extra/ordinary

22 - 24 April 2010, Sydney

extra/ordinary will dwell on the culture of the extraordinarily ordinary. As an antidote to the incessant abstractions of globalisation, we will be gathering together those who have an enthusiasm for engaging with the contingency of the everyday: inventing new ways of operating; embracing collaborative approaches and initiating direct action on the ground. Producing outcomes that are innovative and utilitarian, provocative and pragmatic. Resolving ordinary problems in extraordinary ways.

Important message to all delegates

Due to the unprecedented European flight disruptions caused by Iceland’s volcanic eruption, it is likely that some of our international conference speakers will not be presenting in person at this year’s 2010 National Architecture’s Conference, extra/ordinary.

However, thanks to the wonders of technology, the Institute has worked incredibly hard over recent days to ensure that all speakers should still be able to participate fully in the conference - if not in person then via live satellite link. Of course, every effort will continue to be made to have every speaker present if possible.

The program will remain as outlined and no changes are anticipated at this stage.

We look forward to your attendance at what will now be an even more extra/ordinary conference.
