"People" - Australasian Architecture Student Congress
|
 |
|
Dates: 2 - 4 July 2015
Venue: Various locations, Melbourne
Architecture is about people. In architecture we work and rest, it’s where we fall in love, where we protest; architecture changes behaviour, it unites and divides, provides shelter and inspiration.
This year Melbourne’s metropolitan architecture schools will come together to host the first Architecture Student Congress in the city since 1964. We invite you to join us on a journey around the city as we seek to investigate questions of spatial relations, architectural anthropology, humanitarian architecture, advocacy and intervention.
This is a unique opportunity for students to hear from local and international speaker, attend workshops and network.
