Information about the speakers

We were very sorry to learn about the passing of the exceptional architect Will Alsop on May 12, 2018. We feel truly honored and grateful for the experience to have had him speak at one of our events. He will be missed greatly.

The late Prof. Will Alsop was a prominent architect, artist, and educator who established aLL Design in 2011. His work encompassed all sectors of architecture, including urban and landscape design and planning. His studio practice incorporated fine art painting, writing, and model making. Alsop’s core values were innovation, expression, and originality with an emphasis on enjoyment. He worked on a vast array of projects and in all scales; from a bandstand in London to the French Government HQ in Marseille ‘Le Grand Bleu’ via master planning, urban design, landscape architecture, interior, and product design. He hosted numerous international workshops and lectures.
