The next Embracing Complexity in Design workshop is organised by Halim Boussabaine at Liverpool University. All welcome.
The aim of the workshop is to investigate theoretical and methodological relations between complexity and design by focussing on the area of the built environment. The emphasis is on how human and technological purposes can be meshed into design in order to deliver a sustainable built environment.
