architectural association (2)

On 4th March 2021 an online conference was held between the School of BEA Acoustics group and the world famous Architectural Association (AA) School of Architecture. 45 students and academic staff from both institutions attended the afternoon event. The theme of the conference was Acoustics in Architecture, Architecture in Acoustics. The idea of a conference was formulated and developed by the director of Institute of Acoustics (IOA) courses at LSBU Dr Luis Gomez-Agustina, in response to the impossibility this year to hold the face-to-face educational exchange events and site visits that both universities normally have in March. The aim of the conference was to improve the understanding of each other’s disciplines, enhance communication and promote collaborative work between acousticians and architects. 

The conference commenced with an introduction to the event in the virtual main room, aimed to set the scene and create a relaxed and participatory atmosphere. Then attendees calling in

The School of BEA Acoustics post graduate students and Architecture students from the famous Architectural Association (AA) in London, recently attended a series of  interdisciplinary workshops, research presentations, seminars and tours organised at both institutions. 

The Architectural Association School of Architecture is the oldest independent school of architecture in the UK and one of the most prestigious and competitive in the world. Its wide-ranging programme of exhibitions, lectures, symposia and publications have given it a central position in global discussions and developments within contemporary architectural culture.

The educational exchange and collaborative activities took place on 20 February and 27 February 2020 and aimed to raise student awareness of each others’ disciplines,  promote research collaboration and encourage the exchange of knowledge, perspectives,  ideas and insights relevant in the architectural design process.
