RIBA Research Symposium: Urban Thresholds

This year’s RIBA Research Symposium was convened by Irena Bauman on the subject of “Urban Thresholds – do they help of hinder local resilience”. The event had a fantastic line up of speakers, including Prof. Ann Powers for LSE, Prof. Danny Dorling of Oxford and Jan Gehl of Jan Gehl Architects. A Student Charette was held to explore the thresholds between RIBA Headquarters and Society. The photo here shows students in the RIBA council chamber during the tour of the building.
