Barriers And Belonging

A panel talk exploring themes of security, access and public space

Thursday 18th June

17:30 - 18:30

Activity Type
Talk

Join this unique discussion exploring themes of division and connection in relation to No.1616 Fence (2026), a new sculptural installation by Rana Begum and Webb Yates.

No.1616 Fence (see other listing!) responds to its siting in the courtyard of Space House. The building, one of several London landmarks including centre point and NatWest tower designed by the architect Richard Siefert with long term collaborator, engineer Willem Frischman is a synthesis of their disciplines belonging simultaneously to the realms of structure and architecture.

Join Shumon, Rana and Steve as they unpack themes of security, access and public space in relation to the project.
