Dr Dan Patterson on Innovation, Art and Design

On The Air with Culford School

In S2 E2, hosts Ellena, Elizabeth and Evie delve into the topics of Innovation, Art and Design. In a jam-packed episode, they welcome three guests to the studio and special guest Dr Dan Patterson OC (1981-1991) over Zoom from his home in Texas.
First up in the studio are Culford's Head of Art, Mrs Richardson, and new Head of Design and Technology, Mr Macmillan. They discuss what art and design mean to them, teaching at Culford, creative inspirations and how the industry continues to change.
In the show's second half, Samantha Salisbury, Director of Foundation, shares the importance of keeping alumni connected as hosts welcome Donor and Old Culfordian Dr Dan Patterson on Zoom. Dan is recognised as a global thought leader and visionary within the project management industry. He worked with a team of people at Culford to develop the new Patterson Centre for Creative Technology, providing most of its funding. Through his support, the School has been able to re-engineer and transform the building into a flagship for innovation, technology and creativity.
Samantha and Dan share the story of how Dan revisited Culford, and the concept of the Patterson Centre began. Dan shares his thoughts on innovation over invention, Culford's impact on his life and advice on the challenges of being an entrepreneur.
