Join Technology Leads from UK Arch Schools in a full day event, exploring ways to advance teaching and research of technologies subject.

The TECHNICA Convention, is a full-day event, exploring ways to advance teaching and research of the technologies subject in Architecture. The event aims to bring together all the Technology Leads from Schools of Architecture in the UK to discuss current and future challenges related to Technologies teaching and propose strategies to continuously improve our practice.

The event is composed of seminars and workshop sessions, creating opportunities for institutions to share experience on developing strategic approaches to curriculum development and innovative teaching practices across different themes.We invite institutions to present their work on teaching Technologies around the following themes:· Tectonics &amp; Constructability· Climatic Response· Structural &amp; Fire Safety· Future Design Practices &amp; Advanced FabricationThe seminar sessions will be structured around examples of strategic revisions and interventions at a programme level, and examples of tactical pedagogical interventions at tactical level (e.g.: workshop activity, task – problem solving task, etc.).

Presenting at TECHNICAInstitutions that are interested in presenting at the seminar sessions should submit a 500-word abstract, containing a general description of the teaching practice they want to showcase, in terms of scope, rationale, extent and observed results. If you would like to show case a specific tactical pedagogical intervention (e.g.: workshop activity), the description should emphasize its place in the architecture curriculum, aims (i.e. learning outcomes), methodology, supportive infrastructure and results (e.g. discussing current challenges and future opportunities). Abstracts (500 words) should be submitted via the link below:<a href="https://forms.gle/ZAUruaDDAYcKuiHfA" title="https://forms.gle/ZAUruaDDAYcKuiHfA" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://forms.gle/ZAUruaDDAYcKuiHfA</a> The deadline for the abstract submission is 08th April 2024 5pm.
