UR Comments - Live!
June 1 2017
At UR Comments - Live! Urban Realm editor John Glenday will be on-hand alongside Chris Dobson and Akiko Kobayashi of Architecture Fringe to bring the website to life on the night of 19 July by chairing a discussion of all the days hottest topics.
In true internet fashion this discourse will be directed, disparaged and quite possibly derailed by audience interjections – including some voiced from behind the comforting anonymous blanket of an on-stage curtain.
Dobson said: “For one night only, the cut and thrust of the Urban Realm website will come to life, live on stage!
“From in-depth comments to acerbic diatribes - we all care about the architecture. There'll be some complementary drinks, a chairperson in the form of Urban Realm’s erstwhile editor, an audience and a cloak of anonymity… we just need you, the online contributors.
“Opinionated views, disagreements and a good dose of laughter are pretty much guaranteed. Join us!”
The debate will take place on Wednesday 19 July from 19:30 in central Glasgow (venue tbc). To confirm your interest please contact us at info@urbanrealm.com to keep abreast of all the latest news.

most of my comments don't make it onto these pages, can I get a space behind the curtains?

Big Chantelle fae the Toll! UR Young Team! This is a fantastic idea. Can we discuss the lack of arched windows in post-modernist designs and how post-modernism, in general, has, at this point, jumped the shark and become pastiche? Will there ever be a new build in a "classic" style again? Is detail dead? The nature of "character" and "substance" in architecture...the list is endless! :)
