The Riba Lecture Series: Public Spaces, Public Places
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.5 October - Colin St John Wilson: "The New British Library"
"Strong feelings about space are not the privilege of architects: we all have them from the moment of birth in a body language that tells us instantly if we are threatened and put down or invited and at home. These are the experiences architecture should be handling."
Colin St John Wilson's walk-through tour of the building will explain why he chose the materials, the library's relationship with St Pancras Station and its position within the distinctly English Free School tradition of architecture.
All lectures start at 7pm, at Jarvis Hall, Riba, 66 Portland Place, London W1. Tickets pounds 4 (students and concessions pounds 2.50) from Riba Bookshop, address as above or telephone 0171-251 0791.
