Presented in conjunction with the exhibit “Gritty Brits: New London Architecture,” on view through June 3, the discussion will be led by London architects Sean Griffiths of FAT (Fashion Architecture Taste) and Niall McLaughlin of Níall McLaughlin Architects and local civic leaders.
Participating civic leaders are Raymund Ryan, Carnegie Museum of Art curator of architecture and organizer of Gritty Brits; Hilary Robinson, dean of the College of Art, Carnegie Mellon University; Jane Werner, director of the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh; and Pat Ford, City of Pittsburgh director of community and economic development.
