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.

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.

Risk is everywhere: politicians talks about it on the news, we assess it during business meetings, our homes have long been deemed a source of risk, we consider it when planning our holidays, and even our personalities are defined based on our proclivity to risk. Constantly faced with the inherent instability of our social, economic and natural orders, the anxiety about potential risks we all face is permeating our everyday life.
In the words of sociologist Ulrich Beck, we are living in a risk society, one marked by the need to ‘prevent, minimise, dramatise or channel risks and hazards systematically produced as part of modernisation’. What does this constant risk talk really mean? How do we measure risk? Why is it important to take risks and bad to be risk averse, or the other way around? In particular, what does this mean for architectural profession? How do architects generate, control or minimise risk? What types of risk do they face? Is architecture itself at risk? In this 3-part series of talks, the Museum of Architecture explores the intersection of architecture and risk through economic, social, cultural and environmental viewpoints. Our thematic events are 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. Recruiting
MoA is recruiting volunteers to assist with exhibitions and events.
