THIS YEAR'S PROGRAM

TWITTER: #archphil

Architecture + Philosophy provides a unique opportunity for a space of exchange between the two disciplines. While what we provide is a local space – Melbourne practitioners on Melbourne issues – the Architecture and Philosophy series welcomes speakers from any discipline to engage with questions of contemporary urbanism, planning, technology, space, system, design, distribution and other issues in the productive overlap between the two disciplines. We curate a diverse range of presentations, from research students and established academics to architecture and planning practitioners, policy makers, public artists and those working in the world between theory, buildings and the city.


The 2008 program is presented by RMIT Architecture and Design and Federation Square.

For all enquiries, contact the curators: Esther Anatolitis and Dr Hélène Frichot. New to the series as guest curator in 2008 is Chelle Macnaughtan. about the curators
