Call for abstracts: Australian Architecture Conference 2023

The Australian Institute of Architects is inviting submissions for oral presentations at the 2023 Australian Architecture Conference (formerly National Architecture Conference).

Themed "precedent," the conference will explore the idea of "how looking back will help us face forward."

"After decades of dire predictions, the 2020s have arrived with rolling crises - health, climate, security. We are saturated with claims of 'unprecedented times,' assertions that this is the end of business as usual," the Institute said. "As a profession, architects are uniquely positioned to use this global inflection point to create a more sustainable and more equitable future."

The Institute is calling for proposals for 25-minute presentations on the topics of: the built environment, the construction industry, sustainable living, education, caring for Country, and big ideas about the future of architecture.

Submissions close on 1 May 2023.

The 2023 Australian Architecture Conference will be held in Canberra from 29 to 31 October at Australian National University, Kambri Cultural Centre.
