Loneliness – sixteen3 Salon #2

Events
26/03/26 | Alex Lifschutz and Dinah Bornat discuss what drives a modern epidemic and how the places and spaces we design can respond, with our host David Taylor

Thursday 26th March 2026 | 18:30 – 20:30

 

For the second event in our sixteen3 Salon series, host David Taylor chairs a discussion about what drives loneliness, and how we might combat it. Featuring Dinah Bornat of ZCD Architects and Alex Lifschutz of Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands.

Loneliness is increasingly being recognised as a contemporary epidemic, especially in densely populated urban areas where community is harder to foster and crowds offer anonymity, rather than the potential for meaningful connection.

Our architect speakers both pride themselves on their people-focused work: Dinah Bornat’s particular area of expertise is in making space for children and community, whilst Alex Lifschutz forefronts flexibility and adaptability in buildings and placemaking, with his degree in sociology and psychology bringing an additional awareness to this conversation.

 

The event will run Thursday 26th March, 18:30 – 20:30 at the sixteen3 showroom, 25 Bastwick street, EC1V 3PS. Drinks will be served, with the actual talk starting around 19:00.
