Come and hear Iain Sinclair talk about his series of expeditions to explore the connections between sickness and structures. As research for his new book, ‘Living with Buildings’, Sinclair travelled to London, Marseille, Mexico and the Outer Hebrides. Listen to tales about the tower blocks, hospitals, churches and architectural designs he encountered, and their relationship to our health. There will an opportunity for you to ask questions.
We’ll be in the Henry Wellcome Auditorium. To get there, take the stairs or the lift down to level −1. The auditorium is fitted with a hearing loop.
This event will be live-transcribed, with text displayed on a large screen.
