Dezeen and Knauf launch Architecture Project Talks, an online lecture series presented by leading UK architects
Posted in: Uncategorized
Dezeen has partnered with Knauf to present Architecture Project Talks, a series of presentations by architects about key projects that involve historic structures, sustainable materials and digital reconstruction methods.
The three talks, which count towards continuing professional development (CPD) points for UK architects, feature Grade II*-listed community theatre Battersea Arts Centre, Stirling Prize-shortlisted Cork House and 168 Upper Street, a deliberately distorted replica of a Victorian terrace.
Read on for more information and to register for free to attend the talks.
Battersea Arts Centre by Haworth Tompkins

Battersea Arts Centre is a community theatre that was renovated over the course of 12 years by UK architecture firm Haworth Tompkins.
The project’s architect Martin Lydon will discuss the design and delivery process, the challenges of working with a historic building and how the studio handled the fire that destroyed the building midway through its renovation.

Cork House by Matthew Barnett Howland, Dido Milne and Oliver Wilton
1:00pm London time on Friday 11 June 2021
Located beside the River Thames in Berkshire, England, Cork House is a residential building made from sustainably sourced cork.
Matthew Barnett Howland and Dido Milne of CSK Architects collaborated with Bartlett professor Oliver Wilton to design the dwelling so that it could be easily dismantled for reuse or recycling.
