sutherland lecture online

Very pleased to note that the Institution of Structural Engineers in London has uploaded video of the James Sutherland History Lecture that I was invited to give earlier this month there.  On “Pier Luigi Nervi and the Role of Structure in Architectural Beauty,” anyone who’s seen me talk on Nervi will be familiar with the first half, but there are some newly jotted-down thoughts toward the end that are fresher.  Many thanks to Rachel Doran, Jane Entwistle, Andrew Smith, et al for putting on such a fine evening…
