There’s an exciting Wine In Design event coming up in Perth on October 15th.
Contemporary is bringing a series of hot-topic panel discussions to the West for an event called Contemporary Wine In Design.
This event will explore innovation, connection and change in architecture and design. I’ve been asked to join the panel to discuss some of the changing practices I saw during my recent European travel.
Through lively discussion participants will exchange views on how their disciplines can respond positively to emerging technologies and practices.
Speakers will be bringing to the table insights from their own local practice as well assessing emerging trends from overseas.
This is going to be an exciting event. If you have a professional interest in design and architecture I recommend you register your attendance. I’d love to see you there.
East v West
What does the West do differently? What is the distinction between the two orientations toward design? What can we learn?
Speakers:
Richard Misso (The Stylesmiths), David Weir (David Weir Architects), Steve Cordony (Arthur G) and David Congram (Contemporary Editor)
Book: East v West
Design Democracy: ! or ?
What does designing for the public sphere actually mean? Is this the only public? In Europe, there is heated debate on the designer-side too. With landmark legislation that attempts to finally do away with ‘the replica’, democracy in design has come full circle to include the producer-side as well. When we talk about democracy in design, just how far-reaching are the ramifications?
Speakers:
Alec Coles OBE (Western Australia Museum, New Museum), Peter Lee (Hassell), David Caon (Caon Studio), Sandy Anghie (Sandy Anghie Home Design), Andrew Thornton Hick (Ultimo)
West-Side Stor(e)y
How important is creating or maintaining an architectural identity? How much of a role should architects and designers have in the story of Perth’s identity?
Speakers: Clinton Matthews (Lantern Creative), Jemma Green (Curtin University), Ben Braham (Ben Braham Architects)
Go West!
What did architects and designers do that has helped make Perth an international destination? How have they done this? Why?
Speakers:
Michael Woodhams and Phillip Griffiths (AIA WA Chapter), Neil Cownie (Neil Cownie Architect), Jack Flanagan (Jack Flanagan)
This is going to be an exciting event so I recommend you Register Your Attendance.
