It will enable a reflection on the ways that architecture makes demands of craft and its makers, or even rejects craft. The keynote lectures will be given by the Dutch designer Petra Blaisse, and the architects and academics Piers Taylor and Roz Barr

Richard Kindersley, Jo McCallum, Christopher Tipping, Philip Koomen. Closing remarks will be by the Professor of Architecture at the University for the Creative Arts, with a welcome by Professor Bashir Makhoul, Vice Chancellor.
