International Symposium for Social and Humanitarian Architecture : Live Build and Community Engagement 

11th and 12th April, 10am - 6pm

The ‘Clean Conscience Dirty Hands’ symposium recognises the limited resources intrinsic to the provision of social and humanitarian architecture and the impact of such scarcity on the ability of organisations to ‘harness’ the learning from each built project through documentation, discussion and dissemination. As such it seeks to provide both a locus and a forum for like-minded organisations engaged in social and humanitarian building projects, in order to capture and disseminate good practice in both a UK-based and international context.

Contributors are invited to put forth and discuss a range of ideas relating to one of the three themes broadly covered by the symposium. The themes are:

1. Live build community projects for architectural learning.
2. Young designers: alternative routes into practice.
3. Building with communities: participation and empowerment.

Running over two days, the symposium features lectures, debates and workshops. Tickets are available on a day basis rather than for individual lectures or workshops.
