Description:
As an extension of our everyday lives, a home is an
essential part of us all. They are practical places - buildings for us to eat or sleep in - yet for most, home is the most expensive thing we ever buy or rent, a complex thing offering a lifetime of investment and preoccupation.
Inspired by the RIBA's new housing exhibition 'A Place to Call Home: Where We Live and Why' and featuring the work of William Chambers, CFA Voysey, Erno Goldfinger, Tecton and more, this talk examines how great architects through history have explored and expressed ideas of house and home. With Dr Elizabeth Grant, RIBA.
Part of the RIBA's Home Season 16 February - 28 April 2012| - talks, displays, film screenings and more.
