The refurbishment of existing housing stock presents a great opportunity for architects. With this context in mind, as well as the launch of the government’s Green Deal initiative, the RIBA’s 7th annual research symposium asked the question: what challenges and problems lie beneath the maxim ‘don’t move, improve’? Encompassing issues including conservation, sustainability and design quality, the symposium explored whether old houses can become modern homes. The event included case studies from both architects and academics, as well as the presentation of an exciting student design charrette showcasing how schools of architecture came together to tackle the challenge of retrofit. Presentations are available online.

Tackling the sustainability and development challenges of the 21st century will undoubtedly require the ‘best available’ scientific advice: to measure progress; to predict impacts; to identify solutions; and to evaluate options and pathways for decision-making. The annual symposium of the STEPS Centre (Social, Technological and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability) considered what is ‘best advice’ – and how might this idea need to be re-thought – amidst the inherent complexities, uncertainties and contestations of knowledge and value that pervade so many of today’s challenges. Many questions persist about how to build and maintain robust, open and accountable processes of expert advice that can operate effectively across disciplines, sectors, social contexts and national boundaries. Presentations, videos and resources from the event are available online.

Humanitarian actors have long been concerned to ensure that the voices of affected populations are heard, and there has been a recent increase in initiatives designed to increase communication with, and accountability to, the recipients of international humanitarian assistance. Perhaps the most comprehensive attempt to date to understand the opinions and perspectives of disaster-affected populations has been undertaken by ALNAP Member CDA Collaborative Learning Projects. Between 2005 and 2009, CDA’s Listening Project held thousands of conversations with aid recipients, government and civil society representatives and aid workers in 20 aid receiving countries. The core themes that emerged from these conversations have now been collected in CDA’s new book Time to Listen: Hearing People on the Receiving End of International Aid. The ODI organised an event where the authors of the book outlined the main issues identified by the 6,000 people with whom they spoke: what works in humanitarian assistance, and what needs to change. The presentation was followed by an open discussion. Videos of the event are available online.
