Engineers Without Borders UK is holding a series of photography exhibitions showcasing their work. Engineers Without Boarders UK - Imperial College branch will be hosting a photo exhibition between the 30th January and 8th February displaying images from various placements.

The aim of this series of exhibitions is to highlight the importance of engineering to those that have and will have the greatest opportunity to bring about a step change in international development. In particular UK industry, academia, engineering institutions and young people are being targeted in order to improve public awareness of the use and value of engineering for human development. The exhibitions have been made possible by the kind support of the Royal Academy of Engineering through the award of a £15,400 grant from their Ingenious Fund.

The exhibition will be up in the Blythe Gallery from 30 Jan - 8 Feb and free to view at any time.

From Recyclicity to Superuse - Cesare Peeren & Andreas Lang

18:30 – 20:00, 5th March, Jarvis Hall, RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London, W1B 1AD

 

In 1997 Cesare Peeren founded 2012 Architects with Jan Jongert, a network of architects who consider 'reuse' to be an integral design strategy. They believe that the intrinsic qualities of used materials and location offer a potential added value if they are incorporated into new products and compositions.

In this joint talk, architect Andreas Lang from the art/architecture collective, public works, will address questions of how users of public space are engaging with their environment and how design and programmatic strategies can support and facilitate physical, economical and social infrastructures in the public realm, both in urban and rural settings.

Fees: £8 (£5 concession)
