Join us on the 7th March for a guided architectural tour of our award-winning Roca London Gallery, led by Margarita Valova from Zaha Hadid Design and Head of Marketing at Roca Group (UK) David Bromell.

The speakers will discuss the conceptual and technical aspects of the gallery design, and reveal the fascinating story of how the architecture took shape, from Hadid’s initial design concept through to the practical installation. The 90-minute tour will examine the challenges presented by the existing building, the design concept and spatial strategies, and give an in-depth look at the innovative processes and materials used to achieve the iconic double curvature of the interior.

The tour is CPD accredited by the RIBA, RIAI and the BIID.
