The aim of our charrette is to investigate different ways in which Scottish Universities might work with our host Hospitalfield on research projects, knowledge exchange and related funding bids. The structure and constitution of the charrette is designed to draw out different creative and scholarly speculations on Hospitalfield, both as an historical site and as a future prospect.
