About

The Good and the Bad: Architecture Is Not About Style is a talk by Dr James Simpson OBE exploring the buildings added to Edinburgh’s World Heritage Site over the past fifty years. Some have been well received and others more controversial; the talk considers what explains these reactions and what makes architecture successful in a historic urban setting. It runs on 25 November from 18:00 to 20:00 at Augustine United Church. Tickets are available online.
