AN ARCHITECT who has lectured across the world will be the keynote speaker at the 2011 Guernsey Awards for Achievement.
Robert Adam is being brought to the island to talk about his 34-year career in architecture by the Garenne Group, which has secured a number of high profile speakers for the event in recent years.
‘Garenne chairman Stuart Falla had the pleasure of hearing Robert speak earlier this year and thought he would make an ideal speaker for the Award for Achievement,’ said Garenne chief executive Andy Hall.
‘We have had some exceptional speakers from Lord Coe and Lord Falconer to Tim Smit and Mel Young and all have brought something unique to this celebration of what makes Guernsey the successful place it is. Garenne Group is once again delighted to be involved with the Awards for Achievement.’
Mr Adam, 63, has practised in Winchester since 1977 and co-founded Winchester Design in 1986, which subsequently became Robert Adam Architects in 2000 and then ADAM Architecture in 2010. During his career, he has worked on a diverse range of projects including major private houses, extensions to historic buildings and public and commercial buildings.
