ESALA Research Seminar
A vibrant research culture of inquiry and investigation runs through various subject areas that make up the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture [ESALA]. Our seminar series supports this by bringing scholars engaged in important research to the ESALA in order to present their work and discuss it with the school community. Recognising the rich interdisciplinarity of research interests across the school, the series welcomes speakers from a wide range of fields. Recent presentations range across topics that include: the etchings of Alexander Brodsky; the geological turn in contemporary art and philosophy; site-specific robotic fabrication; building materials and national identities; the urban photography of Thomas Struth; architectural globalisation in the cold war; time, space and the infrastructure of high-frequency trading; underwater architectures; the neoliberal baroque; and cinema and boredom.  Seminars run Wednesday’s 1-2 during semester time, and are usually located in the Adam House Basement Lecture Theatre, 3 Chambers Street.
