Forum: Found in Translation

Registration for this event has now closed. For ticket enquiries please contact: information@robinboyd.org.au

Japanese societies have always placed a premium on space. As a result, generations of Australian designers have looked to Japan as a laboratory of spatial invention. A spatially inventive architect, Robin Boyd was drawn to both the traditional architecture of Japan and the novel ideas of his late-Modern Japanese contemporaries.

Presented by the Robin Boyd Foundation and curated in collaboration with David Neustein, Director, Other Architects, the Forum will explore the translation of Japanese architecture into an Australian context, shedding light on common interests and shared themes such as hybrid households, ageing populations, urban greening and climate adaptation. Local, interstate and international speakers exploring these new directions will include:

Mio Tsuneyama, Studio  mnm (Tokyo) Keynote Speaker
Ayano Toki + Yohei Omura, Parafeeld (Brisbane)
Ben Berwick, Prevalent (Sydney/Newcastle)
Dan Hill, Melbourne School of Design (Melbourne)
David Neustein, Other Architects (Sydney)
James Jamison, Niimori Jamison (Melbourne)
Louise Wright, Baracco+Wright (Melbourne)
Marika Neustupny, NMBW Architecture (Melbourne)
