- How important is research in practice?
- Do designers still use sketchbooks?
- Is there enough time to work on projects that are not profit driven?
These issues will be debated by key members of the design community and academic staff from the School of Art and Design in this symposium.

The Albert Adams archive
The University of Salford has received a major gift of paintings, drawings and prints by Albert Adams (1929 – 2006). The archive will go on display in 2012 and will tour nationally from 2013.
To celebrate the aquisition of the collection, there will be two linked exhibitions the University of Salford looks at Adams’ remarkable body of work. ‘Incarceration’ highlights his response to acts of political oppression and recent atrocities, ranging from Darfur to Abu Ghraib and the imprisonment of political prisoners on Robben Island. ‘The burden’ offers an overview of Adams life and career and his exploration of his own sense of identity. As well as paintings and prints, this exhibition features African and Asian artworks collected by Adams as well as studio artefacts and archive material.
