This event has ended.

Richard Beckett from the Bartlett / UCLBute building, Birt Acres Lecture Theatre / 6:00 pm – February 23rd.

Richard is an architect and Director of BiotA Lab at the Bartlett, currently working on an EPSRC funded project “Computational Seeding of Biorecpetive Materials”. He initially studyed biochemistry and worked in RandD for Glaxosmithkline as a material scientist before going on to study and teach architecture. His investigations focus on the contemporary discussion on digital architecture and novel fabrication alongside the impact of biotechnology on architecture, namely, the use of living or semi-living materials in our built environment. This background acquires him with an expertise in the field of computational data production, 3D printing and digital manufacturing. He co-founded design/fabrication consultancy Arch-T in 2013 working at a range of scales and industries from architecture to fashion including their recent design collaboration as material designers, developing novel 3D printed fabrics with Pringle of Scotland, which has gained international acclaim.

Lecture will be ticketed for non SAWSA members.This lecture can be worth up to 8 CPD points.
