UAL students and staff are invited to come and quiz Paul Williams, founding director of Stanton Williams, the architects behind the Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design (CSM) campus at King’s Cross, at the next UAL Meets.
The informal Q&A will be chaired by Pro Vice-Chancellor and Head of CSM Jeremy Till and take place on Wednesday 24th April at 4pm at Central Saint Martins’ Platform Theatre Foyer Space. A bar will be open from 3.30pm and after the talk.
This is the fourth in an exciting series of UAL Meets, following Q&As with Grayson Perry, Michael Wolff and Tom Hulme.
Paul formed the partnership Stanton Williams with Alan Stanton in 1985. In November 2011, Stanton Williams were judged to have made the most significant contribution to British architecture over the past year and were presented with the BD Architect of the Year Award 2011 along with the title of Education Architect of the Year.
Paul is actively involved with the concept and design development of many of the studio projects. He has been responsible for many projects including Issey Miyake Shops, the Eton Manor site for the London Olympics, Compton Verney Art Gallery, the Millennium Seedbank and the practice’s exhibition designs and museum installations. Current projects of the practice include King’s Cross Square, the Musee d’Art in Nantes, an art gallery extension for Lincoln College in Oxford, a student residential development at King’s Cross and two prime residential developments on the river Thames.
Those attending the event can put their questions to Paul on the day, and questions can also be submitted via Twitter using the hashtag #UALMeets, or via the online booking form below.
