MULTISTORY @ The Doodle Bar
Richard Coleman
Wed 13 November 7pm



CSA is pleased to announce the second in our new occasional series of MULTISTORY talks and events hosted by our Professor of Architecture, Will Alsop in London at The Doodle Bar, Battersea. These intimate monthly events compliment the weekly MULTISTORY series held at UCA Canterbury and provide an opportunity for students and staff to get together informally with alumni, friends and collaborators based in London.

DESIGN INTEGRITY - a lecture by Richard Coleman

Richard Coleman is an architect, and a townscape and heritage consultant. He is a highly respected adviser on proposed architectural designs which affect historic environments. He has long promoted the view that design quality, authenticity and building craftsmanship resolves these issues rather than repeating historic styles. His consultancy, Citydesigner, provides developers and design teams with support for their proposals through careful analysis of both existing environments and imagined environments and design assessments during design development.

Richard was trained at Canterbury School of Architecture. Following architectural practice, he ran the executive of the Royal Fine Art Commission (the precursor to CABE) giving advice on visual matters concerning nationally important projects for 13 years. As a consultant for over 15 years, Richard has contributed to many high profile projects such as the Gherkin and the Merryll Lynch HQ, both in the City of London. He has advised St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London and the Tate Gallery and originated and later revised, the London View Management Framework for both the Mayor’s of London.

Relevant local projects include: Shell Centre Lambeth with Arup Associates; Founders Court Lambeth with Farrells; Texaco Site Vauxhall with MAKE; Arundel Great Court, Westminster with Wilkinson Eyre and Horden Cherry Lee; South Lambeth Road Student Tower Lambeth with Feilden Clegg Bradley; Victoria Nova with KPF/PLP; 30 Finsbury Square with Eric Parry.
