A symposium stimulating activity to raise the profile of Architectural Technology held on Friday 7 December 2012 at the University of Ulster, Jordanstown. I was honoured to be one of the speakers for the day.

With a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, the symposium stimulated activity to further raise the profile of Architectural Technology through the sharing of experiences and opportunities in practice and academia.  The one day event brought together a range of professionals, academics and students working and studying in the field of Architectural Technology.
