An Audience with Peter Cook
24 April 2008, 6.00pm - 8.00pm
Gallery 5, The Lighthouse
Peter Cook was one of the founder members of the influential Archigram group in the 1960s and was Director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, from 1970 to 1972. He was appointed Life Professor at the Staedelschule (Art Academy) of Frankfurt in 1984, helping establish its reputation as one of the leading German architecture schools. He later (1990) became Professor of Architecture at The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, a position from which he retired in 2005.
Professor Cook has won several international competitions for; social housing, an entertainment centre, solar-energised housing, an information museum, a museum of antiquities and the Kunsthaus ˆ a modern art museum in Graz, Austria. The latter project won him a shortlisting with Colin Fournier for the Stirling Prize in 2004, two years after Archigram received the Royal Gold Medal for architecture from the Royal Institute of British Architecture. He is currently Head of Design for London's Olympic Stadium.
Standing as one of world's foremost architects, Peter will deliver a lecture here at The Lighthouse on his work.
