Iconicon and London Icons

John Grindrod, Dr Ruth Lang and Sanaa Shaikh present an evening dedicated to London icons since the 1980s. Sat within the shadow of the Millennium Dome, John will take us on a revelatory tour of the buildings that encapsulate the dreams and aspirations of our culture, drawing on the research he undertook for his new book: Iconicon: A Journey Around the Landmark Buildings of Contemporary Britain. Whether modest or monumental, these projects offer a living history of Britain, symbols of the forces that have shaped our modern landscape and icons in their own right.

John will be joined by a series of experts from the London built environment and we will be kindly hosted in the NOW Gallery, part of the revitalised Greenwich Peninsula. 

Ruth is an architect, writer, and curator, whose research explores alternative strategies and positions which can be adopted in pursuit of the practice of architecture.

Sanaa Shaikh, founder of Native Studio, she is an Architect, educator and activist with a passion for inclusion in the built environment. 

Tickets are available here.
