Aim
The Louis Laybourne Smith School of Architecture and Design and the Bob
Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, UniSA are collaborating to present the third
symposia in the EveryCity Series entitled Edifice. Previous symposia
have been Terrace and Square. In each case, the aim is to
explore the idea of everycity space – the cultural, political and design
landscapes – and to consider new expressions and aspirations within our own
space.
The Edifice symposium is an invitation only event, providing an
opportunity for a range of views on pivotal buildings to be presented by
participants, with an interdisciplinary capacity. It will complement other
activities coinciding with the Adelaide Festival including an exhibition in
the Kaurna Building entitled List Ing.
The Symposium will be chaired by Dr
Judith Brine.
Nikos Papastergiadis, Associate Professor of Australian Studies at
the University of Melbourne and Kerstin Thompson, Principal of
Kerstin Thompson Architects, Melbourne will be presenting and will be joined
by a panel of experts to engage the invited audience in discussion and
questions during the proceedings.
The session will be recorded and series transcripts will be posted on the
Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre web site with links to the Louis
Laybourne Smith School of Architecture and Design website.
