The Bartlett CRUNCH Series – Summer 2024

CRUNCH is The Bartlett’s new research-driven and practice-led seminar series, curated by the school’s Co-Directors of Public Programming, Albert Brenchat-Aguilar and Déborah López Lobato. 

This summer, the school is delighted to welcome international experts and industry leaders to share their unique insights, interrogating and challenging the built environment through a variety of social, political, cultural, ecological and economic lenses.

Each seminar will explore the theme for this year’s CRUNCH series, ‘Resource’, responding to global challenges including mental health and wellbeing and the migration crisis. A drinks reception will follow each event.
