BIM in Leicester 2024
Victoria Farrow, Panel Chair Announcement: We are thrilled to introduce Bea Martin from The Manchester Metropolitan University as panel chair for the BIM in Leicester 2024 conference on 8th February!
Bea Martin is a British architect, writer, and artist. She is a Senior Lecturer in Architecture and the Inscriptive Practices and Future Processes Lead at the Manchester School of Architecture. Prior to joining the MSA, Bea taught at University of Huddersfield, Birmingham City University and University of California at Berkeley.
As a practitioner, her technical and design experience in office spans over fifteen years, working for a variety of architectural practices in London, such as Richard Rogers and Partners. She is the founder of Speculative Assemblies, an experimental design lab exploring the visual construct in architecture. In her role as a visual theorist, the focus is on a conceptual investigation, digital and analogue, of the apparatus of drawing, the challenging boundary of drawing as a work of art, practice, and research that is both architectural and artistic but never an end in itself. Her work questions and reiterates the mission of drawing through continuous research, intense interrogation and devotion to craft.
