Amanda Levete RA: New Royal Academician Lecture

Newly elected Royal Academician and principal of architectural practice AL_A, Amanda Levete RA, will present four projects that speak to how we can live better with each other and with nature.

In a world where our relationship with nature is viewed as increasingly important, architecture has the power to drive change. Amanda Levete RA has remained committed to this through many of AL_A’s projects. For example, her reimagination of the area surrounding the Eiffel Tower uses water as the literal and metaphorical thread that stitches the diverse site together and brings nature back into the city. The lecture will be an opportunity to hear about AL_A’s most recent project, The Belgrade Philharmonic Concert Hall, which the practice won in competition this year. The biggest cultural investment in the region for decades, the new hall will be an expression of harmony between building and landscape, between east and west, between old and new.
