Time: 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM Airports in the 21st century are the most important building type in the world. Capable of surplanting entire cities in their importance, they are at the heart of the global economy and the movement of people and services. In the past 60 years they have grown from basic landing strips to today's awe inspiring cathedrals of glass and steel. Pushing engineering to its limits they have lept in scale. But what were the great milestones and key drivers in this architectural evolution and where are airports heading next? Panel discussion charting what makes or breaks a great airport and what will shape them in the next 60 years. With contributions from Hugh Pearman (Editor, RIBA Journal) and Jonathan Glancey (Architecture critic, presenter and writer). More names to be confirmed soon.
