Thinkspace: George Clarke

The renowned architect and broadcaster gives a talk as part of the Thinkspace series.

George Clarke is one of Britain’s most recognised architects and television presenters. Through his work on Channel 4 and beyond, he has championed thoughtful design, sustainable living, and the transformation of forgotten spaces into extraordinary homes.

Beyond television and architecture, George is committed to causes that shape society, from the environment and housing to education and youth opportunity. He is an ambassador for many organisations including the National Trust, Shelter, The Woodland Trust, The Foundation of Light. In 2025 he was appointed Chancellor of Northumbria University.

Thinkspace is a new lecture series organised by the Farrell Centre and SPACE Architects to mark 70 years of the practice. It asks how places acquire their character and who gets a say in what they become.
