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.

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.
