Join architect Chris Romer-Lee for an insight into Studio Octopi’s award winning work on ‘Writ in Water’, a new immersive space for contemplation and reflection at Runnymede, Surrey.

Over 800 years ago, Runnymede witnessed the feudal barons forcing King John to seal Magna Carta - a founding moment in shaping the basis of common law across the world.

Writ in Water, commissioned by the National Trust in association with arts producers Situations, celebrates the enduring significance of Magna Carta.

Set in the heart of this ancient landscape, Writ in Water reflects upon the founding principles of democracy, and through a meeting of water, sky and light, provides visitors with a space for reflection and contemplation.

About the speaker: Water and sculpture connect Chris’s projects and that of his relative, Hamo Thornycroft who had much of his work cast at Singer’s.
