Occupy



26 - 30 September







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.

Our 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.

Why Brisbane?


Brisbane offers a diverse context; it features many climatic and ecological concerns shared by many post-industrial societies.

Brisbane is a banal city with large ambitions to be a new world centre.
With the realisation of the 2032 Olympics, we must discuss what happens next.




Occupy is the gathering of tools + precedents to do more (and sometimes less)  with tomorrow
