The architect behind plans to redevelop Battersea Power station will be speaking at a free public event at Southwark Cathedral on Thursday, June 24.

Rafael Vinoly, will talk about the iconic Nine Elms site and a project at 20 Fenchurch Street, dubbed The Walkie Talkie, as well as offering insights on a career in architecture, which has taken him around the world.

The masterplan for the Battersea Power Station, aims to create a mixed-used sustainable development with commercial, retail and residential units.

There will also be community facilities and a zero-carbon energy plant that adaptively reuses the power station itself.

The lecture, part of the London Festival of Architecture, begins at 7pm. E-Tickets for the event are available by contacting Vinoly@nadinejohnson.com.
