10TH JUNE 2009 - THE CIRCLE CLUB MANCHESTER- 6:30PM
There are so many pressures put upon architects in today’s society. Longevity, aesthetics and function are all obvious needs in a design but adding to this is global warming, anti social behavior, the recession, access legislation, fair trade and sustainability…the list goes on and is forever expanding. Does this make designing a building an impossible task? How are these pressures going to change the landscape of our urban sprawl? Join us over supper as we discuss this with our expert panel.

Censorship in the Media
13TH MAY 2009 - THE CIRCLE CLUB - MANCHESTER
THE PANEL
Chaired by MARK EDWARDSON presenter at the BBC for 15 years
DR DAVID A HOLMES Lecturer in Psychology & Social Change, Manchester Metropolitan University Is studying the cut off between fantasy and pathology in film voyeurism
MOF GIMMERS. TV Critic, writer, talking head and all round claptrap.

THE TALK
Join us for this provocative debate on the topic of freedom of expression. Whether your producing a film, a piece of music, clothing, a play, a building or some other form of creativity there will always be an idea, a message or some other form of communication spread within it. In this discussion we seek to explore how far you can and should go with a particular form of expression. How should professional bodies/ institutions deal with breaches of censorship on live broadcast such as the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross incident? As people producing work within the public domain, should we respect peoples sensitivities or respect the publics right to information? What are the benefits of being controversial and why do people do it?
