The Development of V&A at Dundee
ICON Scotland Group are pleased to announce that the 16th annual Harold Plenderleith Memorial Lecture will be given at 6 pm the Discovery Centre in Dundee this year on 28th November. The speaker will be Philip Long, Director of V&A at Dundee.

V&A at Dundee will be an international centre of design, housed in a world-class building at the heart of Dundee’s waterfront. The V&A at Dundee will host major exhibitions of international design heritage, helping develop talent and encouraging design innovation for the future. In this lecture its Director, Philip Long, will explore the vision for the project and the development of a building that itself will be an exemplar of forward-looking design. He will describe Scotland’s own extraordinary history of design innovation and the preparations now underway to place this material at the heart of the new institution and its activities.

The lecture will be preceded by the ICON Scotland Group’s Annual General Meeting with a guided tour of Dundee’s heritage before that. The lecture will be followed by a reception and buffet.
