27 January 2009 - Places vs Fortresses: Can and should we design for terror?
This is a joint New London Architecture and ACA conference to be held at NLA, The Building Centre, 26 Store Street, London WC1E 7BT between 9am - 1.15pm
The government has made a clear commitment to increasing investment in public buildings and infrastructure. With that comes a responsibility to create buildings that are safe and secure in a climate where terorism remains a key issue for London. Does that mean the open city is at risk?
Join NLA and ACA for a half day conference to learn and debate what role the built environment industry should play. What is the scale of the current threat and can we learn from the past? How can we provide safe places without creating fortresses?
Speakers include:
Lord West of Spithead, Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Security and Counter-terrorsim), Home Office
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Philips, Head, The National Counter Terrorism Security Office;
Professor John Adams Emeritus Professor of Geography, UCL
