The National Conference on Urban Design: Urban Design on the Edge

THURSDAY 21 – SATURDAY 23 OCTOBER 2010, LEEDS

Venue: Leeds Metropolitan University

Those who practice and promote urban design have long subscribed to the view that there is a close link between the quality of places and their economic success and viability. But what happens to places in an ‘age of austerity’? What role do those involved in shaping the urban environment have to play in an era of cuts in the public sector and when the private sector is being starved of funds for development? What can we learn from places and projects that have already shown us how to live - and thrive - in the current economic context? How should urban designers work with and alongside local communities and their elected representatives to help fulfil their potential?

Community Involvement Masterclass with Nick Wates

Enhance your community participations skills

26th October 2010

11th November 2010

14th December 2010

Local authorities, practices, property developers, landowners and community groups are increasingly involving local people in planning, design and development issues.

But what is the best way of involving people in the planning and design of their local areas? Are the benefits of community involvement being fully realised? And how do you choose between the bewildering range of approaches?

The RUDI one day masterclasses is engaging and enjoyable with a focus on interactive learning and ‘real life’ situations. Participants are encourage to raise debate and there are plenty of opportunities to learn from other attendees and hear about their situations.

Postmodernism Exhibition

Where: London, UK
When: Saturday, September 24, 2011- Sunday, January 08, 2012

The ideas of Postmodernism emerged first in architecture, and became hugely influential on everything from furniture to graphics. This exhibition will look at the popular side of Postmodernism, especially the music of the time: raves, New Wave, Hip-hop and graffiti art. With the help of the new design medium of the pop-promo video, the new Postmodern celebrities-like Grace Jones, Boy George and Madonna-became famous, most of all, for being famous. Their relationship to the media was more self-conscious, more ironic, and more artfully designed than the popular culture icons of any previous period.
