October was an exciting month for all at Bonfire as we were guests at the Minerva Dinner hosted HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and held at St. James’ Palace.
The dinner acknowledged the work and lifetime achievements of Lord Rogers of Riverside where he was awarded the 2007 Minerva Medal in recognition of his outstanding achievements in urban design and architecture.
The medal was presented to Lord Rogers by the Society’s patron HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.
The CSD’s Chief Executive, Frank Peters said:
“Lord Rogers has proved through his extensive career that his concern is not purely limited to architectural concepts in the traditional sense. His work encompasses the wider aspects of design in the built environment, in particular with regard to design for living within urban spaces.
In exposing the internal services of buildings to the outside environment he has demonstrated that building and environmental spaces are interdependent, therefore highlighting the wider design role and responsibility of the architect”.
