Large-scale societal shifts, such as globalization, digitalization, migration and climate change, have led to the refiguration of spaces as heterogeneous, overlapping and often conflicting orders. Over the past seven years, the CRC has played a leading role in researching these dynamics. This conference will explore the influence of spatial refiguration on design, and consider how design can encourage innovative thinking to address the growing complexity of socio-spatial change. Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners, the conference will feature a dynamic mix of keynote lectures, thematic panels, and roundtables to encourage inter- and transdisciplinary dialogue and reconsider the practical relevance of refiguration research.
Confirmed speakers include Deane Simpson, Jane Rendell, Georgeen Theodore, Gabu Heindl and Drehli Robnik.
The conference will be accompanied by the exhibition “Investigating Refiguration”, which will be open to view throughout the conference days.
