Does identity matter? – The production of a city's identity

Royal Academy of Arts

Part 2/3 of our 'Does identity matter?' series: Join Shumi Bose, Senior Lecturer in Architecture at Central Saint Martins, UAL, as she chairs a panel of experts examining how a city's architectural landscape can influence its identity – from unmissable "icons" that define our skyline to the more technical, but no less important, influences of height restrictions. Speakers: - Adam Greenfield (writer and urbanist; author of Radical Technologies: The Design of Everyday Life) - Mustafa Chehabeddine (Design Principal, Kohn Pedersen Fox) - Emily Gee (London Planning Director, Historic England) - Morag Myerscough (designer/artist fascinated by how colour, pattern and words can change urban environments and people’s perceptions of spaces into places) - Shumi Bose (Chair) Senior Lecturer in Architecture, Central Saint Martins, UAL; curator at the RIBA This event was organised in partnership with the London Festival of Architecture.
