Meetings are now less constrained to offices, shops and fixed points of service, and can take place in a range of environments, including branded places: coffee houses, transportation hubs, customised meeting places, and informal, locally-branded spaces. People are drawn to places that have particular meanings as loci of human encounter. Communications technologies are implicated in this move into the variegated brandscape.
We gather evidence for these assertions about the rise of branded meeting places, examine the suitability of branded spaces for human encounters (eg meetings amongst business associates, between service providers and clients), and develop strategies for improving the technologies that support them. In the process we will critically examine and analyse branded spaces, theories about their formation, and how they operate as loci of human encounter.

Meetings are now less constrained to offices, shops and fixed points of service, and can take place in a range of environments, including branded places: coffee houses, transportation hubs, customised meeting places, and informal, locally-branded spaces. People are drawn to places that have particular meanings as loci of human encounter. Communications technologies are implicated in this move into the variegated brandscape.
We gather evidence for these assertions about the rise of branded meeting places, examine the suitability of branded spaces for human encounters (eg meetings amongst business associates, between service providers and clients), and develop strategies for improving the technologies that support them. In the process we will critically examine and analyse branded spaces, theories about their formation, and how they operate as loci of human encounter.

Postgraduate School
Edinburgh College of Art (ECA)
Developed with support from the Postgraduate Transferable Skills Unit using Roberts Review funding from the UK Research Councils and additional support from the Arts & Humanities Research Council
Course Coordinators: Richard Coyne (UoE); Katie Overy (UoE); Brian Edwards (ECA); Neil Mulholland (ECA)
Teaching staff: Richard Coyne (Architecture), Kate Overy (Music), Jon Turner (Transkills), Brian Edwards (Architecture), Neil Mulholland (Visual & Cultural Studies)
Description
This course is designed to support students in developing their research proposal and to assist them in defining their mode of enquiry. The course has been constructed to help guide students through a range of issues and considerations which should inform their general approach to research. This course will give students a general introduction to postgraduate research, its methodologies, its challenges and its organization, including in creative practice. Students will be introduced to a range of research tools and will be equipped to plan and organise their research, as well as to communicate their findings. The course will cover (1) the practicalities of research, including setting and achieving realistic goals, planning, working in a team, using resources, presentations skills, and meeting institutional requirements and expectations of good practice, (2) techniques for advancing knowledge and understanding, such as setting up a programme of reading, literature review, techniques of archival research, interviewing, observation studies, ethnographic research, gathering evidence, quantitative methods, and creative practice as research, (3) developing a critical framework in which to review research and research methods, taking account of the contested nature of research practice.
