The conversations that hold the evening together.
Three canvases, three moderated conversations. Filter the room by mandate, or take it all in at once.
Canvas I opens in the hands of Peter Murray.
Peter Murray OBE Hon FRIBA is an independent urbanist, curator and convenor, known principally as an architectural writer and commentator. He was appointed OBE in the 2021 Birthday Honours for services to architecture, city planning, design, publication and charity.
He opens an evening built around a conversation between The Shard & the Burj Khalifa, which is very much his subject.

Peter Murray OBE is confirmed to moderate Canvas I, and Mark Davy is confirmed to speak on Canvas II. Every other seat is being confirmed, with invitations in progress. We publish a name only once it is agreed, and we say which kind of commitment it is.
Value beyond the balance sheet
Beyond the three panels, a curated cultural moment: an independent art expert on art as an asset class and the legacy of David Hockney, whose light shaped this edition. Where the language of the canvas meets the language of trophy real estate. The speaker is being confirmed.
