Building Biographies Symposium

Messenger House by MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple

Start the New Year with an inspiring symposium featuring speakers from Scotland, Europe and Canada. The symposium is being held in conjunction with the latest Architecture in Scotland biennial exhibition 'Building Biographies'.

The exhibition presents recent Scottish projects alongside European examples from the region of Vorarlberg in Austria, Graubunden in Switzerland and Norway, and places the buildings of Scotland and their biographies within an international perspective. The symposium will discuss issues such as the culture of place and regional identity in the age of globalisation through the work of each practice.
