On December 3rd 2024, Ken De Cooman, co-founder of BC Architects + Studies will present the first talk in a new annual lecture series at London’s Barbican Centre focussed on the work of architects who are undertaking pioneering work in the field of sustainability.
The series is named in memory of the American architect Rick Mather, who maintained a highly successful practice in London until his death in 2013 and played a significant role in advancing thinking about the environmental performance of buildings. This short film describes that contribution, with particular reference to Mather’s longstanding involvement in the development of the University of East Anglia and his buildings for Keble College and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. The film was directed by Tapio Snellman and written and narrated by Kester Rattenbury, whose book on the architecture of Rick Mather will be published by Lund Humphries in 2025.
Tickets for Ken de Cooman’s talk are available from the Barbican box office. www.barbican.org.uk
The Rick Mather Lecture is supported by the Rick Mather David Scrase Foundation. www.rmdsf.org.uk
Rick Mather’s practice continues as MICA Architects www.micaarchitects.com
