This year's theme unpacks the notion of crossing into the unknown in design, architecture, art and science, discussing the boundaries and cultural borders created and traversed through drawing and communication, memory and imagination and collaboration.

In forging a new and previously unknown horizon of possibilities, how can we create relevant means of communication and ways of envisioning boundaries which are productive rather than limiting? How does memory affect the ability to respond to an unknown future? How can new strategies be fostered within the built environment when designing across scales, cultures and differences?

The three sessions will focus on the following themes: Collaboration, Memory and Imagination and Drawing and Communication.

Speakers

Panel of speakers include: Kate Davies, A K Dolven, Efrén Garcia Grinda, Anne Beate Hovind, Hayfa Matar, Rona Meyuchas-Koblenz, Cristina Díaz Moreno, Vicky Richardson, Yara Sharif, Ellie Stathaki, Marina Otero Verzier, Jane Wernick and Yuge Zhou.
