Entitled 'Serendipity', the talk will focus on Whyte’s time as editor for Fortune Magazine (1952 to 1958) and his role in connecting other like minded urbanists to the fate of the post-war city, a crusade that led to his establishment of ‘The Street Life Project’ in 1970.

She previously worked for, among others, Fielden Clegg Bradley Architects, Grimshaws and Edward Cullinan Architects in London.
