As part of the lecture series dedicated to the typology of building forms, the next guest will be Elanor Warwick from Great Britain. The lecture will take place on Monday, April 18, 2016, at 6:30 PM at the Faculty of Architecture of the Czech Technical University in Prague, in lecture hall 155. Elanor Warwick is an architect and urban planner with design practice in the areas of residential and civic buildings. She gained experience in connecting research and practice at the well-known British government non-profit organization CABE, where she led a research team focused on assessing the quality of the built environment and its impact on users and investors. In her lecture Building for Life: Assessing housing design quality, she will present the British quality standard for residential projects defined by twenty fundamental criteria. Elanor Warwick is currently leading strategic research at Affinity Sutton, the largest provider of social housing in Great Britain. The lecture series dedicated to the typology of building types is organized by the Institute of Building Science at the Faculty of Architecture of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The individual lectures by foreign guests will gradually present the types of buildings that are most frequently encountered in design practice and use – housing, educational buildings, offices, etc. The goal of the series is to highlight the significance of typology as a scientific discipline, describe the development of new building types and their combinations that can be observed in the contemporary world, and the methods that can be used to grasp and study these new forms. One of the key questions also involves the possibilities of connecting research with the public, as well as the private sector.
