The Production of Place 2012
International Conference & Workshops

London, UK
DEADLINE | 07.12.2012
UEL | University of East London
School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering

Workshops | 15-18 December 2012 
Conference | 17-18 December 2012

MAIN THEME
The concept of place works across multiple disciplines. It requires the application of diverse approaches: merging architecture, urbanism, geography, psychology, as a better means of understanding and responding to places.
Place may be defined by activity intrinsic to, and evidenced in, details of the physical surroundings (architectural style, composition, and type) which can be considered as a framing device for daily life. 
The aim of the conference is questioning the challenges of global problems in relation to the production of place. Focusing on the necessary components to sustain places, how do we decide when to protect, adjust or transform? 

SPECIFIC THEMES
• Global knowledge via local place
• ‘Making’ and ‘doing’ 
• Insecurity in and of places
