CULS FORUMS
APEC
T
he Architecture Planning Engineering and Construction (APEC) Forum was set up in 2013 and aims to support both the departments of Land Economy and of Architecture – the latter being particularly keen on help with establishing links with practising architects willing to offer outside teaching. Having kicked off with an elegant and stimulating presentation by Spencer de Grey – Foster and Partners’ joint Head of Design and CULS Hon Member – for its 2013 inaugural event in the Council Chamber of London City Hall, the APEC Forum has become one of CULS’s most active Forums with a highly regarded programme of in-the-moment bespoke events complementing a now established series of annual staples.

Somewhat disrupted by Covid-19 of course, APEC nevertheless managed to keep the flag flying for 2021 by focusing effort on outings for what are currently our core regular features … namely the Planning Update hosted by Dentons – which was held on Zoom in December with 170+ delegates registered and three Government representatives in the lineup of impressive contributors – alongside the Architects Careers Day or, rather this year, the Virtual Careers Day.
