Ecological Citizenship and The Art of Changing One's Mind(set)
Friday 18 March 11 - 5 pm, Buckley Building, Oxford Brookes University. Room BG01
This one-day symposium organised by the Social Sculpture Research Unit deals with the issues we are looking at this year. As part of this Dr. Arran Stibbe is going to 'explore the role of the Arts in helping to break out of a set of social and cultural constructions that have placed humanity on a path to self-destruction and in helping to open up new, previously unimagined paths. He will raise questions of whether it is too late, or impossible, for the trajectory of society to change fast enough to avert ecological collapse of some kind, and the consequences for how we see our work.'

Responsive Architecture
Unit B Responsive Architecture was a 2nd and 3rd year vertical degree unit at Oxford Brookes University.
We are concerned with site sensitive architecture that relates to its time and place, continuously adjusting, responding and reacting to fit itself to the present state of its environment and inhabitants. Nothing stays still. Indeed the only constant could be said to be change itself. It seems that reaction and interaction are pre-requisites for inhabiting an environment and sheltering occupants in such a level of flux. Why therefore should architecture be static?
