The keynote speaker for this conference is Julius Ayodeji
The Poverty, Problem and Purpose of Comparison
Architect Richard Rogers described Architecture as “public space held by buildings” (Higgins, 2012). I think research is “thinking held by artefacts”. The themes of this presentation are the Poverty, Problem and Purpose of Comparison; the patience of perspirations; the restless inquiry; the SCAMPER and morphological models of innovation. It seeks to ask the listener to embrace the 4am terror of the creative individual as a truly original endless resource.
Julius is a Playwright and BA (Hons) MultiMedia Programme Leader at Nottingham Trent University. Over the last ten years he has written for Radio, the stage and short film scripts. He has also written and presented a number of papers for academic conferences in the UK but mostly beyond. Creative Writing as a way of thinking and how technology might be used to express that thinking is Julius’ major research concern.
