Organisers: Mercu Buana University (Indonesia)
and University of Tasmania (Australia)
CONFERENCE THEME
Traditions and modernity, east and west, local identity and global
integration, regionalism and internationalism: these dichotomies
have been discussed for decades, but they have never been so
urgently relevant as they are today in the fastest growing
region of the world. In Southeast Asia and the Asia Pacific
regional, rapidly expanding modernisation compels both practitioners
and theorists to respond to these issues which affect all areas
of research, teaching, design practice and decision making
related to the built environment.
This conference, jointly organised by schools of architecture at
Mercu Buana University and the University of Tasmania, will
involve professionals, scholars, policy makers and the broader
community in the region and beyond. The conference is a multi-
disciplinary event that will address the many issues surrounding
the relationship between traditions and modernity in contemporary
architectural practice. The purpose of this conference is to
open up debate on these issues and help formulate practices and
polices that reflect these critical concerns in anticipation of
new architectural and urban forms in the century to come.
