This discussion explores the affect of urban building and design on our lives and questions whether there are motivations behind it.
The modernist architecture espoused by communism explicitly promoted the ethos of collective living. It could also be argued that shopping centres encourage you to shop, parks persuade you to linger, local shops enhance communities and gated buildings create restrictions. So are we more directed by what surrounds us than we think? This discussion explores the affect of urban building and design on our lives and questions whether there are motivations behind it.
Speakers include Anna Minton (author and journalist), Jonathan Meades (author and broadcaster) and Professor Alan Penn (UCL Bartlett, Faculty of the Built Environment). The event will be chaired by Neil Denny (Little Atoms)
