Groundbreaking architecture leaders and boundary-testing practitioners will deliver fresh perspectives and challenge the status quo at Collective Agency, the Australian Institute of Architects\u2019 2019 National Architecture Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference will feature a line-up of global architects, thinkers and designers including University of Johannesburg Director of Research, Lesley Lokko; Het Nieuwe Instituut Director of Research, Dr Marina Otero Verzier; aLL Design Director Marcos Rosello; and AD-WO co-Founding Partner Emanuel Admassu alongside his Australian born co-founder Jen Wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bold proclamation of the power of ideas, each speaker is tasked to empower and give a strength to the architecture collective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australian Institute of Architects National President Clare Cousins said the Collective Agency conference would focus on ways architects can transform contemporary challenges into opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Architects have the ability to influence the built environment and make the world better,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018This national conference will inspire architects with circuit-breaking ideas and fresh perspectives from leading designers and practitioners around the world and locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018This conference is deliberately different. Its international and local speakers will challenge attendees to harness their collective strength, effect change and deliver social benefits.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Africa-based academic architect and best-selling novellist, Prof Lesley Lokko, is known for her discussions of race, identity, African urbanism and place-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanish architect and researcher, Dr Marina Otero Verzier, has focused on emerging architectures of automated labour and how work spaces will evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

aLL\u2019s Marcos Rosello \u2013 whose practice designed an Alessi spoon as well as masterplanning and regenerating cities from England\u2019s Manchester to Chongqing in China \u2013 blends sculpture, colour and function in his designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acting NSW Government Architect Olivia Hyde\u2019s experience includes the development and launch of the pilot NSW State Design Review Panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sessions include speakers discussing concepts and actions for architects on collective agency, new protocols, human connectivity, changing the conversation, regenerative and disruptive economies, de-colonising practice, advocacy and influence, and action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-curator Monique Woodward says the conference is political, environmental, optimistic and fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018What are the new territories for architecture, who should be given a platform and what is advocacy within a regenerative and disruptive economy?,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018This is about celebrating architects, thought leaders and projects that challenge the status quo.
\n\u2018We want to look at the world from new perspectives and determine what our collective agency can and will be in the future.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the full program of speakers at the conference from June 20 to June 22 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, delegates can attend project tours, walking tours and the opening party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be challenged, be inspired and be part of something bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduced rate early bird tickets to Collective Agency are on sale now until Friday, May 10.
\nFull conference passes, day rates, flexi tickets and group specials are available, along with concessional rates for members, graduates and students. Full conference passes include access to the official Opening Party on Thursday 20 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
