IDEAS FOR CIVIC ACTION at TATE MODERN

21 July 2018

This one-day symposium at Tate Exchange, hosted as part of the School of Civic Action by public works, explored ways to engage critically with our urban environment. Throughout three sessions participants discussed spaces and methods proposed to foster meaningful relations between people and the places where they live.

Ideas for Civic Action, brought together practitioners, researchers and community groups who have worked connecting people with their surroundings in order to share practices and discuss further action. The event showcased initiatives where architects have been aware of the social and political implications of their work, aiming to encourage a more conscious way of practice which serves community interests. 

URBAN LEARNING at THE BARTLETT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

May 2018

One day symposium at UCL that discussed the past, present and future of ‘urban rooms’ and ‘civic schools’ in the UK to inform the vision for UCL’s Urban Room at its new campus in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford. This event brought together practitioners and thinkers of different generations who have worked engaging people with their surroundings in order to discuss further action. It uncovered their history, discussed its current iterations and explored future possibilities.

The symposium was accompanied by a keynote lecture by Christine Gaspar, director of the Centre for Urban Pedaagogy New York, and an exhibition of current proposals in Britain and archives of original material from past urban rooms in the UK.

SPATIAL ENGAGEMENT NETWORK  

2017-2018

The Spatial Engagement Network sought to connect researchers and practitioners interested in pedagogy, places and politics across University College London and beyond. Based at the Bartlett School of Architecture, it offered sessions to promote socially and politically aware research and practice in architecture and other built environment professions. Founded and coordinated by Sol Perez Martinez, the network supports researchers at the crossroads between environment, civic engagement and education creating a space to discuss the role of design in learning and politics, and vice-versa. The Spatial Engagement Network was an initiative funded by The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, UCL.
