The Big Debate – Architecture versus People
Wednesday 6 September 2017
In a departure from our usual format, September will see the first SDS Big debate. With the help of a multidisciplinary panel we’ll be addressing the role of wayfinding consultancy within the built environment. We’ll be exploring whether it’s really needed, why it’s needed and perhaps touch upon what the future holds for those practicing the art.
About this event
Through the insights of our panellists and contributions from the audience we expect an evening that will challenge assumptions, perhaps be uncomfortable in places and also reassuring. Whatever your discipline, at the end of the night you should come away with a deeper understanding and some new ideas to take back to your practice.
Billy Griffin, SDS Steering Group Member and Treasurer, will host this exciting new event posing the questions, and keeping order.
Whilst all our talks include speaker question and answers, this debate will be an opportunity for you to have your say. So sign up today, to secure your place in what should be a great evening.
NB. If you’ve got a burning question to put to the panel please pass details to Kirstine.
