Traditional Architecture and Urbanism
The Architects Association is pleased to invite architects, academics and associated professionals to its inaugural conference, Architecture of Continuity, taking place from 10 and 11 March 2027 in Hobart, Tasmania.
The conference will explore the enduring principles of beautiful, locally characteristic and sustainable buildings and settlements and their relevance today.
The conference will be dedicated to the memory of Leon Krier, whose work and writings have profoundly influenced the revival of traditional architecture and urbanism internationally.
Programme
The programme is being developed around traditional and classical architecture, vernacular building traditions, craftsmanship, traditional materials and construction methods, architectural education, and the design of beautiful and enduring towns and cities.
Presentations, discussions and opportunities for professional exchange will draw on Australian, New Zealand, Pacific and international experience.
Confirmed speakers so far include
- Nadia Everard, chair and founder of La Table Ronde de l’Architecture (France)
- Michael Diamant, urban sociologist and founder of Architectural Uprising (Sweden)
- Michael Suttie, architect (Australia)
- Daniel Skinner, writer and architectural designer (Australia)
- Jiri Lev, architect and president of The Architects Association (Australia)
The conference will open on 10 March at 1pm and run until late, with presentations paused for a formal dinner. We will reconvene the following morning and close with a luncheon.
Following the conference we will undertake an optional one-and-half-day tour across Tasmania’s architectural heritage.
The conference aims to offer up to 10 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD), subject to programme confirmation and applicable professional requirements.
