Abstract
Eric Parry (RIBA, RA) gave a keynote talk at the Architecture, Festival and the City conference in November 2017. The following interview with Professor Christian Frost, co-organizer of the conference, is from February 2018. It develops some of the themes from Parry’s talk relating to practice, education and communicative space, and also explores other ideas and experiences that have shaped his architectural and intellectual practice.
