The Risk workshop by Tony Fry

We all live in a world where risk is becoming more complex and pervasive. Because the way risks are now overlapping the particular methods employed by disciplines understand them are now inadequate. This will be shown by a comprehensive review of risks and how they are increasing inter-connecting. However, before doing this two case studies of how risk can be addressed by design will be presented.

* This workshop is open to academic staff, PhDs, researchers and Masters students in SD.
* Seats are limited. If registrations for this workshop exceed its capacity, priorities will be given to academic staff, then to PhDs/ researchers and Masters students.
