Built exhibition - images

We enjoyed an excellent response to the Built exhibition at Monday's opening and the Symposium on Tuesday.

An impressive array of speakers; a warm informal atmosphere, and a large audience contributed to a thought provoking day all about drawing and architecture.

Here are some of my images from the show together with shots of Rick Mather, architect of Liverpool's Art & Design Academy in conversation.
