VISUAL URBANISM: LOCATING PLACE IN TIME
3rd Annual iavu conference
friday, 29 May 2015
British library, london
How does the temporal dimension influence practices of urban place-making? What happens to our perception of urban space when we look at it both forwards and backwards in time? How can time-based media be used to challenge linear notions of time? Following the success of two previous events, researchers and practitioners from across the humanities and social sciences came together to discuss contemporary concerns within visual urbanism in the third annual conference of the International Association of Visual Urbanists (iAVU).
The conference comprised presentations and panel discussions examining interdisciplinary approaches to investigating urban space and its temporalities. A keynote was given by Professor Michael Keith (Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS), University of Oxford) followed by two panels. The first panel, Making Sense of the Past, included talks by Sarah Turner (University of Kent) , Phil Hatfield (British Library) and Dominika Blachnicka-Ciacek (Goldsmiths) and was chaired by Paul Halliday (Goldsmiths). The second panel, Mapping Urban Temporalities, included presentations by Rupert Griffiths (Royal Holloway), Rebecca Ross (Central St Martins), Brian Rosa (City University of New York), and Jane Rendell (Bartlett School of Architecture) and was chaired by David Kendall (Goldsmiths).
In addition, the event included a short film festival showcasing work by the following artists and researchers exploring urban space through moving images and sound: Karla Berrens, Simon Robinson, Felipe Palma, Rebecca Locke, Rupert Griffiths, David Kendall, Rachel Sarah Jones, and Tomo Usuda.

Venue: The British Library Conference Centre
How do material aspects of the urban landscape inform and inspire urban research? How can visual research methods enable urban researchers to investigate the city’s immaterialities? How do images shape the way we view the material form of the city? Following the success of last year’s event, researchers and practitioners from across the humanities and social sciences came together to discuss contemporary concerns within visual urbanism in the second annual conference of the International Association of Visual Urbanists. An emphasis was placed on innovative methods within current urban research relating to the arts, humanities and social sciences.
The conference comprised presentations and panel discussions examining interdisciplinary approaches to investigating the materiality of the urban landscape. A keynote talk was given by Professor Caroline Knowles (Goldsmiths, University of London). The event also included a short film festival showcasing work by artists and researchers exploring the urban landscape through moving images.
