Practice principal Penny Collins will join leading architects from Australia and around the world as a presenter at the Design Speaks’ upcoming Architecture Symposium program, on the 24th November.

The symposium will comprise four distinct sessions each looking at the future of living through a different lens: alternative housing models, the integration of social agendas, emerging directions in market-based housing and compact housing. Participants can choose to take part in just one, or all or the sessions, which will be accessible online.

The curators of The Architecture Symposium: Housing Futures, Hannah Tribe and Andrew Burns, have selected contemporary architects whose projects respond creatively to the spectrum of housing challenges and opportunities.

“We have, as a profession, an opportunity to step confidently from turbulent times into a future where we take the lead on the transformation of the urban, suburban and regional residential environment,” said Tribe and Burns. “The Architecture Symposium will highlight projects that are already doing so, opening directions for the profession and stimulating new ways of living.”

Penny will present our ongoing work with Habilis, a not for profit organisation established to build permanent housing for people who have experienced homelessness as a result of schizophrenia.
