Hear the story behind British Airways i360's 12 year journey from its architect-entrepreneurs and chief engineer.
Officially the world’s most slender tower, David Marks and Julia Barfield of Marks Barfield Architects and Dr John Roberts of Jacobs will explain the thinking behind its concept and ground-breaking, design, engineering and construction.In 1996 the same team reinvented the Ferris wheel, focusing on the passenger experience - the result was the London Eye. British Airways i360 has redesigned and refined the same experience resulting in a visually much lighter capsule that pushes the limits of the possible. Its purpose is simply to delight, entertain and inspire, however if it has the same regenerative benefits in Brighton as the London Eye did on the south Bank, so much the better.
A canapés and drinks reception, open to all attendees, will follow the lecture.
The lecture is hosted by RIBA and a joint IStructE, AIA event.
