THINKING PRACTICING LISTENING
Keynote speaker: Dr Huda Tayob
21.06.21 10:00-13:00
This symposium will focus on the importance to architectural practice and research of listening. To listen effectively is not just to hear: it means actively seeking perspectives from those people in society whose voices are often the least audible. In exploring a wide range of voices in architectural practice, theory and history, the symposium intersects with the themes of decolonisation and inclusion, which are embedded in the teaching and research culture of the University of Westminster. The symposium will feature presentations from architects, educators, researchers and students who will discuss the themes of their work and the methods that they engage to seek out, listen to and include diverse voices.

Please join us on Friday, 2nd of July from 5pm to 7pm (BST), for the last in the series of events around our graduating students' virtual degree show OPEN2021. We will host our last year’s graduate, Hamza Shaikh, the founder and the host of the Two Worlds Design podcast, and a maker at Make Architects.
Through recounting his architectural education journey, as well as the ways in which he explored and expanded his interests in relation to the architectural profession and beyond, Hamza will help us tackle the difficult, yet important and timely question: Does University prepare you for practice?
The event will be streamed live on the School of Architecture + Cities’ YouTube channel.
