The Bartlett MRes Conference 2017

The conference aspires to showcase the diversity of Masters in Research courses across the Bartlett, UCL's Faculty of the Built Environment:

• MRes Spatial Data Science and Visualisation
• MRes Architectural Computation
• MRes Architecture and Digital Theory
• MRes Inter-disciplinary Urban Design
• MRes Energy Demand Studies
• MRes Science and Engineering in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology
• MRes Space Syntax: Architecture and Digital Cities

The programme consists of short presentations of the individual courses by Course Directors, followed by student presentations. This will give you a good overview of the research that our students undertake during their year at the Bartlett.

All MRes students are most warmly welcome, as well as members of staff and especially supervisors.

Please bring your Eventbrite ticket and your UCL ID to the event.
