Architecture Universities
University of Ulster Architecture
The Belfast School of Architecture is almost unique in the UK and Ireland in gathering architecture, architectural technology, furniture and product design, and interior design under one roof.

Why do architects sometimes make insufficient profits out of their projects? It is tempting to blame others, such as the client who dithers and asks for changes; the team which isn’t quite of one mind; the planners who take too long; or, possibly, the perfidious contractor. However, it is architects, who are very often the team leaders, who are ultimately responsible, and so it is really up to them to put their project and team together in a way that is resistant to these problems. This seminar will take examples from the group of problems that…
