The design of a building always involves numerous stakeholders who ultimately contribute in shaping the experience of spaces and places. Therefore, architects need to build positive working relationships with engineers, lighting designers, project managers or suppliers, in order to ensure the positive outcome of a project. Part of MoA’s Working With series of talks, this event will explore the synergy between the architect and the lighting designer, by looking at the example of Maggie’s Yorkshire designed by Heatherwick Studio.

Aerial Futures: Leading Edge is lively, provocative and interdisciplinary symposium examining the architecture, technologies and cultures of the contemporary airport. Curated by PLANE—SITE and free to attend, this two-day event understands the airport as a choreographed topography of hypermobility, information and cultures, defining how we travel, trade and connect with each other. It marks the threshold between land and sky, as well as sovereign territories. The airport — what the philosopher Giorgio Agamben describes as a ‘zone of exception’ where the ordinary rules no longer apply — is where the definiteive issues of the 21st century play out.
Featuring Hernan Diaz Alonso Director of SciArc; Benjamin Ball of Ball & Nogues; Mario Diaz, director of the Houston Department of Aviation; Curt Fentress Principal of Fentress Architects; architectural critic Christopher Hawthorne of the Los Angeles Times, Cynthia Nikitin of Projects for Public Spaces, Blake Scholl of Boom Supersonic (keynote speaker); Bruce Upbin of Hyperloop One.

Come and Make a Dolls’ House in a Shoebox, London, UK
30 Sep
Big Draw Workshop in the Doodle Bar
60 Druid Street London SE1 2EZ
Saturday 30 September 12-5 pm
Part of the BIG DRAW Festival
related architecture event – see also Architecture, Dreams, Miniature and Making
The Giant Dolls’ House project is an ongoing collaborative arts project that engages local communities. The project encourages people to think about the importance of home and community through making dolls’ houses. The dolls’ houses are collated onto a black canvas and linked with ropes and ramps and ladders to form a miniature community.
We are taking part in The Big Draw, the world’s largest drawing festival. This year’s theme is ‘Living Lines’. Drawing can be used to develop the design of the dolls’ house, to decorate the dolls’ house and to document the dolls’ house installation. The workshop will be led by Eilidh Watson and some Dolls’ Houses for this exhibition have been made by first Year Students from UAL, Chelsea College of Arts.
The preview will start with a lecture evening with Will Alsop OBE RA, well known British architect and former Stirling price Winner, Angela Ford, model maker and educator, and Catja de Haas, founder of the Giant Dolls’ House Project.
The events are free, but we ask participants for a contribution for the Housing and Homelessness Charity Shelter.
The Giant Dolls’ House is the result of ongoing research by Catja de Haas into the use of dolls’ houses and imagination to address real issues and bring about change. The project has had several installations since its beginning in October 2014 in TESTBED1. It exhibited at Shelter headquarters as part of LFA2015; the Wimbledon Windmill; 80 The Gallery in Richmond; AUB, Bournemouth department of architecture; UAL Chelsea College of Arts; Raynes Park School (Part of a Fun Palace Event); Maestro Arts gallery, LFA2016 ; Critical Practice; JW3, LFA2017; AUD, Dubai; thejamjar in Dubai (part of al Quoz arts festival). At the end of October 20-28, the project will head to Edenton, North Carolina, to create a dolls’ house installation in the ‘Peanut Factory’, an artist retreat and community centre with local schools and community groups.
Please contact Catja de Haas for more information on the project: +447803627426. For more information on the venue email Jasmin Ford: [email protected]

Successful architectural practices develop and manage client relationships proactively. Failure to properly set and deliver on client expectations can result in unhappy clients, a damaged reputation to the individual and practice, and lower project profitability. Exceeding expectations can set your practice apart from others and increase the likelihood clients will choose you for their next project or refer your practice to their colleagues. Delivering consistency requires planning, processes, and great talent with strong project management and people skills.

Undervalued: the Economics of Architecture, MoA, London, UK
18 Sep
The Museum of Architecture is pleased to announce its new thematic series of talks titled Undervalued: the Economics of Architecture. The talk series follows the news of a recent report published by the GLA that states that London’s architecture sector contributes £1.7 billion to the UK economy each year. And yet, architects across the country feel their work is often undervalued by clients, local and central governments, and the society at large.
How can architects advocate for a broader recognition of their work and the value that good design brings to society? An important first step is to understand the economic impact underpinning the contemporary built environment industry. The Museum of Architecture will contribute to recent calls to rethink the economic models that drive today’s built environment industry with five thematic events that will seek to outline the intrinsic value of the profession.
An outline of the first talk can be found below, together with a list of all the events in the series. A 20% discount is available for seasonal tickets for all 5 events. We look forward to seeing you this Autumn.
Essential Economics: Architecture within Global Economic Trends
Date: 18 September 2017
Time: 6.30-8.30pm
Venue: Future Cities Catapult
Speakers: Mark Wingham, Economist, GLA
Tamsie Thomson, Director, LFA
Other speakers to be announced
Architecture does not operate outside of national, regional or global economies – it is firmly embedded within economic processes, actively contributing to their growth and reacting in times of crisis. What is the economic impact of architecture and the built environment today? What is the value that good architecture can deliver, and how can it be measured? Equally, how do broader economic trends impact how architecture is delivered? This talk will break down the economic impact of architecture to help architects understand the value of their work within the broader context of globalised exchanges of labour, time, knowledge and capital.

Platform for Architecture + Research / PAR, Los Angeles
Opening: Friday, 8 September 2017, 6:30 pm
Exhibition: 9 September – 19 October 2017
Location: Aedes Architecture Forum, Christinenstr. 18-19, 10119 Berlin
Hours: Tuesday – Friday 11 am – 6:30 pm, Sunday – Monday 1 – 5 pm
The exhibition presents the work of American architects Platform for Architecture + Research / PAR, founded by Jennifer Marmon in Los Angeles. Questioning the role and limits of architecture today, Marmon, together with her collective team, are part of a new generation of architects exploring universal topics as a means to expand their discipline in new ways. The installation illustrates the various strategies used by the office to develop their specific design approach that aims to establish a dialogue with people as well as the local conditions to result in their individual mode of architectural expression.
The office ‘Platform for Architecture + Research / PAR’ was established in 2003. They have since been awarded several prizes, including the Presidential Emerging Practice Award from the American Institute of Architects Los Angeles in 2014, an International Architecture Award in 2014, and American Architecture Awards in 2013 and 2016. The work of the office has been featured in exhibitions at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the US National Building Museum, the New York Center for Architecture, and the European Center for Architecture.
Providing an insight into their architectural universe, the exhibition presents buildings, competition entries and urban studies including the Wilshire Tower in Los Angeles/US, the AD18 Hotel in Los Angeles/US, the Taichung Cultural Center in Taichung/Taiwan, the Guggenheim Museum in Helsinki/Finland, the Bauhaus Art Museum in Dessau/Germany, the Lima Art Museum in Lima/Peru, as well as the Pavilion House, the Stacked House, and the View House all located in Los Angeles/US among others.
The featured projects range in scale from small houses to museum concepts. Drawings, models, and images reveal the diagrammatic thinking, exploration of form and connections to the urban fabric that link PAR’s projects. With its idea of a network of relationships, the exhibition reflects the essential architectural elements of organization, material and form that influence the offices work to benefit living conditions, urban identity and the integration of the local surroundings with their respective city.

Hours: Tue–Fri 11am–6:30pm, Sun–Mon 1–5pm
Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) is an interdisciplinary design studio that integrates architecture, the visual arts, and the performing arts. Founded in 1979, the New York City-based practice established its identity through self-generated, theoretical art installations before reaching international prominence through projects such as the renovation and expansion of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York, and the High Line, an urban park built on an abandoned elevated railway trestle on Manhattan’s west side. Today, DS+R is led by four partners who collaborate on the design of each project with a staff of 100 architects, artists, researchers, and writers. DS+R is currently engaged in numerous projects across the world: the 34-acre Zaryadye Park adjacent to the Kremlin in Moscow; the Museum of Image & Sound on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, and The Juilliard School’s first overseas campus in Tianjin, China.
As DS+R’s first exhibition in Berlin, ’Space On Demand’ presents a rare preview of the studio’s methodology and innerworkings through the close examination of a single project, still under construction: The Shed. Conceived and designed by DS+R, in collaboration with Rockwell Group, and led by Founding Artistic Director and CEO Alex Poots, The Shed will be New York’s first multi-arts center designed to commission, produce, and present all types of performing arts, visual arts, and popular culture. This dynamic snapshot of the project‘s ongoing design process represents the studio’s most adventurous approach to rethinking cultural institutions. ’Space On Demand’ will feature physical artifacts, technical documentation, and ephemera key to realizing this project.
Sited on the west side of Manhattan along the High Line at 30th Street, The Shed comprises an eight-level base structure and a telescoping outer shell. The base building holds two expansive, column-free galleries; a 500-seat black-box theater that can be subdivided into even more intimate spaces; event and rehearsal space; and a creative lab that will be provided free to early-career local artists. The telescoping outer shell can be deployed over the adjoining plaza to create a light-, sound-, and temperature-controlled hall that can serve an infinite variety of artists’ needs and uses, including as a theater seating 1,250 people or a standing audience of up to 3,000 people. Its ceiling acts as a theatrical deck, allowing for rigging across the entire volume of space above performers and audiences, as well as light and sound control. When the shell is nested over the base building, the plaza can be used as outdoor space and for programming. With references to Cedric Price’s unbuilt, ’anti-building’ of the 1960s, the Fun Palace, The Shed is infinitely flexible. It can expand or contract to accommodate the needs of a vast range of performance, visual arts, events and multidisciplinary work. The building can physically change at will to support artists’ visions and enable collaborations across disciplines under one roof.
DS+R founding partner, Elizabeth Diller commented: “The opportunity to design a ground-up building for the arts forced the question, what will art look like in the next 10 years? 20 years, and beyond? The answer was that we simply could not know. All that we could be certain of was that there would always be a need for conditioned space of different heights and sizes, a need for structural loading capacity, and a need for electrical power. The solution was, an architecture of infrastructure.”
DS+R collaborator, David Rockwell of Rockwell Group, added: “We questioned how we could build in flexibility that is liberating and not constraining to the building’s function and would achieve the best possible conditions for the creation of new work. We found a way to create a center for the arts that is as useful for performing artists as it is for visual artists and popular artists.”
Upon completion in 2019, The Shed will further expand DS+R’s interdisciplinary body of cultural work, operating from all sides of the gallery and museum wall. As artists and curators, the studio has completed over four dozen installation works including Blur, a pavilion of fog built for the Swiss Expo on Lake Neuchâtel; ’Liquid Antiquity’ at the Benaki Museum in Athens; ’Off the Cuff’, at Palazzo Litta during Milan Design Week; ’EXIT’ at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, an immersive installation using data visualization on global migration; ’The Art of Scent’ at the Museum of Art & Design, the first exhibition on the history of olfactory art; ’Charles James: Beyond Fashion’ at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, an account of the couturier using 3D imaging and robotics; and ’Pierre Chareau: Modern Architecture and Design’ at the Jewish Museum using VR. As architects, the studio’s body of cultural work includes the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston and The Broad, a museum in Los Angeles. This year, DS+R completed the first phase of the Museum of Modern Art renovation and expansion in New York. The studio is currently working on ’The Mile-Long Opera’ to be staged on the High Line in New York.

Space On Demand
New York’s first multi-arts center, ’The Shed’, by Diller Scofidio + Renfro with Rockwell Group
Time: Fri, 8 September 2017, 5pm
Location: ANCB The Aedes Metropolitan Laboratory, Christinenstr. 18-19, 10119 Berlin
Discussion with
Elizabeth Diller, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, New York
Chris Dercon, Volksbühne, Berlin
While in the entire world museums, art centres and cultural clusters growing countless for various reasons and expectations, often new curatorial concepts are rare reflecting the new challenges, opportunities and demands of changing societies and economic conditions of the 21st century. ’The Shed’ can be read on multiple levels and translates the physical structure into an urban and new cultural actor to commission, produce, and present all types of performing arts, visual arts, and popular culture.
Elizabeth Diller and Chris Dercon will discuss approaches to uncover a new educational and cultural tracery or networks, whose surface can represent a resilient base for a democratic society of sufficient collective strength to resist/question branding and privatization of art, culture and education or political influenced takeover.

6:30pm–7:30pm : Reception
Keynote: “Material matters: Durability, obsolescence, adaptability and the embodied impacts of the building shell”
How long should a building last? How about the façade system? What are the impacts of longevity in buildings? What occurs faster in buildings, deterioration or obsolescence? What roles do innovation and complexity play in providing sustainable outcomes? This interactive discussion addresses these questions and more to provocative affect, providing something of a reality check on the current state of sustainability in contemporary architecture, and pointing to future trajectories of relevant exploration.
Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop, Buffalo, NY, USA
Aug 14 – 17
Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop Furthers Advancements in High Performance Facades
Industry experts gather to address terra cotta’s potential in advanced manufacturing of bioclimatic structures and environments.
Architects, engineers and ceramic artists from across the country and Europe are coming to Buffalo, New York to attend the second annual Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop (ACAW) being held Monday, August 14 through Thursday, August 17. Boston Valley Terra Cotta and the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning present the weeklong event that combines the models of academic research, artistic experimentation and industry expertise to explore innovative façade solutions and develop large-scale applications for ceramic components. The agenda includes introduction to digital design and traditional terra cotta manufacturing techniques, architectural tours and daily lectures to stimulate the imagination on the potential of terra cotta.
Building upon last year’s bioclimatic focus, ACAW 2017 will explore designs that utilize ceramic’s material properties to consider environmental factors like light, heat, cold, wind and precipitation. Representatives from multinational engineering firms AECOM and Walter P. Moore, the architectural and design practice Morphosis, and educators from the UB Department of Architecture and Alfred University College will lead four teams to strategize ways to develop sustainable micro climates in and around buildings and address issues like energy mitigation, hybrid structural systems and high performance façade systems for shading, snow collecting, heat harvesting and air circulation. Assisted by experts from terra cotta manufacturers Boston Valley Terra Cotta, the participants will learn, create and get their hands dirty with industrial scale forming methods to develop designs and prototypes in response to the design challenge.
“While many architects design with industrially-produced ceramic components, they may have little material understanding of clay, and most artists and designers trained in ceramics may have few opportunities to explore the medium at a scale beyond the object,” says Bill Pottle, Director of Business Development at Boston Valley Terra Cotta. He added, “By attending the ACAWorkshop, designers will have the opportunity to collaborate and deepen their understanding of and experience with the potential for terra cotta in the architectural setting.”
The Architectural Ceramic Assemblies Workshop is jointly housed between the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning’s Hayes Hall and the production facilities of Boston Valley Terra Cotta in Orchard Park, NY with events in some of Buffalo’s most significant historical locations including Frank Lloyd Wright’s Darwin Martin House and the recently renovated H.H. Richardson Complex. Returning speakers include Dr. William Carty, the John F. McMahon Professor and Chair of Ceramic Engineering at Alfred University and Neil Forrest, the internationally exhibiting ceramic artist and professor at NSCAD University (Nova Scotia College of Art and Design). Thursday’s final presentation of the team’s solutions at the Hotel Henry is open to architectural and ceramic professionals and will be followed by a keynote address and reception. Mic Patterson, Director of Strategic Development at Shuco USA, is the keynote speaker. His address, entitled “Material matters: Durability, obsolescence, adaptability and the embodied impacts of the building shell” will begin at 5:30pm.

Architecture and Citizenship event, London, England, UK
10 Jul 2017
The final event in the Architecture and Citizenship season – a participatory discussion about designing a code of ethics for architecture. This Museum of Architecture talk will draw from practical challenges that architects face in their everyday practice to discuss what a code of ethics for architecture should entail. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the London Fire Relief Fund.
Designing a Code of Ethics for Architecture
Date: 10 July 2017
Time: 6.30-8.30pm
Venue: Future Cities Catapult
Price: £15, £12 concessions
Panellists: Harriet Harriss, Senior Tutor, Royal College of Art
Alastair Parvin, Director, WikiHouse Foundation
Kyle Buchanan, Director, Archio
Gemma Ginty, Urban Futures Lead, Future Cities Catapult
In the context of today’s political, cultural and social challenges, should architecture have a code of ethics? As a conclusion of the year-long programming on Architecture and Citizenship, MoA is inviting architects, designers and built environment professionals to join a participatory session on designing a code of ethics for architecture.
While RIBA’s Code of Professional Conduct defines the roles and responsibilities of architects in professional practice, this session will seek to broaden the discussion to examine architects’ role in the wider world. What responsibility do architects have in relation to broader social challenges? Should architects be more closely involved in politics? What is architects’ social responsibility? How can we define morality in relation to architecture? What constitutes ethical practice? Join this architecture event to set out the values that you think should underpin and guide the industry today.
This architectural event is kindly hosted by Future Cities Catapult.
Museum of Architecture events are kindly hosted by Build Studios, Future Cities Catapult and the Building Centre.

SISU symposium 2017 “Naked Space”
7th, 8th June in Lucerne (Switzerland) and in Tallinn (Estonia)
Former factory buildings are transformed into housing. An old garage becomes a restaurant with a cinema and an exhibition space. A former indoor swimming pool and a heating plant are transformed into revitalised cultural centres. What becomes of space when it is stripped to its bareness, reduced to its naked core and opened up to new possibilities?
The SISU 2017 symposium will focus on re-use of interior space and community-driven redesign processes. The symposium will shed light on the question, how interior architecture is able to create an identity for naked space while ‘re-dressing’ it, and how this can contribute new value to the whole neighbourhood. What are our needs today and how does it influence the re-purposing process? How can we investigate the space inside the buildings of the past?
SISU will approach these questions across different disciplines including interior architects/designers, architects, filmmakers, academics and students from different cultures for the first time in parallel in Switzerland and in Estonia.
The Estonian Association of Interior Architects, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Art / School of Engineering and Architecture, the Estonian Academy of Arts / Department of Interior Architecture and the Association of Swiss Interior Architects have the honour of inviting You to the 4th International Interior Architecture Symposium SISU “Naked Space” on 7th and 8th June 2017 at Neubad, Luzerne, Switzerland and/or simultaneously to a Mobile classroom created by the students of the Department of Interior Architecture of the EAA in Tallinn, Estonia.
Save the dates and join us in this multicultural exploration of naked space!
The programme will soon be open at http://sisu.esl.ee

MoA Academy course, London, UK
Performance Benchmarks for Architects
Date: 8 June 2017
Time: 6.30-8.30pm
Venue: Build Studios, Waterloo
Price: £75 + VAT, concessions £45 + VAT
Lecturer: Rowley Mossop, Innovia
How do you determine – and improve – your practice’s value and potential? Understanding your practice’s performance in relation to peers helps you identify opportunities to minimize risk, create value, and grow.
Architectural practices can use benchmarking to improve firm performance, increase project profitability, and develop capabilities for growth. Practice leaders and owners need to establish systems for collecting and organizing information that helps them make strategic decisions on managing talent, finances, operations, and business development. Assessing their practices against benchmarks can help practice owners and leaders build and sustain their firm’s value.
Rowley Mossop returns to the Museum of Architecture to facilitate this highly interactive workshop. Using a case-based approach, participants will learn the important benchmarks that can inform their strategy and improve their practice’s creative and financial performance.
MoA events are kindly hosted by Future Cities Catapult and Build Studios.

Architecture and Citizenship – Beyond Buildings:
What is the role of architecture in the sharing economy?
Date: 10 April 2017
Time: 6.30-8.30pm
Location: Future Cities Catapult
Speakers: Elizabeth Adams, Director, Adams & Sutherland
James Parkinson, Regeneration Officer, GLA
Gemma Ginty, Urban Futures Lead, Future Cities Catapult
Catherine Pease, Director, vPPR Architects
MoA’s thematic programming on Architecture and Citizenship explores the relationship between politics and the built environment with the aim of helping architects become active agents of social change.
A surge of digital services, such as AirBnb, Uber and the like, are increasingly changing the way we experience urban centres. In addition, with the rise of digital tools, services that were often carried out by governments are being relegated to private entities. Based on individualistic ‘user pays’ philosophy, such services are increasingly shifting the way our built environment is used, shaped and perceived. What is the role of architecture in this context? This talk will discuss whether and how an approach to architecture ‘beyond buildings’ can unveil a new potential for civic engagement within the context of the sharing economy.
IAHmilan17 International Architecture Holiday, Milan, Italy
30 March – 4 April 2017
The workshop will focus on the design of a series of interventions on the external and internal spaces, that will give new visions and fresh ideas to the renewal process already started on the property with the primary aim of spreading the feeling of Casa Chiaravalle as a public space among the community of the city. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the “Festival dei Beni Confiscati” (assets seized from mafia festival) and during the period of “Salone del Mobile 2017”.
The innovative aspect of this initiative is the breaking of classical learning processes simultaneously pointing to several factors: integration and cultural exchanges between students from around the world within a single working environment; discover the secret corners of the city; experience first real project situations in close contact with tutors and professionals; experience real competition through an internal competition and fun, assured by the atmosphere and continuous organization of events, parties and initiatives.
Workshop entries will begin 16 January 2017 and will end 20 March 2017.

Armand Grüntuch in conversation with Jacques Ferrier
Exhibition: March 17 – April 29, 2017
Tuesday – Friday 2 – 7 pm
Saturday 12 – 6 pm
Jacques Ferrier has developed a highly individual approach to architecture, rejecting the strictly formalist approach of the Modernists and instead embracing technology to improve relationship between people and their environment. Central to Ferrier’s work is the idea of the sensual city – a desire that all buildings should respond and contribute to the sensory experiences that make us human. In 2010 Jacques Ferrier and Pauline Marchetti founded Sensual City Studio, a research and creative laboratory dedicated to new proposals for a humanist and pleasurable metropolitan life.

Data + Senses
The cross-over between the digital and the physical is being increasingly addressed in design disciplines, architecture, arts and urban studies. Artists and designers increasingly make use of hard data to interpret the world and/or create meaningful and sensuous environments or design objects. Architects attempt to measure neurophysiological data to understand better the human experience in spaces. Designers script parametric processes to translate data into responsive, meaningful and/or aesthetically intriguing installations. Scientists and architects/ artists/ designers collaborate to visualise data in new and creative ways so as to trigger and reveal further connections, interpretations and readings.
Practices such as the above attempt to break down the dichotomy between data and the sensuous (or else the digital and the physical). They translate elusive, ephemeral and intangible aspects of a place into solid data. In other instances the solid data are interpreted and represented in a way so as to be perceived by the different senses and/or experienced in a different manner.
In this context, methods and conceptual frameworks of different disciplines need to engage in a dialogue; and through these cross-disciplinary practices, new strategies and processes emerge.
This publication aims to present collaborative projects, where methods from more than one discipline are involved. This publication also addresses how collaborators from different disciplines can work together to deal with current design and social issues.
Key themes
Architecture and Neuroscience/ Neurophysiology
How does the mapping of the brain activity help designers gain a better understanding of human experience in different spaces? Could the mapping of the human experience in certain environments (through new technologies and methods) inform the design of a place? Could the use of EEG (Electroencephalography), eye-tracking and other neurological or physiological data inform our understanding of human experience? Could physiological data be used in parallel to other methods – such as observation and interviews – to assess human comfort or levels of stress in different environments?
Keeling, Roesch and Clements-Croome’s study, for example, examines how the use of wearable sensors for the assessment of multisensory comfort. The measurements of skin conductivity and heart rate of the participants are analysed in relationship to the temperature, light level, sound and other parameters of the physical environment, in an attempt to assess the above correlations. The study of Brorson Fich et al examines the relationship between the ’openness’ of a space and the level of stress. The study uses a virtual simulation of different types of spaces and monitors the participants’ levels of the immune regulatory stress hormone cortisol while they perform certain tasks. The study of Junkner and Nollen analyses the human experience in gardens of different typologies, based on the participants’ gaze. Through the monitoring of the gaze, with a portable eye-tracking device, the researchers attempt to gain a better understanding of the relationship between movement, experience, and the layout of an outdoors landscape.
Digital and Physical: Data and Experience
Recent research projects map and use different types of data to analyse, understand and represent the dynamics of urban space. Data such as hash-tag keywords, locations with geotagged photos, demographics, are being represented through visualisations which allow for a better understanding, are more appealing and immersive, allow for interpretations and reveal connections that would otherwise remain uncovered.
Etcoff and Liu’s project, for example, analyses the ‘mood of the city’ through a linguistic analysis of a large number of data; of twitted words associated with different types of mood. The patterns observed reveal places and times – moments of the day, of the week, or of the year – where a certain range of emotions appears to peak. Ahmadpour and Heath’s work examines how the use of digital GPS navigation systems impacts upon the user’s experience and understanding of the city – as well as the subsequent impact of that for urban design. Ahmadpour and Heath compare how GPS users and physical map users experience and remember the same environment. Castellanos reflects upon the political and social implications of the creation, use, selection and analysis of certain types of (big) data. He questions what is and ‘what isn’t computed?’, and how ‘incomputable’ data are dealt with. He expresses his concern that significant information, which – however – is hard to compute, quantify or understand, is left out and is not visualised or studied. In this study, it is pointed out that certain topics of social relevance – politics, economic flows, poverty – whose analysis relies on narrative, images, stories, incur the risk of obsolescence – due to the non-quantifiable nature of the associated information.
The conference is organised by the University of East London (UEL) and led by Dr Anastasia Karandinou. The conference is supported by ARUP, RIBA and the Museum of Architecture.

Keynote Speakers:
Deborah Hauptmann is Professor and Chair of the Department of Architecture at Iowa State University, USA. Previous to this she was the Director of the Delft School of Design, an internationally recognized platform for research and advanced education.
Hauptmann’s research draws on a trans-disciplinary approach to architecture, which includes disciplines such as philosophy, cultural & media studies, the social sciences and the neurosciences. Her co-edited volume, Cognitive Architecture: From Biopolitics to Noopolitics: Architecture and Mind in the Age of Information and Communication (010 Publishers: Rotterdam, 2010), is an example of this approach. Other publications include: – ‘Northern Line’, co-authored with A. Radman, in Deleuze and Architecture, 2013; Forward to Writing and Seeing Architecture: Christian de Portzamparc and Philippe Sollers, 2008; The Body in Architecture (ed.) 2006. Hauptmann is a Bergson scholar, she is the English co-translator of his 1889 Latin thesis Quid Aristoteles de Loco Senserit / On Aristotle’s Conception of Place.
ABSTRACT:
Noo-Architecture: between culture and brain
The philosopher Henri Bergson, in Matter and Memory (1896) notes that philosophy traditionally works through dualist accounts: idealism-realism, internalism-externalism, etecetera; which inevitably equate to the classical mind-body problem. Bergson argues that the intersection of mind and matter is to be found in memory. Through his notion of durée he constructs a double movement between representation and experience. Deleuze refers to this as a ‘double progression’ in which duration, when applied to things, or rather ‘duration in things’ forces the question of space to be fundamentally reassessed: ‘space itself will need to be based in things, in relations between things and between durations.’
When thinking between data and the senses it is important to resist the tendency to imagine the digital as immaterial and the physical as material and that the cross-over between the two situates us in a dance, a pas de deux between body-sense and image-data; or, perhaps more logically, between body-image and sense-data. Translations created to break down the dichotomies between the two in order to either thicken our experience or expand our knowledge. In addressing transdisciplinary thinking this I will offer a brief account of another double movement in Bergson, that is between translation and rotation. The underpinnings of this account will be located in 19th century empirical psychology.
In Cognitive Architecture, we argued that if we are to intellectually and fully engage in matters of our contemporary world – populated as it is by technologies of information and communication, as well as the internet techno-bred minds of this generation – fields located in the so called soft sciences: whether cognitive or aesthetic philosophy, cultural, spatial, social or political theory, would need to expand their traditional reliance on thinking environment, ethos, politics & relations of power in terms of biological models (bios) to neurological models or system (nous). This developed from the belief that that the world of culture and cultural artifacts, whether material or immaterial, reconfigures brain. Culture being the matter that makes up the human sociocultural environment – music, architecture, art, design, media, and language, as well as political, social, and cultural institutions. Within a neuroscience perspective it is can be seen much more straightforwardly: environment-induced neural activation contours brain development in a manner that is essentially consistent with human-made environment. In this account, time has become the horizon on which the contours of perception, experience, memory, and sensation are traced. Time-technologies as social machines reconstitute sensibilia through affective and intellectual processes, that is, between data and senses.
Prof Richard Coyne

Richard Coyne researches and teaches in information technology in practice, computer-aided design in architecture, the philosophy of information technology, digital media, and design theory. He inaugurated the MSc in Design and Digital Media, in which he also teaches. Richard is Academic Director of the MSc in Design and Digital Media, and Programme Director of the MSc by Research in Digital Media and Culture. Richard’s research is conducted within the Digital Media Design research group. He collaborates with John Lee, Martin Parker and a team of about 10 PhD students and research associates. Richard Coyne is author of several books on the implications of information technology and design with MIT Press and Routledge. His research has been supported by AHRC, EPSRC and SCRAN. Coyne’s research demonstrates the value of a broad interdisciplinary framework for examining the relationship between computing, design, and contemporary cultural theories. He is currently investigating the way we configure spaces through the use of pervasive mobile devices, such as smartphones, iPods and GPS. He is developing this theme through the sonic metaphor of tuning and phenomenological concepts of mood. Coyne recently completed a book for the Routledge Thinkers for Architects series entitled Derrida for Architects, and is co-investigator on a major funded project on mobility and aging entitled Mobility, Mood and Place. Coyne is a member of the ARQ editorial board and was a member of the AHRC review panel Visual Arts and Media. Richard Coyne is animated by the cultural, social and spatial implications of computers and pervasive digital media. He enjoys architecture, writing, blogging, designing, philosophy, coding and media mashups.
Prof Jan Wiener
Jan Wiener is a Professor in the Psychology Department at Bournemouth University. Prior to coming to Bournemouth in 2009, he held principle investigator and post doc positions at the Cognitive Science Centre at Freiburg University (Germany), at CNRS in Paris (France), at Max Planck Institute in Tübingen (Germany) and at the Cognitive Neuroscience Department in Tübingen (Germany). He received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience in 2004 from the University of Tübingen (Germany). Jan Wiener’s research focuses primarily on navigation and wayfinding behaviour. Successful navigation is a fundamental behavioural problem that involves multiple cognitive components and complex information processing. In order to address these issues he makes use of different methods such as behavioural navigation experiments, virtual reality techniques, eye-tracking, and cognitive modelling. Recent research has focused on the relation of gaze and wayfinding behaviour, the effects of typical and atypical ageing on navigation skills, and the use of signage to improve the navigability of complex environments such as airports and hospitals. Jan Wiener leads the Wayfinding Lab, and he was recently awarded a major ESRC grant on ‘Demetia Friendly Architecture’. Other recent projects of his include: ‘Decreasing spatial disorientation in care-home settings: How psychology can guide the development of dementia friendly design guidelines’ and ‘Human place and response learning: navigation strategy selection, pupil size and gaze behaviour. He is one of the Editors of the book ‘Representing Space in Cognition’, published by Oxford University press. Jan Wiener’s work has been broadly published, and his papers have been included in numerous international journals such as the Journal of Neuroscience, Spatial Cognition & Computation,Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, and the Journal of Environmental Psychology.
Prof Constantinos Daskalakis
Constantinos Daskalakis is a Professor at MIT’s Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department and a member of CSAIL (MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory). Together with Paul Goldberg and Christos Papadimitriou, they received the 2008 Game Theory and Computer Science Prize for their paper ‘The Complexity of Computing a Nash Equilibrium’. Constantinos Daskalakis won the 2008 Doctoral Dissertation Award from ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery) for advancing our understanding of behaviour in complex networks of interacting individuals, such as those enabled and created by the Internet.
His dissertation, entitled “The Complexity of Nash Equilibria,” provides a novel, algorithmic perspective on Game Theory and the concept of the Nash equilibrium (“The Complexity of Computing a Nash Equilibrium”). His PhD research examined whether rational, self-interested individuals can arrive, through their interactions, at a state where no single one of them would be better off switching strategies unless others did so as well. Such a state is called a Nash equilibrium, in honour of John Nash, who showed that such a state always exists, and is traditionally used in Game Theory as a mathematical way of predicting the behaviour of rational, strategic individuals in situations of conflict.
Together with Paul Goldberg and Christos Papadimitriou they showed that in complex systems, Nash equilibrium can be computationally unachievable. This implies that it is not always relevant and/or justifiable to study the Nash equilibria of a system. Daskalakis became a tenured Professor at MIT in May 2015. Prior to joining MIT’s faculty he was a postdoctoral researcher in Jennifer Chayes’s group at Microsoft Research, New England, and before that he spent four years at UC Berkeley’s theory of computation group advised by Christos Papadimitriou.
Bidding for Success: Maintaining and repairing Places of Worship, Northern Ireland
31 March 2017
Gracehill Moravian Church, County Antrim, Northern Ireland
a Funding Workshop which we are helping organise in partnership with the Ulster Historic Churches Trust and the Heritage Lottery Fund. The workshop is being held at the Gracehill Moravian Church on 31 March and is targeted specifically at Northern Ireland churches of all denominations.
The event will explore the importance of maintenance and early diagnosis of potential issues as well as looking at what help is out there to help you stop minor problems becoming major ones. You will be amongst the first to find out about UHCT’s new Maintenance Pilot Scheme and learn about funding sources available to Places of Worship including NCT’s new grant programme targeted specifically at Places of Worship in Northern Ireland.
We will also review some recent innovations that make maintenance easier such as the use of drones. In the afternoon there is an optional session wth the Heritage Lottery Fund team where members of the local team will take you through their various grant programmes as well as giving you some “top tips” on what makes a strong bid to them.
