Art and Architecture in the City

The City of London is renowned not only for its striking contemporary architecture but also for its rich tapestry of public art and cultural initiatives. This event, designed for professionals shaping the urban environment, delves into the dynamic relationship between art and architecture. It will explore how these two fields inform, challenge, and enhance one another in the public realm.

Industry leaders from architecture, curation, and public art commissioning will discuss the evolving practices that integrate artinto urban spaces. Key case studies, including projects like Salisbury Square, 50 Fenchurch St, and Sculpture in the City, will serve as focal points for examining best practices in design, implementation, and curation.

This will be an informative event for architects, planners, and professionals in the built environment who are interested in the broader cultural and aesthetic dimensions of urban development.
