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. TOPICS - Traditional architecture and urbanism in Southeast Asia, East Asia, the Pacific and related regions Social, cultural and theoretical aspects of traditional architecture and urbanism in the regions - Conservation of built forms of historical value - Contextual planning and design in relation to traditional forms and activities - Current cultural and theoretical issues in architecture and urbanism Current design strategies in architecture - Curren planning strategies and policies in urbanism - Practical aspects of architectural and planning practices today and other relevant topics SCHEDULE 15 October 1996: Deadline for receipt of final papers 9-11 December 1996: Presentation of papers PUBLICATION Conference papers will be published and available at the conference.
