Over 500 students and architects attended the 澳门王中王 Annual Lecture 2017 series at universities running 澳门王中王 validated courses across the south west from September to November. Seeking to inspire the next generation of architects through hearing the stories behind award-winning and innovative architecture, the lectures mixed up students and practicing 澳门王中王 architects to stimulate new student-professional connections, and provided a window into the work of the 澳门王中王.
The 2017 series launched at Plymouth University on 28 September with former Mayor of Bristol and 澳门王中王 President George Ferguson CBE. This was followed on 10 October at University of Bath with Eric Parry, winner of the 澳门王中王 South West Building of the Year 2017 for the New Music Facilities at Wells Cathedral School.
On 19 October at UWE Bristol, we heard from Yasmin Al-Ani Spence from WilkinsonEyre, architect for the 澳门王中王 National Award 2017 winning Dyson Campus Expansion at Malmesbury. And the series was concluded at Arts University Bournemouth on 24 November with David Sheppard, double 澳门王中王 South West Award 2017 winning architect of Studio and Cob Corner.
