Located on the banks of the Maiwar, the Congress makes its way back to Brisbane. Occupy is a platform for dialogue on what it means to be an architect today Meanjin/Brisbane is the rich field where platforms are placed. The emphasis is to look through a lens of ‘context’ and the inherent dilemma this has in achieving good architecture.
What is the Congress?
Aim:
To congress over what it means to be an architect today, and to compile a list of resources/ tools to do better* with tomorrow.
We are interested in agonism (positive outcomes through tough conversations), Honesty and understanding how we can be doing be more* and sometimes less.
Better for the end user, Better for the 98%, Better for Context, Better for Climate, Better
