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.

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.

On the Line: Risky Business
Date: 17 September 2018
Time: 6.30-8.30pm Venue: Future Cities Catapult, 1 Sekforde Street, London EC1R 0BE Speakers: James Soane, Director, Project Orange Chloë Phelps, Head of Design, Brick by Brick Dr Emma Street, Associate Professor, University of Reading Dr Janice Morphet, Visiting Professor, the Bartlett How do architects generate risk? Is environmental, social or economic risk an essential byproduct of architectural processes and production? The talk will explore to what extent does architecture participate in, explicitly or implicitly, process and practices that generate risk. Some of these may include: financial speculation, environmental crises, global insecurity and cyber threats, or erosion of the public sphere. Starting from the wider framework of contemporary risk society, the first talk in this series will explore how risk is generated through the process of design and how architects can respond to the inequalities and challenges that their work inevitably produces. 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. Recruiting
MoA is recruiting volunteers to assist with exhibitions and events.
