Video of the 'Exemplars of buildings where culture is at the core and artists have been involved as part of the early design process' presentation by Peter Buchan, Senior Partner, Ryder Architecture, delivered at the Art in Architecture event.
This presentation focuses on:
Examining how buildings respond to context, location and regional culture in the North East of England
Examining when the Newcastle City Library artists entered into the design process, how that worked and influenced related buildings and subsequent Ryder projects
What can this region learn from what is happening in cultural buildings in the rest of the world?
