Artists
Week (Adelaide Festival of Arts
2004) included a day devoted to
architecture.
The Architecture Symposium focused on the sensual, sensory and sustainable nature of architecture, and examined some of the innovative ways architects are seeking to define new approaches to practice in the face of global change. Keynote speakers were Italian architectural theorist, Professor Marco Frascari and UK architect Sarah Wigglesworth.
A 'two course' panel of nationally significant practitioners - Timothy Hill, Kerstin Thompson, Peter Tonkin and Stephen Loo - as well as cultural commentator Alan Saunders and celebrated cook Stefano de Pieri looked at how architects can make their work rich, responsible and regionally appropriate using ideas from gastronomy, alchemy and everyday life.
The Symposium was sponsored by the South Australian Government Department for
Environment and Heritage, and curated by Senior Lecturer in Architecture
Rachel Hurst. See also the
