Architecture - Putting Humpty together
Richard Burton

Richard Burton maintains that architecture is a holistic art form but one which needs to include contemporary requirements and knowledge. His talk aimed to bring issues raised at this conference together with his own experience and relate them to architecture.

Richard Burton, MRIBA, with his colleagues Peter Ahrends and Paul Koralek founded the well known architectural practice ABK Architects. They practiced together for over forty years and were regarded as pathfinders in such areas as energy conservation, the bringing together of art and architecture, the use of social psychologists in briefing and evaluating their schemes and in working on health buildings which enhance the healing effect. Richard is now a painter.
