About AAE2016 conference

Hosted by The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL in collaboration with the association of architectural educators (aae), aae2016 is an International Peer Reviewed Conference on ‘Research-Based Education’ which will run from 7 to 9 April 2016. The aae2016 is part of Bartlett 175, an exciting series of events celebrating the 175 years of architectural education at UCL.

At a pivotal time for architectural education, this conference will bring together global innovators in education, research and practice to interrogate the diverse natures and interrelationships between these realms as they relate to architecture, and to discuss how and why they may evolve over the coming century.
