This symposium aims to decode and challenge the societal attitudes and design conventions that shape contemporary design and impact bamboo use. Highlighting case studies from bamboo growing regions such as Colombia and Indonesia, it draws on the expertise of three leading voices:
Scotland is now experiencing relative ‘Sea-level Rise’. All future projections expect the rate of this rise to speed up due to climate change /rising ocean temperatures.[1] The global mean sea level rose by 3.6mm per year from 2006–2015.[2] Estimated global mean ‘Sea-level Rise’ in the next 100 years is around half a metre.[3] There are local variations in sea level rise which have important effects on the UK. 1.

How can we drive a progressive transformation of architectural culture to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future? This panel discussion brings together curators and emerging architects from the UK and across Europe to share their perspectives on evolving professional landscapes and alternative models of practice that challenge the status quo.
