MEET THE GUEST | Peter MURRAY, Curator-in-Chief New London Architecture, UK

He trained as an architect but has spent most of his career writing about and commenting on architecture rather than practising it. He studied at Bristol University and at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in Bedford Square. He edited the weekly newspaper for architects, Building Design, before moving on to the Royal Institute of British Architects Journal.

Peter curated a number of major exhibitions at the Royal Academy including the 1986 New Architecture: the work of Foster, Rogers, Stirling, and Living Bridges in 1996. He founded the design and architecture magazine Blueprint and the global communications company Wordsearch which specializes in design and branding for architecture and real estate  with offices in Beijing, Singapore, Sydney, New York as well as London.

Through his work with NLA, Murray has also played a key role in advocating for better urban planning and design in London. He has been a vocal critic of the city’s overreliance on tall buildings and has advocated for a more sustainable and human-centered approach to urban development.
