Visiting Professor Invited to Speak at International Convention

A visiting professor at the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment has accepted an invitation from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and British Council for School Environments (BCSE) to give a presentation of his work at their annual international convention in London.

Professor Alan Dunlop, who has led student projects at the university for four years as part of his career on the international lecture circuit, will deliver a keynote presentation at the convention which takes place in Hammersmith Academy from 9 to 11 November.

The title of this year’s convention is Building Better Schools - Investing in Education. Professor Dunlop’s presentation will address this theme directly by exploring the possibilities for innovative 21st Century learning environments. He will draw on examples of his own work to illustrate his presentation, such as his design of the Hazelwood School in Glasgow.

Looking ahead to November, Professor Dunlop said: “I'm honoured to be asked to present and as it is a reflection of my efforts to build up my profile and reputation in the United States in the past few years.”

A Fellow of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, Professor Dunlop is an award-winning architect with over thirty national and international architecture accolades including Europa Nostra, RIBA, RIAS , Scottish Design Awards and a Special Award for Architecture from the RIAI.

He has just competed positions as the Distinguished Regnier Chair in Architecture at Kansas State University and as the Mahlum Endowed Lecturer at the University of Washington.
