It’s challenging, demanding and controversial. FX Talks!

Speakers Simon Allford Joan Bakewell Tim Hunkin Michael Pawlyn TALKS Jonathon Porritt Monty Roberts where Shoreditch Town Hall, 380 Old St, London EC1V 9LT WHEN Thursday 18 May 4pm — 9.30pm Presenter WEB fxtalks.co.uk Tom Dyckhoff FX Talks are produced by Compelo Compelo, a Progressive Media John Carpenter House Group company and the Carmelite Street publisher of FX and Blueprint London EC4Y 0AN designcurial.com It has been a great privilege to deliver this unconventional industry event after several years of dreaming about the concept, and thanks to our generous sponsors, we have been able to invite the best inspirational thinkers from both inside and outside our design circle. So often we are invited to worthy but dull conferences that are financially successful but without any real content. I wanted FX’s first stab in this direction to be different. Radically different. With ideas to stimulate, provoke and make us think differently, I’m hoping this will inspire all the great things to do with about living, and less to do with working. Much as we at FX write about your successful designs and projects, it is very often the ideas behind them that can be so energising and exciting. Very often it’s the concept ideas that are the most engaging that don’t come to fruition because of being too ambitious or too expensive. So instead of writing about them, I thought it would be a good forum to get together to collectively listen and, of course, gt down to some networking afterwards too. I’m lucky to meet some great people in my job, and as long as there’s interesting people in the world who are brave, independent thinkers with a radical vision, FX Talks will carry on talking. I hope you are inspired this evening – and enjoy the networking. I look forward to meeting you tonight.

From AHMM’s base in Clerkenwell Simon leads a studio that works in London and internationally, engaging public and private clients in the exploration of a particular architecture’s potential to offer delight as well as utility. He works on a wide range of scales and, eschewing conventions of specialisation and particular uses, develops through his work the polemic for the ‘Universal Building’. He is working on large-scale urban regeneration projects and one-off buildings whose current programmes include cultural, commercial, residential and academic facilities. Notable recently completed projects include 61 Street, 240 Blackfriars Road, Chobham Academy in the Olympic village (where he also advised on the masterplan), the Angel, Tea and Yellow Buildings, the Saatchi and 176 Galleries, Adelaide Wharf, various research, amenity and academic buildings in Alconbury as well as student housing schemes at Camley Street and Westminster Bridge Road, London.

He has taught, lectured and examined at many schools and was recently vice president for education at the RIBA and a chair of Design Review at CABE. Simon engages in the broader architectural discussion as a frequent writer, critic, teacher, competition juror, frequent lecturer, examiner, adviser and commentator. Monty Roberts’ radical thinking came about on the hills and plains of Nevada. The original Horse Whisperer was just a boy and tracking wild horses when he realised that the mustangs had their own way of communicating, which he later incorporated into his own non-violent horse training approach, called Join-Up. He came to worldwide notice when his method was documented in a BBC Panorama programme in the Eighties, when Monty persuaded a young mustang to wear a saddle and bridle and be ridden within a matter of hours. His radical thinking challenged 6,000 years of conventional horse training that used fear, pain and human domination, to beat the horse in to submission. His methods came to the notice of the Queen, who has adopted Monty’s approach for all her racehorses, and he is in universal demand for training all types of horses who are frightened in some way. Also in demand with corporate communication events, he uses the horse as a model and shares how more can be accomplished with mutual respect and cooperation than ever can be with dominance and aggression. Hundreds of executives from Disney, Merrill Lynch, Jaguar, John Deere and other major corporations have gathered at his ranch in California, experiencing Join-Up demonstrations and listening to these new philosophies in management. A passionate life-long advocate of non-violence, Monty’s ambition is to ‘leave the world a better place than I found it, for horses and for people too’. He will be taking part in FX Talks via video from California. Monty Roberts SPEAKER
