The lecture will explore the technologies that make tall buildings possible. With the current climate crisis in mind, what is the carbon footprint of a building, and how can it be reduced?

Finally, the lecturer will present some recent projects by Foster + Partners, and set out his vision for the future of tall buildings, the new technologies that are improving them, and the benefits they offer to society.

The event is taking place in person on Thursday 27 April 2023, 6pm-7pm (UK time) at Barnard’s Inn Hall, 30 Holborn, London EC1N 2HH. You can also attend online here.
