The event is being organised by the Consumed Symposium Team of MA Architecture and Urbanism students at the Manchester School of Architecture and is being held at the CUBE Gallery in Manchester on Thursday 26th April 2012.
Peter Wilson of BOLLES + WILSON, will be delivering an open lecture to professionals from the built environment, as well as academics and students.

It is SE Controls’ experience that despite the willingness within the construction industry to promote systems, products and services that are claimed to be ‘sustainable’ one thing is clear, a complete package aimed at getting the best performance possible is crucial in choosing a partner for smoke ventilation and natural ventilation.

SE Controls specialises in the design, project management and installation of advanced smoke ventilation and natural ventilation solutions to meet the needs of architects, contractors, building services engineers and facilities managers worldwide.
