ASF-UK Symposium: Designing In Uncertain Global Times

Save this picture!

Join ASF-UK for a one day symposium to explore how built environment practitioners can respond to emerging global challenges in cities.

DESCRIPTION:

With highly interactive sessions throughout the day, we will test and discuss different skills, approaches and knowledge that can ‘challenge practice’ in order to design in uncertain global times. The day will be a great opportunity to expand your knowledge of working in this sector, to network with others in this field and a chance to discover ways in which to engage with ASF-UK. The event will end with a reflection by practitioners involved in innovative forms of practice in the UK and around the world.
