Perhaps now more than ever before, we are all aware of the built environment that surrounds us, and of the impacts it has on the health of individuals, communities, and the planet. The Architecture of Place series brings together the established and emerging voices working to create a better built future.
In February 2026, the ICAA, INTBAU, and The King's Foundation will co-host The Architecture of Place: In Conversation with..., a series of interviews featuring architects Robbie Kerr and Kate Chambers and sculptor Clunie Fretton.
In this three-part series, each speaker will alternately serve as interviewer and interviewee, discussing the influences, experiences, and projects that have shaped their approach to the architecture of place. Each session will conclude with an open Q&A. The programs are free and open for public registration, and recorded versions of the programs will be made available to all.
In the first conversation in the series, Clunie Fretton will interview Robbie Kerr.
As Design Director at ADAM Architecture, Robbie Kerr has his own distinct portfolio, designing a variety of projects including new private homes in the UK and overseas, the restoration of historic buildings, and new housing developments. He is developing his own design ethos and interpretation of the Classical architecture principles in all his projects. Robbie is developing the practice’s presence in London and overseas – with projects in countries such as Cuba, Nigeria, Morocco and Hong Kong – with projects including new private homes, the restoration of historic buildings, and new housing developments. Robbie became the youngest ever ADAM director in 2016; he is keen to learn from the broader international understanding of tradition and classical architecture; he is becoming a significant contributor to architecture debates, in particular the increasing acceptance of classical and traditional architecture within the wider architecture arena; and is also an active member of a number of architecture organisations and charities.
