Robin Evans Memorial Series Inaugural Lecture: About Bob Evans
This free event reflects on, commemorates and celebrates the life, work and influence of Bob Evans, the architect and educator.
A Senior Lecturer at University of Westminster between 1986 and 1993, Bob Evans was much loved by his colleagues and students, and used his penetrating intellect and brilliantly creative mind to enlighten at every level and promote enthusiasm and optimism in the field of architecture. Evans lectured widely at world renowned institutions including Harvard, Cambridge and the Architectural Association and his many essays and reviews were regularly published in journals such as Casa Bella, Architectural Review and AA Quarterly. Bob Evans died suddenly at his home in 1993, tragically young and at a moment when his career promised so much more.

When: 6pm (5.30pm doors), Thursday 3 March 2016.
