Design Realisation Lecture Series 2021-22

About

This series of lectures will equip students with new tools, technologies and ways of thinking about their work so that ideas can be expressed on the macro and micro scale. The series seeks to address some of the fundamental social, cultural, economic, environmental, ecological and legislative challenges, which face designers today. This responds to real world constraints and opportunities that can empower the delivery process from concept to reality. The role and demands upon architecture and the architect are always evolving. It is important that we open up a dialogue with students, staff and practice to address the possibilities for effective design realisation in the present and in the future. 

Each lecture runs 12:00 - 14:00
