Re-imagining the Artefact
The 2021 AHRA conference will question what ‘region’ and ‘regional’ mean for architectural cultures past and present, and will speculate on the different forms and formulations they might take in the future.
In addition to the academic debate, this year we are excited to announce a student design competition for provocative and speculative design proposals that reimagine a regional artefact into an architectural proposition.

- How is that definition/perspective embodied in a regional artefact?
- How can you deconstruct, translate and reimagine this regional artefact into a spatial environment?
- What new purpose will your reconstructed artefact serve?
