Talk by Hugh Pearman: Not trying to be clever or anything
Hugh Pearman MBE, is an internationally acclaimed architectural journalist, critic and author, and Chair of the Twentieth Century Society.
His latest book, ‘About Architecture: An Essential Guide in 55 Buildings’ is published by Yale University Press. He worked for three decades as architecture and design critic of The Sunday Times, edited the award-winning Journal of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and has written extensively for other media. He was one of the founders of the Stirling Prize for Architecture, and the originator of the more recent MacEwen Award celebrating ‘Architecture for the Common Good’. Pearman was awarded the MBE in 2019 for services to architecture. He is not an architect.
The title of his talk, ‘Not Trying to be Clever or Anything’, is heartfelt. Pearman has always believed in presenting architecture – which can seem a bafflingly mysterious subject to anyone not involved in it – as clearly and as entertainingly as possible, whether for the general public or a professional audience.
In this talk he will explain how he found himself committed to present architecture from across the world and all of history in just 11 building types and 55 case studies.
How exactly do you do that, and make it fun along the way?
