Events and Symposia

In the context of the fantastic architectural encounter, this session welcomes papers that examine built and unbuilt proposals which projected new architectures based upon imagined cultural intersections, encounters and exchanges: the strange and often hybrid structures that appropriated ideas and images from other cultures or imagined past and future worlds, recombined at will.

This conference seeks to explore how concepts of freedom and liberal political and economic theories have intersected with architecture and the built environment from the 19th century to the present day.

ATCH members Dr Ashley Paine and Dr Susan Holden co-chaired a session titled "Alternative Histories of the Pavilion" at the 2018 International Conference for the Society of Architectural Historians in St Paul, Minnesota.

Home: A Suburban Obsession exposes the social and emotional power of house and home, and the myriad connections between where we live and who we are. This exploration of the social and emotional foundations of our houses is achieved through the incredible legacy of Frank and Eunice Corley.

Take this opportunity to discuss the research and findings of the Australian Cultural Fields: National and Transnational Dynamics project.

Stream convened by Dr Deborah van der Plaat (The University of Queensland), Dr Vandana Baweja (University of Florida) and Professor Tom Avermaete (ETH Zurich)
