Architecture and The User Experience 

We find ourselves in a critical crossorads where our daily experiences are being influenced by the technology and innovation that surrounds us. User Experience is now a precise science that aims to curate and cater not only how we engage the world, but also how the world engages us. We must challenge the role of Architecture and its traditions of craft and experience as they relate to the emerging technologies that are specifically created to shape the User Experience. We invite you to be a part of our one-day symposium where we take a closer look at the dialogue between Technology, Craft, and Architecture in the current age of UX.
