Register to attend this one-day conference exploring the architects Seely and Paget, the restoration of their buildings and reputation of their work and life in the 21st century.
Registration will close on Friday 26 April (12 noon).
An event supported by five partners, this will take place in the fascinating surroundings of The Charterhouse, Clerkenwell.
Restoration and Reputation
Buildings of the architectural practice of Seely and Paget, between 1920s - c1970, were not greatly celebrated in their time, then largely overlooked as modernism became dominant through the second half of the twentieth century. While architecture of the period is now being reappraised, John Seely and Paul Paget’s personal relationship has also attracted comment.
This day conference, hosted in buildings which they restored after extensive bomb damage in 1941, will look at recent restorations of their buildings and how they alter assessments of Seely and Paget.
