The Australian Institute of Architects\u2019 2013\u00a0National Architecture Conference, MATERIAL<\/b>, will take place in Melbourne at the end of next month, with\u00a0Early Bird ticket sales closing on Monday 22 April<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Featuring masters of material from all around the world, including local talents, the 2013 conference will provide refreshing insight into the evolving discipline of material use and showcase the advancements in their creation. The program is finalised and a rich line up of speakers is in place. A total of 14 speakers will be making the creative pilgrimage from USA, Austria, Spain, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, China and from Australia.<\/p>\n

Through the assistance of industrial robots and helicopters, among other things, the speakers have manipulated a wide range of materials from plastic to pollution through brick, concrete and steel, incorporating recycled materials into their designs, pushing the boundaries of the built world. These Thought Leaders will speak about their work, their ideas and inspirations, and offer insights into their practices and personal perspectives on their own careers.<\/p>\n

We will be in the company of practitioners who have exhibited on numerous occasions at the Venice Architecture Biennale; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Design Museum, London; Archilab; SF-MoMA; CCA Kitakyushu; Centre Pompidou; and Manifesta, among others.<\/p>\n

\u2018It will be an inspiring two days, and I\u2019m personally looking forward to learning a few things. It\u2019s not a case of \u201cthe usual suspects\u201d,\u2019 said Shelley Penn, National President of the Institute.<\/p>\n

Ticket prices have been frozen from 2012, in consideration of the current economic climate and its impact on our members, and the Early Bird bookings allow for significant savings.<\/p>\n

The Institute is also offering a payment plan for attendees. Simply pay $100 deposit towards your ticket and the full amount can be paid in as many payments as desired, as long as full payment is received one week prior to the Conference, on Thursday 23 May.<\/p>\n

While the main conference sessions take place at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre on Fri 31 May and Sat 1 June, a program of city-wide fringe and social activities is taking place from Thursday 30 May, including the official Opening Party on Thursday night on the roof top of Sean Godsell\u2019s beautiful RMIT Design Hub; and several building and factory tours and special SONA events.<\/p>\n

Earlybird tickets close Monday 22 April. For more information and to book visit\u00a0www.architecture.com.au\/material<\/a>.<\/p>\n
