Introducing the amazing world of Populous. Whilst the world is still getting used to the new way of working, RIBA South West wanted to look at some industries that have been affected by these new challenges to see how they are adapting to the changes. Join one of the world leaders in stadia design to discover some of their inspirational projects for sport and entertainment, and explore how future architects need to design for this sector.

Speaker

She played a lead role on the development of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and led work on the Tottenham Hotspur Experience building.
