The next conference of the Institute of Australian Architects on the theme ‘How soon is now’ will take place in Adelaide, Australia from 28 to 30 April 2016. Rather than turning systematically toward the future or toward the past, the conference demonstrates how today’s projects outline the new operational models for architecture in tomorrow’s world. 
 
The organizers define the great questions of the debate as follows: “From our own examination of the current climate of architectural discourse and the discussions that have evolved so far with many of the speakers, the conference has defined four key themes: Building Resilience, Transforming Populations, Creating Equity and Advocating Futures. These themes capture some of the pressing issues that face not simply the discipline of architecture, but encapsulate the transformations in how we live, create and communicate. They incorporate wider social and cultural narratives in order to explore how architectural skills and thinking can be harnessed to create more equitable and sustainable futures.”

The 2016 National Architecture Conference will take place 28-30 April at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

Charles Rice, Thomas Fisher, Matt Davis, Sadie Morgan, Urtzi Grau and Angelique Edmonds are among the speakers and panelists. To see other speakers and panelists, please click here.
