Combining architecture and planning with disciplines such as energy and construction, heritage and public policy, we explore human spaces. Not just physical structures like homes, office blocks and cities, but the invisible structures that govern them. By sharing our research with leading thinkers 1 from industry, government and beyond, achieving true diversity of perspective and expertise, we can understand how these structures affect the way we live. And we can create a vision of a fairer and more prosperous society. The Bartlett Review, published once a year, is 100–plus pages of groundbreaking thinking and research to have emerged from The Bartlett in 2018 and its impact on the world. LETTER FROM THE DEAN ANATOMY 04 Professor Alan Penn, in his last letter as Dean of The Bartlett, says that the built environment professions’ primary responsibility must be to the public at large and to future generations.

Here East is a legacy partner of the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP) and is a major stakeholder which will play a prominent role in helping to shape the physical, economic and environmental future of the area. Planning permission was granted for Here East, the redevelopment of the Olympic broadcast complex in March 2014, with construction commencing in late 2014 and the occupation beginning in April 2016. Since then, Here East has made great progress in letting space within the development and is now occupied by Loughborough University, University College London, Studio Wayne McGregor, Ford, BT Sport, Sports Interactive, Hobs Studio and Plexal – a new innovation centre supporting entrepreneurs and corporations alongside each other. Here East welcomes the opportunity to provide comments on the draft new London Plan. These comments are provided below. Site allocation – Here East In the adopted London Plan (2016), Here East falls within the ‘Hackney Wick (part)’ ‘Strategic Industrial Location (SIL) (Industrial Business Park (IBP)).

  • Critical Visualization: a Case for Rethinking How We Visualize Risk and Security Peter Hall1,* Claude Heath2 and Lizzie Coles-Kemp2
    Journal of Cybersecurity Advance Access published December 1, 2015 Journal of Cybersecurity, 0(0), 2015, 1–16 doi: 10.1093/cybsec/tyv004 Research Article Research Article Critical visualization: a case for rethinking how we visualize risk and security Peter Hall1,* Claude Heath2 and Lizzie Coles-Kemp2 1Central St Martins University of the Arts London, 1 Granary Square, London N1C 4AA and 2Royal Holloway University of London, Surrey, TW200EX, UK Downloaded from *Correspondence address. Royal Holloway University of London, Surrey TW200EX, UK. Tel: þ44(0)1784434455; E-mail: [email protected] Received 29 May 2015; accepted 28 September 2015 Abstract http://cybersecurity.oxfordjournals.org/ In an era of high-profile hacks, information leaks and cybercrime, cybersecurity is the focus of much corporate and state-funded research. Data visualization is regarded as an important tool in the detection and prediction of risk and vulnerability in cybersecurity, but discussion tends to remain at the level of the usability of visualization tools and how to reduce the cognitive load on the consumers of the visualizations. This focus is rooted in a desire to simplify the complexity of cybersecurity. This article argues that while usability and simplification are important goals for the designers of visualizations, there is a much wider discussion that needs to take place about the underlying narratives upon which these visualizations are based. The authors take the position that the narratives on which cybersecurity visualizations are based ignore important aspects of cyberse- curity and that their visual form causes the producers and users of these visualizations to focus too by guest on December 8, 2015 narrowly on adversarial security issues, ignoring important aspects of social and community-based security.

  • The Bartlett School of Construction & Project Management
    The Bartlett School of Construction & Project Management University College London Faculty of the Built Environment The Bartlett School of Construction & Project Management ABOUT UCL UCL is one of the world's top universities. Based in the heart of London, it is a dynamic, outward-looking institution. At its establishment in 1826, UCL was radical and responsive to the needs of society, opening up education to all on equal terms, and this ethos – that excellence should go hand-in-hand with enriching society – continues today. UCL's excellence extends across all academic disciplines; from one of Europe's largest and most productive hubs for biomedical science interacting with several leading London hospitals, to world-renowned centres for architecture (UCL Bartlett) and fine art (UCL Slade School). The UCL community UCL's staff and former students have included 29 Nobel prize-winners. It is a truly international community: more than one-third of our student body – around 38,000 strong – come from 150 countries and nearly one- third of UCL’s 13,000 staff are from outside the UK. UCL offers postgraduate research opportunities in all of its subjects, and provides about 200 undergraduate programmes and more than 400 taught postgraduate programmes. Approximately 52% of the student community is engaged in graduate studies, with nearly a third of these graduate students pursuing research degrees. Research and teaching at UCL UCL is independently ranked as the most productive research university in Europe (SIR). It has 983 professors – the second highest number of any university in the UK – and the best academic to student ratio of any UK university, enabling small class sizes and outstanding individual support.
