This talk unpicks the underlying ancient understandings which have constructed our ideas of civilisation. We start with the view that the space inhabited by people is rooted in these ideas of civilisation and still shapes our culture, society and relationship with nature. Ray will share some of the ways in which these deep-seated concepts, reflected in everyday signs and symbols, are a source for much of his work and a critique of the human relationship with nature.

Ray is an architect and musician, and some years ago directed the Urban Architecture Research Unit at Uni of North London (now London Metropolitan University). He now focuses on what he calls ‘making objects with meaning’.
