PUBLIC DEBATE

PERCEPTION in Architecture. HERE and NOW.
27-28 June 2014

For this Symposium ANCB in collaboration with Dr. Claudia Perren, University of Sydney/ Designated Director Bauhaus Dessau, invited comprehensive investigations by academics, artists, architects, designers and curators to reflect upon new spatial concepts and thus access ‘new spaces’ of definitions and perspectives, strategies and processes of perception in architecture.
