Architecture: From Prehistory to Climate Crisis Lecture
Thursday 23 September 2021. 6.30pm. Online
Barnabas Calder will give an overview of his new book about the highly topical subject, 'Architecture: From Prehistory to Climate Crisis' (Penguin Books), published in June which makes the links between architecture, energy use and production.
The book is a history of architecture and how it is influenced by the available energy. ‘If we are to avoid catastrophic climate change then now, more than ever, we need beautiful but also intelligent architecture, and to retrofit - not demolish - the buildings we already have.’
Barnabas Calder is an architectural historian, Senior Lecturer at the University of Liverpool, and a trustee of C20 Society.
Members: £4. Non-Members: £6.
We will send you a Zoom link by email after you book, which will enable you to “join” the event, and we’ll be using the Q&A function to take questions at the end. If you’ve not used Zoom before, clicking on the Zoom link will take you through the set-up process, hopefully simply and smoothly! You should receive an automated link within an hour of booking so please check your spam/junk emails if you haven't received this. Any further problems please contact coordinator@c20society.org.uk.
