The 17th BCA Berthold Lubetkin Memorial Lecture to be held on
Tuesday 14th October 2008; 1800 - 2000; London
This year the lecture is being presented by
FAT, otherwise known as Fashion, Architecture and Taste. FAT have
raised a few eyebrows amongst the architectural establishment. With
an international portfolio of projects which ranges from urban
design and master planning in the Netherlands to the design of
trailer homes for artists in Northern Scotland, FAT challenges both
our preconceptions and expectations. Eccentric yes. Flippant maybe.
But never dull.
