Description

From India to the USA Wren’s influence can be seen in buildings around the world. Ranging from the clapboard churches of New England to the city halls of Belfast and Durban. Architecture author and critic Edwin Heathcote will be joined by architect Annabelle Selldorf, broadcaster Loyd Grossman and architectural historian Alex Bremner to debate whether Wren was Britain’s first ‘starchitect’ and the extent to which the international ‘Wrenaissance’ should be considered the language of British colonial architecture. The panel will also consider if, 300 years after his death, Wren is still relevant to contemporary architecture.

Ticket proceeds will go towards the Square Mile Churches and World Monuments Fund Britain.

Supported by William J. Loschert KSG.
