About the Centenary Symposium, 2-3 August 2018
The Sydney Centennial series focuses on defining the role of architecture, design and planning for ensuring a sustainable future of our planet. The series is an acknowledgement of the fact that we will likely not be here in 100 years when the next Centennial event takes place, and thus need to collaborate not only within and across our disciplines but also across generations to ensure that the planet and humanity will still exist in 2118.
The first symposium as part of this series will be held to coincide with the Centenary celebrations of the University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning. The symposium will draw on the notion of cathedral thinking to explore how we can design for the next century. Using this framework, the symposium focuses on finding “a far-reaching vision, a well thought-out blueprint, and a shared commitment to long-term implementation” for the next century.
