Venue: RMIT, Building 8, 368 Swanston Street, Level 11, Room 68 Time: Friday 09 March 2012, 06:00 PM to 09:00 PM Free admission Supported by: DRI Future Fabric of Cities - Speculative Architecture Laboratory The symposium will explore the role of computation within highly speculative approaches to architectural design. The discussion will address the volatile nature of complex systems and their indeterminacy in opposition to the role of computational design in exercising hierarchical control. The symposium brings together international and local architects and critics who are exploring complex systems of formation. Presentations and panel discussions will include: Andrew Benjamin, Francois Roche, Camille Lacadee, Ezio Blasetti, Anthony Burke, Dave Pigram, Vivian Mitsogianni, Paul Minifie, Pia Ednie-Brown, Tim Schork, Tom Kovac, and Roland Snooks.

The symposium draws together international and Australian architects and landscape architects who have demonstrated commitment to a social agenda and have made significant contribution to the public realm. Curated as a series of interactive lectures and panel discussions the speakers will describe their predominantly built work and real projects that address real problems. Arguably these young practitioners are revising the Modernist ethos that architecture should provide effective solutions that benefit the community and the individual. In a contemporary context their work deals with positive consideration of social engagement, careful analysis of existing conditions and a deliberate, often challenging architectural response. Organized in terms of geographic situation the symposium will explore projects that expand the potential of architectural intervention in the city, the suburbs, the urban fringe, rural towns and remote locations.

RIBA RESEARCH SYMPOSIA Reflection on practice: capturing innovation and creativity RIBA Research Symposium 2007 Jarvis Hall, RIBA, W1 Wednesday 19th September 2007 "The 2007 Research Symposium took its theme from Leon van Schaik's book Mastering Architecture: Becoming a Creative Innovator in Practice. Launching the event, Professor van Schaik's keynote presentation described his international reflective practice research programme. In the programme practitioners acknowledged as innovative examine, before critics and their peers, their own body of work and its impact – and reflect on their ways of working and future directions. For many practitioners, a design approach is implicit and intuitive. But through this programme of reflection and examination, processes become more visible and accessible, and a language emerges to capture them – to the benefit of critics, educators, and the practitioner community. A range of established and up-and-coming UK practitioners responded to the theme by presenting their own recent work to illustrate their design position and the routes they have taken in pursuing innovative practice. The symposium also included examples of action research where designers engage directly with stakeholders to challenge perceptions and to devise creative new solutions in sectors as diverse as healthcare and disaster relief."
