DESCRIPTION:How can a journey change the way an architect thinks\, lives 
 and designs? In 1975\, British architect David Lea travelled to China. A
 n early advocate of environmentally responsible architecture\, Lea retur
 ned from the visit with experiences and ideas that would leave a lasting
  impression on his life and work.\n\nDrawing on Lea's remarkable photogr
 aphs of China in the 1970s\, alongside images of his later architectural
  projects\, both built and unbuilt\, Adam Voelcker explores the connecti
 ons between this journey and Lea's evolving approach to architecture and
  everyday living. The talk offers a glimpse into China at a time of prof
 ound political and social change.\n\nThere will be an audience Q&A after
  the presentation.\n\nTickets are free and everyone is welcome.\n\nAbout
