Presented by the College of Environmental Design as part of the campus-wide lecture series Arts + Design Mondays @ BAMPFA.
For this very special A+D event, the audience will enjoy an intimate interview with world-renowned architect Lord Norman Foster, founder of Foster + Partners and the Norman Foster Foundation, and Dean Vishaan Chakrabarti of the College of Environmental Design that has been pre-recorded and edited for this audience with animations and visuals by LightField London that will bring to life Lord Norman Foster’s life, legacy and work. After the 45 minute special interview, Dean Chakrabarti will be joined by John King of the San Francisco Chronicle for a live discussion about Lord Norman Foster and the future of architecture. Q+A will be available.
Lord Foster, Dean Chakrabarti and King will all explore Foster’s lifetime trajectory, particularly in relation to the arts, culminating in his work with his own Foundation, which promotes interdisciplinary thinking and research to help new generations of architects, designers and urbanists to anticipate the future.
