A scoping workshop about Spaces of Birth at London Metropolitan University, Aldgate Campus on 2nd June 2023. Philosophical attention to the beginning and end of life has tended to focus on highly abstract ethical questions or on matters of legal regulation. This is the second in a series of three interdisciplinary workshops, this one is specifically investigating beginning of life care, focusing specifically on ethical and design questions around the spaces in which we encounter these transitional moments. Through informal presentations of research at the workshop, we explore the nature of spatial order of Spaces of Birth and the relationship between people and their environments. We aim to establish common ground; understand the nature and breadth of existing research into spatial ordering of Spaces of Birth; define shared concepts and to begin to explore conceptual and normative issues around architecture and urban design.
