Join us for an in-person talk by Patrick Lynch (UK), founder of Lynch Architects and Canalside Press, at Bookshop by Uro, Sydney.

Patrick will present the ideas behind the inception of Canalside Press, and will discuss the origins and ambitions behind the three series of books that they publish, as well as the continuing relevance of books to architectural practice. In particular, he will reflect on the continuing relevance of the poetic and social dimension of the urban imagination today.

Lynch Architects is a London-based RIBA Chartered practice that prides itself on providing imaginative and empathetic solutions to complex technical and cultural challenges. For the past 27 years they have worked at almost every scale on nearly all types of building in every sector - from individual houses to social and private housing schemes, cultural and commercial projects, new-buildings and renovations. Alongside the architectural practice sits Canalside Press. The press publish books relating to the broader cultural situation of architecture, poetry and the visual arts, and the Journal of Civic Architecture (JoCA). As well as scholarly essays by architects and historian, the JoCA also features art works, landscapes, and work by contemporary poets.
