This event is sponsored by Agilent EEsof EDA. For the latest from Agilent EEsof: http://www.agilent.com/find/eesof |
Why this seminar is important?
Agilent Technologies are staging a FREE all day workshop that deals with Design tools for High Frequency and High Speed Digital design. Agilent EEsof EDA is the group within Agilent Technologies responsible for modelling and simulation software. Agilent Technologies offer a variety of tools that help designers take the guesswork out of the physical implementation aspects of their RF/uW and HSD communication product designs, reducing reliance on hardware prototyping.

The 2nd International Symposium on Crisis Management
| Date | Thursday 29th March 2012 |
| Location | IET London, Savoy Place |
| http://www.pandoraproject.eu | Attendance at the symposium is free and by invitation only, and details on how to obtain an invitation are provided on the Request Invitation page in the official PANDORA website |
The 2nd International Symposium on Crisis Management is a one-day presentation, demonstration and consultation event covering a range of current EU funded research projects on crisis management. It will provide practitioners from a wide range of sectors with information on the current state-of-the-art technologies in crisis management training, control and command, prediction and preparation, and response management. The symposium follows a successful 1st ISCM event run in Greece in 2011. ISCM 2012 is being run at the Institution of Engineering and Technology in London, by the Pandora project, a consortium consisting of a multidisciplinary group of academic, industrial and scientific pioneers. The symposium will also feature presentations and demonstrations from a number of other EU projects (see Program page for details), and a consultation discussion run by a senior Project Officer from the EU.
Sustainable Futures: Guest Lecture with Ken Shuttleworth
| Date | Tuesday 27th March 2012, 18:00-19:00 |
| Location | UEL Docklands, Main Lecture Theatre (MLT) |

Ken Shuttleworth (the architect responsible for The Gherkin in London) will be giving a lecture on ‘Sustainable Futures’ which is designing schemes which minimise environmental impact and optimise energy efficiency. Ken believes that architects have an urgent duty to mitigate the effects of climate change by designing buildings which work harder, perform better, minimise environmental impact and optimise energy efficiency. Sustainability in architecture is much more than just a ‘bolt-on’ remedy and incorporating a few obvious elements like wind turbines or solar panels.

UEL’s first year BSc (Hons) Architecture students in collaboration with BSc/BA (Hons) Product Design students will be exhibiting the work entitled Re-take on Make: The possibilities of Re-using and Re-appropriating found and recycled materials in design at Eco-build, the world's largest exhibition for sustainable design, construction and the built environment.
Re-take on Make: The possibilities of Re-using and Re-appropriating found and recycled materials in design.
UEL’s first year Architecture programme has been recognised by it’s ‘hands-on’ approach, working with the physical exploration of materials and processes of making. Thinking into the future whilst working with the opportunities available from the past, the programme commences with a question about our resources:
Living in a society of over production, what is the potential in the abundance of materials and objects? How do we recognise the waste? What is ‘scrap’? And how can we transform it so as construct new structures, spaces and events?
Has the time arrived to experiment with what is already there?
There was no better place to ask this question than in collaboration with Eco-build, the world's largest exhibition for sustainable design, construction and the built environment and is running from the 20–22 March 2012 at the ExCeL exhibition and conference centre in London's Docklands. We were invited to join the exhibition because of our shared brief and our common interest in sustainable speculation, looking ahead with better and greener solutions. In particular, the collaboration spurred from the first year’s first project “a Table”, a device for social consumption”. A 1:1 scale making project based on appropriation and re-use of found objects with the aim of creating a new public furniture and eating device able to generate social spaces and relationships
Evolution 1:
The brief begins with ‘scavenging’ the city, student search for found objects and materials that are no longer loved or required, from industrial waste (copper piping/car tyres), to domestic surplus (furniture’s/tools). They return carrying their ingredients, to explore their potential, breaking them apart and asking what else can they do.
The first part of the project, revealed the potential for re-thinking eating, social relationships and materials. But in specific re-using the city’s forgotten material in new ways that erases their memory and gives them a second breath of life. Function at times gave way to material behaviour and performance; at others it inspired awkward, poetic and intriguing new hybrids and relationship to the body (rocking to capture food and cycling with cable drums to dip bites in chocolate). The found objects evolved into eating devices with social function, able to bring together and create a new outlook on eating culture and behaviour.
Two devices were selected to be taken further at Eco-build, a second evolution for the design, a third life for the found objects.
Evolution 2:
At Eco-build, we will be exhibiting 3 proto-types, developed in collaboration with the Product Design department at UEL and using recycled materials (selected from Eco-build) as well as found objects. The proto-types are public furniture entitled Co-motion, Eco-motion and Cyclobine. Each opens up dialogue about public furniture in the city, the former two, a part of the same family, are adaptable and transforming structures able to offer multi-purpose public space (reading/sleeping/dancing); Cyclobine on the other hand, transforms mechanical energy (from cycling), into other energy forms (such as electrical energy) to create new temporary social events in different public settings; from charging your phone at a bus stop, to watching a film in a park to creating lighting in a refugee tent.

For further information, or to book a place, please contact alumni@uel.ac.uk |
We have pleasure in inviting our students, staff and graduates to an alumni evening of presentations and discussions onArchitecture, Computing and Engineering!There will be presentations by both our Vice-Chancellor Professor Patrick McGhee and renowned architect and honorary award holder Sunand Prasad, after which a free buffet will be available. Following this we will be hosting open discussions in four break-out sessions.This will allow colleagues and alumni to mix and share ideas around research, knowledge transfer, internships and further study in an informal environment.
