Description
This was my inaugural public lecture at Northumbria:How we relate to the world around us is often affected by our memories and experiences. This is especially true of older architecture and artefacts, where having any kind of understanding can be difficult due to a lack of points of personal connection. During this lecture, Professor Richard Laing will explore how buildings and objects can often represent a gateway into the subject of heritage and unveil unexpected insights.
The lecture will take the form of three short stories:
Uncle Sam and the Linotype Machine
Missing the Beatles at the Two Red Shoes
Buying a Mars Bar at the pictures
Such stories are waiting to be heard and might well encourage the audience to think of their own stories of buildings, streets, objects and people.
