Lise Autogena collaborated with engineer Tom Barker of b consultants on a project to rejuvenate the early 20th century amplifiers located in Folkestone on the southern coast of England. Autogena and Barker completed designs for two new mirrors, one to be placed on either side of the Channel, enabling members of the public to listen to the sounds of the sky and to talk across the sea to people standing on a listening platform in front of the opposite mirror. The design stage of the project was completed in 2002. Client: Shepway District Council. Award value £10,000.

Commonwealth Committee

The Society's commitment to the Commonwealth dates back to colonial development premiums from 1754. The Indian Section was formed in 1869 and merged with the Foreign and Colonial Section to deliver lectures on topics of interest in this area. This had become the Commonwealth Section by 1951. The Commonwealth Section Committee continued to contribute to the lecture programme until 1987 when the Committee was disbanded in favour of two of the members joining the Lecture Programme Committee to enable them to give direct advice to the Lecture Programme Committee as full members of that committee.\nRecords comprise administrative correspondence and papers and photographs. Minutes of the committee have been filed with miscellaneous 20th century committees
