TIME FOR DRAWING - Time for coming to our senses, time for experiencing architecture.
A talk by Rena Czaplinska
“I believe that to build a life sustaining society we need to use our minds and we need to use our creative intuition. Fundamental to this approach is to work from direct experience allowing time and space for a feeling response. Our responsibility as architects is to come back to our senses and to tune our bodies. Drawing and somatic training may provide these skills and experiences. “ Rena Czaplinska
Rena Czaplinska is an Australian architect who specializes in sustainable and healthy building design. She teaches design and drawing at University of Sydney and conducts popular drawing workshops. Her teaching method called Embodying Vision integrates sketching mindfulness and movement.

NSS3: New Futures for Heritage Buildings: Responsible Adaptation, Additions and Reuse
Elizabeth Vines OAM FRAIA M.ICOMOS
It is said that in the near future 50% of architects' work will be to existing buildings: these seminars consider the important work of the architect in bringing new roles and new life to existing structures - all part of a sustainable agenda. The seminars will show relevant examples of adaptive re-use, and also of new architecture in historic precincts, and will discuss the principles behind their success. Each seminar session will conclude with a forum to review specific local issues.
