UniSpace Sunderland is currently hosting a two-day architectural glass event (17-18 May) in its iconic National Glass Centre (NGC) building.
The Symposium in Architectural Glass is expected to bring 120 delegates to UniSpace for plenary sessions in the NGC, and a dinner in the museum’s restaurant overlooking the River Wear.
The symposium has been organised with the help of the NGC-based Institute for International Research in Glass (IIRG), co-ordinated by Sylva Petrova, of the University of Sunderland.
“The National Glass Centre is an architecturally unique building that houses a national museum and visitor attraction. We are delighted to be hosting this international event which addresses the latest thinking in glass technology,” says Commercial Manager of the University of Sunderland, Sharon Olver.
The emphasis of the event is on how flat glass can be used three dimensionally in space and as a creative means of expression.
