MTalks—Assemble Papers Symposium: What would an Open City Look Like?

Following the release of Assemble Papers's print edition (#10: ‘Housing’, available all season at MPavilion 2018), the AP team (editor Jana Perkovic with Eugenia Lim, Cat McGauran and Vlad Doudakliev) hosted a series of panel sessions exploring the intersection between the way we experience, design and plan for a lively and equitable city. Panel three: What would an open city look like? What would an open city look like? How will we grow old together? Who has the right to the city—and how can this right be more equally shared and distributed in future? From embedding Indigenous knowledge, culture and connection to place into the DNA of contemporary architecture to design with and for a diverse and ageing population, return and hear from active thinkers working towards more people-centred cities. Speakers: Sarah Lynn Rees (Palawa/Plangermaireener, Indigenous Architecture and Design Victoria, MPavilion, JCB Architects), Jane Caught (Sibling Architecture) and Bree Trevena (Arup)
