This will be the plan for tommmorw!

Make sure you will be in before 10am for a prompt start to the talk by Peny.

Paul Iddon who is the Vice-President of Manchester Architects will be coming in on Thursday morning to speak to us about how the industry is planning to react to the current situation and possible future actions in post Brexit time.

We start with mind mapping what concerns us the most about Brexit to further narrow down our focus of the debate topic. This could be anything from empolyability, qualification and project varieties etc in the future.

We had Rob Hyde coming in just before lunch to talk to us about Brexit and architecture. A lot of information to be digested concerning education, employability and the future of us as the next generation of architects.

We will be compiling what we have learnt from this mini lecture from Rob to diagrams and poster in the next couple of days.

We had a good session this morning sharing everyone's individual insight into Brexit. We are now researching into the overview picture in how Brexit will affect the architecture industry in 4 different scenarios - Hard, Soft, No-deal and Chequers.

Detail breakdown of Day1 activities. See you all at 10am tomorrow at CH711.

Please remember to bring your laptops.

Finalized session plan for week 2!

A more detail breakdown of everyday activities will follow soon.

Learning how to communicate visually is an important part of architecture. We will be using adobe suite software to design and put together a series of posters.

During the 2 weeks, we will be doing a lot of research and condensing huge amount of information into a publication. We will show you how to do it in a quick and effective way. We will also be showing you how to reference these information correctly.

On Thursday, we will be visiting the special collection to get inspiration from the poster collection in preparation to our design competition.

Special Collections hold two major twentieth century collections, totalling some 4,200 posters between them.

The Philip Granville Collection of some 1,200 posters was bequeathed to the Library in 2000.

The second collection of about 3,000 posters covers British posters mainly from the 1970s to date.

As architects, we are concerned about the environment. Green architecture or sustainable architecture is getting more and more popular. However, many of the environmental standards are set on EU standards, what does it means after Brexit. We are happy to have Angela to share her views and the work she has been doing on the topic.

Peny is a 6th year student in the MSA. We are happy to have her to share her research on Brexit and her perspective as a EU student.

We are happy to have Rob Hyde to offer his insight on Brexit from an educational perspective and also explain what the challenges and opportunities are in the future.

All confirmed! The debate is happening, invite your friends and colleagues who are concerned about the future of the field. Come along to find out different views and share your opinion

Useful talk tonight by Dr Veronika Koller on analysing the language used especially by the politicians of the UK and those in European. Interesting fact - the UK has had a referendum back in 1975, only 2 years after admitted to the EEC (European Economic Community)

In week 2, the main event will be hosting a 'question time' based debate, welcoming students, tutors and partitioners to join us in discussing Brexit. We will also be producing a publication/report on the findings we have learnt during the 2 intensive events weeks as a feedback to our collaborator from RIBA NW.

The main objective in week 1 will be carrying out research onto Brexit upon the impact on the construction industry to extend our existing knowledge on the topic in preparation to the debate, including guest speaker coming in to offer his own insight upon Brexit. We will also be preparing you to become an expert on a formal debate.

We sat down today looking through policy documents and guildelines released by RIBA to better understand the current situation and how RIBA plans to deal with Brexit.

Brexit is one of the most talked about topics in recent years. The UK will officially leave the EU on the 29th March 2019. There lies a lot of uncertainties and unforeseeable future for the country. It is especially interesting for the architectural sector where it heavily relies on foreign professionals. Event F provides the perfect platform for students to debate how the industry will be affected by Brexit from educational and professional point of view.
