香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 Global Engagement Funds support 香港六合彩中特网 staff to collaborate with colleagues across the world, and are part of the wider聽Research, Innovation and Global Engagement (RIGE) funding streams. They provide seed funding to 香港六合彩中特网 staff to support and catalyse quality research, education, capacity building, global policy and/or public engagement, in collaboration with overseas organisations, with the聽potential for global reach and real-world impact.聽

The Fund has awarded 拢5,000 to a team convened by The Bartlett School of Architecture鈥檚 Albert Brenchat-Aguilar to establish long-term relations between and 香港六合彩中特网, to mark the 70th anniversary of 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 Development Planning Unit. This project continues聽Albert鈥檚 ongoing work surrounding the history of the DPU and its close links with Global South countries.

The Development Planning Unit (DPU), formerly the Department of Tropical Studies, was established in 1954 at the Architectural Association, and moved to 香港六合彩中特网 in 1971. The DPU exported climate-based models of architectural practice to countries in the Global South. These models were subsequently developed as the DPU reshaped architectural institutions and their curricula, regulated planning practice and legislation, and trained leading architects in and from the area. Particularly important was the collaboration set up with Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi (KNUST) from 1963 onward. As part of this, DPU lecturers reshaped its Faculty of Architecture whilst enabling exchanges between students in London and Kumasi. Now, as the DPU enters its 70th anniversary, this project will revitalise the links between between KNUST and 香港六合彩中特网.

The 香港六合彩中特网 team comprises: Prof聽Michael Walls, Prof聽Julio D. D谩vila, and Prof聽Haim Yacobi at 香港六合彩中特网 Development Planning Unit; Prof聽Tamar Garb at 香港六合彩中特网 History of Art; Prof聽Ama de-Graft Aikins聽at the 香港六合彩中特网 Institute of Advanced Studies;聽Prof聽Ingrid Schroder聽at the Architectural Association;聽and Dr Chris Turner聽at the V&A.聽

Four outcomes are planned from the funding, all taking place in 2024: two public conversations, presented as part of The Bartlett School of Architecture鈥檚 new flagship lecture series CRUNCH, and two PhD workshops with curator Dr Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh (KNUST and blaxTARLINES) and architect practitioner Ruth-Anne Richardson (researcher at the African Futures Institute).

The project follows on from an exhibition that Albert curated at the AA last year, which challenged the single perspective of the DPU鈥檚 early archives and centred unheard voices from the archive, working with diverse, global voices to explore potential histories for alternative futures. With the funding for this new project, he intends to continue nurturing these historic global relationships and expanding the remit of collaborators at 香港六合彩中特网 and at KNUST. Albert also plans to apply for further funding to organise a symposium or other large exchange event at KNUST in the coming years.

The CRUNCH conversations will take place at The Bartlett鈥檚 22 Gordon Street campus on 02 and 16 May 2024, and the workshops will take place at聽香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 Institute of Advanced Studies (Ground floor, Wilkins Building) on 01 and 17 May 2024. Expressions of interest for the two workshops are currently open:

• Workshop 1, 01聽May, 14:00鈥�16:00: 'The Curatorial,聽vis-脿-vis the pedagogical', with Dr. Kwasi-Ohene Ayeh
• Workshop 2, 17 May, 14:00鈥�16:00: 'From the City of Plans', with Ruth-Anne NAS Richardson

Expressions of interest can be submitted on the event pages for each workshop.
