Design: A Practice for Everyday Life.
'A Place for the Work and the Human Being' runs throughout 2019 and takes place in a range of venues, new and old, around Glasgow. The series explores the needs, expectations and possibilities of the space for art today and speakers include artists, architects, curators and others.
For our sixth talk in the series, we were delighted to present the Glasgow-based architect, Jude Barber.
