Hi Architects for Peace,
If you are still checking this, I was wondering if you can tell me why the Hamer Hall undercroft was chosen as the site for the forum and whether you think the space worked as a place for a public forum? I was also wondering why there has not been a forum in 2005 and 2006? Unfortunately i missed the 2004 forum.
cheers

Jess, sorry I missed your comment (by 3 years!). Hammer Hall undercroft was great, it offers shelter, it is dark enough to allow projections and it has plenty of room for exhibitions and performance (both of which we had on the day). On the other hand, it can become a wind tunnel and I remembering being freezing on that day.
We did have forums in 2005, 2006 and 2007 (http://www.architectsforpeace.org/seminars.php). Unfortunately these forums require lot of work and given that we have not paid positions, we could not continue to afford the organising time that these event require and decided instead to focus on consolidating our other programs. But we will back!
