Dear all, Applications now open for the 3rd European Urban Summer School to take place in London: Times of Scarcity - Reclaiming the Possibility of Making Globalisation, climate change, resource depletion and financial crises are the prevailing – and often crippling – conditions which shape our immediate professional and academic lives and longer-term futures. In our times of rapid change, young planners, architects and designers must develop and adopt new and more holistic approaches to planning and design in order to engage in a meaningful manner with an increasingly urban world and to propose creative interventions that go beyond the immediately physical. The 3rd European Urban Summer School (EUSS) is a joint project of AESOP / ECTP / CEU / IFHP / ISOCARP and SCIBE, hosted by the University of Westminster, School of Architecture and the Built Environment in September 2012. It aims to bring together postgraduate students, emerging and experienced academics and young and established design and planning professionals from all over Europe (and further away) to develop a better understanding of some of the most pressing contemporary issues related to the built environment and to amplify and strengthen the links between planning- and design-relevant research and professional practice. You can apply to be a participant (for young planning or design professionals) or a tutor. For more info on the topic, the case study and the application process, please follow the link. http://www.scibe.eu/category/euss/ Best regards, Isis Nunez Ferrera -- *Isis Nunez Ferrera SCIBE | http://www.scibe.eu/ Architecture and Built Environment Research Centre University of Westminster Room M604 35 Marylebone Road, London NW1 5LS [log in to unmask]*
