Introducing ‘Lean-to’ by Shezad Dawood

10, Station Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB1 2FP

  • 12 Sep 2024
  • In person
  • Pre-booking required

Internationally recognised artist, Shezad Dawood will present his recently completed sculptural commission for CB1, 'Lean-to'.

'Lean-to' explores the idea of building elements meeting and morphing in space, to become a kind of fantasy meta-architecture - while also remaining discreet and functional.

In creating 'Lean-to', Dawood was drawn to certain key architectural moments and instances across the City of Cambridge, and then the choice was how these elements might come together both structurally and aesthetically - like a 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzle.

'Lean-to' is designed to be a place of meeting or a coffee break that references the array of architectural styles and movements that have contributed to the iconic visual language of Cambridge.

During the talk the audience will have the opportunity to view Lean-to in the presence of the artist and hear about the inspiration behind it.
