We have been working with the Whitechapel Gallery, Goldsmith College and TINAG to put together a one day Symposiym entitled Architectures of Spectacle.
What is at stake culturally, socially and physically in the staging of a modern Olympic Games? What does it mean for east London beyond the Games? On the day that marks seven years since London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics, architects, artists, sociologists and urban theorists consider the transformation of an area into a centre of global attention.
In association with the Centre for Urban and Community Research, Goldsmiths, University of London, public works and This is Not a Gateway.
