Design excellence should be at the heart of all development. But what makes design good or bad? How can you build in beauty and longevity?
Professor Sadie Morgan’s lecture will showcase practical examples where early testing and thinking have elevated the impact of infrastructure projects.
Looking at both policy and projects, from the National Infrastructure Strategy policy document for the NIC, to the Birmingham Curzon Street Station for HS2, her lecture will examine the elements behind making good design happen.
A lecture by Sadie Morgan OBE recorded on 25 April 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.
