10:00 AM - 4:30 PM, Friday 5 February 2016

Place: University of Westminster, London.

This one day conference will include three panels on:

• disaster and risk design – examining the rise of topological approaches to international aid and disaster relief, digital humanitarianism, crowd-sourcing and citizens as sensors
• designing with emergent urban systems – exploring the potential for iterative and decentred modes of governance and urban design to overcome the shortcomings of liberal-modernist planning
• resilience versus sustainability – investigating the theoretical and practical purchase of resilience and sustainability in relation to the ‘topologies’ of complex reality, and the problematic theoretical interface between the two concepts.

The deadline for the call for papers for these three panels is 1 December 2015.
