Architecture on Stage is a programme of talks curated by the Architecture Foundation in partnership with the Barbican Centre.
Ken De Cooman is co-founder of BC, a family of Brussels-based companies that includes the architectural practice BC architects, the manufacturer of earth-based building products BC materials, and the research office BC studies. All of BC's varied activities are focussed on the decarbonisation of the construction industry.
The talk is the first in a series of lectures supported by the Rick Mather and David Scrase Foundation. The architect Rick Mather (1937-2013) was responsible for the design of such pioneering low-energy buildings as Constable Terrace (1993) at the University of East Anglia and the Sloane Robinson building (2002) at Keble College Oxford. Honouring that legacy, the annual Rick Mather Lecture celebrates the work of architects who are making important contributions to thinking about sustainability today.
