Spirit of Place \u2013 the inaugural Regional Architecture Conference \u2013 takes place on the 6 and 7 September in Cairns. This event focuses on the unique opportunities available to architects practising regionally, responding to the unique \u2018spirit of place\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Creative Director of the conference is Stephen de Jersey, a practicing architect in the regional city of Townsville.<\/p>\n

\u2018This conference gives architects a chance to pick up where the 2012 National Architecture Conference \u2013 Experience left off. That successful and acclaimed event started many conversations and we want these exchanges to continue, to evolve,\u2019 says Stephen.<\/p>\n

\u2018In recent times, the effect of distance has been dramatically changed with the advent of immediate communications systems as well as cost effective travel. Regional communities can now be serviced in a multitude of different ways; however, in many respects, responding directly to the uniqueness of a regional place is becoming increasingly at risk.<\/p>\n

\u2018The aim of the conference is to excite and inspire the practice of architecture in regional Australia. Our country is in its infancy, and we believe that it will be of significant benefit to future generations for us to acknowledge and respond to the unique \u2018spirit of place\u2019.\u2019<\/p>\n

The conference features an illustrious set of keynote speakers, whose work responds to this mandate. In addition, there will be a rich range of associated tours and events that explore the extraordinary locality of the Cairns region.<\/p>\n

Speakers include:<\/p>\n

Robert Morris-Nunn \u2013 Circa Morris Nunn Architects, Tasmania
\nHua Li \u2013 Trace Architecture Office, China
\nAlice Hampson \u2013 Alice Hampson Architect, Queensland
\nFernando Menis \u2013 Fernando Menis Architects, Spain
\nThomas Bailey \u2013 Room 11, Tasmania
\nJorge Gracia \u2013 Gracia Studio, USA\/Mexico
\nStuart Harrison \u2013 Harrison White Architects, Victoria
\nKevin Low \u2013 Small Projects, Malaysia
\nDon Watson \u2013 State Library of Queensland, Brisbane
\nBronwen Kerr and Pete Ritchie \u2013 Kerr Ritchie, New Zealand
\nAdrian Iredale \u2013 Iredale Pedersen Hook Architects, Perth<\/p>\n

Spirit of Place is the first in a biennial program of Regional Architecture Conferences, which will provide considerable opportunities for the Institute\u2019s regional members.<\/p>\n

Stephen de Jersey is Principal, Stephen de Jersey Architect, a practice that he established in 1994 in Townsville. Projects include health, religious, commercial and community projects and \u2018adventurous tropical residences\u2019.
\nSpirit of Place \u2013 2013 Regional Architecture Conference is hosted by the Queensland Chapter, Australian Institute of Architects.<\/p>\n
