The Consciousness of Architecture and The Will of the Architect

 

As we try to come to terms with the ethical and environmental issues of our time there is an urgency in our struggle to understand the nature and limits of consciousness. Is consciousness restricted to human life, or does it extend into the life and world around us?

This thought-provoking discussion on architecture and design, attempts to navigate the ethical and environmental challenges of whether consciousness extends beyond human life to the natural world and our creations.

Following a series of sold-out events in Sydney, this captivating evening—sparked by Richard Francis-Jones’ book Truth and Lies in Architecture — is in Brisbane for one night only. We have invited some of Brisbane’s leading architects and designers to delve into and debate the intersection of consciousness and architecture.
