This two day event will include twelve discussion sessions, presentations from leading design researchers Professor Doina Petrescu (University of Sheffield and atelier d’architecture autogérée) and Professor Roberto Feo (Goldsmiths, University of London and El Ultimo Grito), peer-to-peer research skills workshops and a display of design research imagery.”

London premiere of Nelly Ben Hayoun’s ‘Disaster Playground’ at the BFI
Nelly Ben Hayoun‘s new documentary ‘Disaster Playground‘ is a must-see, and now you, too, can see it- the London premiere takes place on June 30 at the BFI. The film investigates the procedures to manage and assess the risks from possible catastrophes from outer-space; Nelly herself will be present for a Q&A after the screening.
