Further information.

What is our critique of contemporary architecture and urbanism? And what would we put in its place?

At a time of political change and economic uncertainty, an architecture school must ensure that its work makes claims on the general situation. Faculty, students, and guests from outside Architecture and Spatial Design will participate in 12 events between October and January that aim to establish a robust critique of mainstream architecture and practice, and, through the work of the school, advocate other approaches.

The lecture on 28th October is called RIP IT UP/BIG MISTAKES #2: Belfast. ASD Studio 4 (Fran Balaam & Lara Gibson with Michael Corr), Robert Mull and David Brett will consider the politics of regeneration in Belfast.

Every lecture in the series will consist of a main presentation, responses from invited guests, and reaction from the audience. We hope it will be an opportunity for exchange of ideas within the school and beyond, and provide the chance to establish common ground for the school in terms of design, practice and discourse.
