Industries of Architecture
Developing out of research and an earlier symposium on architecture’s technical literatures ‘Further Reading Required’ (The Bartlett, 2011) this international conference takes place at Newcastle in November 2014. IOA invites architectural theorists, historians, designers and others to explore the industrial, technical and socio-economic contexts in which building is constituted that are all too often sidelined within the architectural humanities. IOA will also host a number of open-structured debate-oriented workshops with the aim of bringing into the discussion those working in building, technology, law, practice management, construction or in industry together with researchers in the architectural humanities.
