Join the RIBA Somerset branch for Designing with the mind in Mind and Music, an in-person lecture by Ian Ritchie.
Your ticket includes a place at the lecture and a canape reception with drinks before the talk.
Guest speaker Ian Ritchie will present an overview of the research and design approach to the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour at University College London and the Royal Academy of Music’s new opera and musical theatre and recital hall.
This illustrated talk will include short films and a hint at Ian Ritchie’s notion of non-linear beauty - a characteristic he tries to achieve in his practice’s architecture.
After the presentation, Ian will be available for a Q&A session.
