In 2016, a collective of architects and artists formed with a common sense that our communities are frustrated and feel an ennui concerning issues around change to the built environment. We set out to address this cultural lack of confidence by investigating how to help empower our younger generations through engagement with a wide spectrum of relevant issues and concerns.
We have been in contact with relevant parties including: Education Scotland, A+D, HES, EWHT, Scottish Futures Trust, BEFS, Edinburgh CC and Play Scotland. Discussions are in progress to establish which guest speakers are available and relevant to the Summit.
The 2018 Summit will hear three independent perspectives and experiences before open discussion on the band new 'Archischools Manifesto' which will be presented on the evening. Speakers include:
Building as Pedagogy
Fiona MacDonald of Matt and Fiona Build
A Heritage Perspective
Brian Wilkinson, Historic Environment Scotland, Technical Outreach and Education
Missing in Architecture
Isobel Deakin, Miranda Webster and Katherine Li, Missing in Architecture
