And so it begins . .

So, the 2009 S.P.A.C.E. Odyssey just kicked off in the EEC, with some atmospheric (if slightly predictable) 2001 Space Odyssey theme music and introduction from Professor Michael (messed up the joke) Stacey and the effervescent Liz Bromley-Smith. Sounds like it's going to be a really packed week , but there are still quite a lot of spaces on The Big Draw; The Art Pavillion Competition; The Urban Design Living Street and the Sustainable Sculpture Park. Also the latecomer, Urban Grip Workshop has loads of space.
