Kyveli Anastasiadi is an architect and performer, incorporating Physical Thinking as a tool for designing and making. Design Through Performance merges the world of architecture with the world of performance and cognitive science, challenging existing architectural typologies while rediscovering architecture as an embodied ‘process’ of making a design.

Andrew Brown has engaged in solo and collaborative projects involving sound, text, film and performance since the late 1970s. He is a Senior Lecturer on the interdisciplinary Fine Art course at Nottingham Trent University and has written for various art publications, as well as being author of a book on the devising processes of the Anglo-Belgian performance company Reckless Sleepers.
Andrew founded the project OpenCity in 2006, inspired by a chance event witnessed in a city square in which several (presumably unconnected) individuals began to run in different directions at the same moment.
Everyday urban behaviour has since been observed, sampled and released back into environments across the world, with previous manifestations taking place in cities such as Aix-en-Provence, Berlin, Belgrade, Toronto, and Budapest, each composed of material responsive to the specificities of a time and place and based upon a subtle critique of our relationship with the city.
Josh Fenton is an aspiring architect from Birmingham, UK. After recently completing an MA in Architectural Design (Edinburgh College of Art at Edinburgh University), he is now interested in pursuing the more theoretical and poetic nature of architecture, Josh’s final design proposal for the MA course; ‘Time In Line’ examined the possibility of fabricating a storehouse for community memory using only the sounds that comprise their aural history. Sounds rather than image become key to defining user experience. Josh is widely travelled and tends to spend long periods of the summer living amongst other cultures, and writing about his experiences. His latest project explores the rural communities of Morroco in comparison to the developed cities of the western world.
