Session 1: 27 September 2018
Session 2: 4 October 2018 Time: 6.30-8.30pm Venue: Build Studios, 203 Westminster Bridge Road, SE1 7FP London Price: £125 + VAT, concessions 75 + VAT Lecturer: Rob Fiehn PR for architects is a two-part workshop about public relations in the built environment and how good communication can serve the business of architecture. These key skills are not often taught in architectural schools and so practitioners end up trying to figure things out for themselves, which can leave projects without a home in a competitive media landscape. Bad PR can also lead to problems with client relations and even develop unwanted reputations that can take years to undo. This talk is kindly hosted by Build Studios.

Session two: 18 October 2018 Time: 6.30 - 8.30pm Venue: Build Studios, 203 Westminster Bridge Road, London SE1 7FR Price: £125 + VAT, concessions £75 + VAT Lecturer: Sue Austin, Sue Austin Consulting During periods of uncertain demand or rapid growth, maintaining a healthy cash flow and turning a profit can be particularly challenging. Managing finances is a crucial component of running a successful architectural practice, yet it is a much misunderstood and over looked area of business. Participants of this practical and interactive workshop will get a better understanding of their financial accounts and tips on how to instil the disciplines and measures to increase practice profitability. This talk is kindly hosted by Build Studios.

This is your opportunity to get some insight into the what, why and how, so that you can save time and money and bid successfully. You’ll get some tips on how to carry out an effective assessment of the opportunity, saving you countless days of wasted time and resources by not bidding on the wrong projects. You’ll also get a good understanding of what’s going on behind the scenes, see how to structure effective responses to get the maximum points and minimise your reliance on being the cheapest bidder. This talk is kindly hosted by Build Studios.

On the line: Crisis Control
Date: 15 October 2018
Time: 6.30-8.30pm Venue: Future Cities Catapult, 1 Sekforde Street, London EC1R 0BE Free to book As our societies are facing ever greater threats, how are architects tackling risk? From extensive migration, environmental challenges and political and economic instability, there is a pressing need for architects and designers to respond to risk. This talk will discuss how architects are tackling the crises our societies are facing, asking whether crisis control can also generate new perspectives, stimulate innovation and critical thinking in architecture and design. Implicitly, this talk aims to question how we evaluate risk, what types of risk might be deemed welcome and how moments of great crises can sometimes result in positive outcomes for society. This talk is kindly hosted by Future Cities Catapult at the Urban Innovation Centre. |
The Museum of Architecture has worked with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the North Kensington community of artists to commission this year’s edition of the Portobello Pavilion that will open to the public during London Design Festival in September. Now in its fourth year, the Portobello Pavilion is a temporary structure designed for Powis Square in Notting Hill to house arts activities for the local community. Conceived as an informal, pop-up space, the purpose of the pavilion is to offer a space for dialogue between groups of people who do not normally have the opportunity to meet with or collaborate with practical artists.
Following a design charrette the practice ArchitectureDoingPlace was appointed to design the pavilion, which will open on 7 September 2018. The pavilion is generously supported by Finsa. PARTNER EVENTS
The Conscious Cities Festival gathers those interested in the creation of human-centred environments. Research and practice using the conscious cities approach explores how architecture and urban design can better consider and respond to human needs through science informed design, data analysis and new technology.
This year’s festival looks at the key factors in creating a better built environment. The events over 5 days will focus on Architecture, Urban Design, City Tech, Behavioural Science, and Property. For more information see here Recruiting
