Technical Studies Lecture Series is back!
During the first semester the School of Architecture and Cities hosts the Thursday evening ‘Technical Studies’ lecture series to highlight new developments in the fields of architecture, engineering and environmental design. The series attempts to capture a contemporary philosophy of architecture and technology and introduce students to current and future trends in the development and understanding of architecture. This years talks include, a glass skyscraper in Southwark, a new ‘rusty’ steel footbridge in Chiswick, self-build housing in South London and a brand new type of ‘deployable’ structure.
The series starts with Jason Flanagan (Flanagan Lawrence Architects) talking about the importance of sound and acoustics in the design of new performative architecture.
