Her work is firmly rooted in a very personal experience of belonging and never fails to charm, entice and encourage people to feel differently about their experience of where they are.

Myerscough is joined by Martyn Evans, Creative Director at U+I and Christine Murray, Editor-in-chief of The Developer. Myerscough’s work has been at the centre of many U+I developments and has been an integral part of three Stirling Prize nominated projects, one of which was the winner in 2015.

 

The format is a 30-minute talk followed by an audience Q&A and an online networking session.
