The UI: 2007 Colloquium Publication has been published and will be disseminated to the participants. This publication is the result of the discussion from the colloquium held 5 October 2007. The publication consists of a set of cards that act as a creative tool. Not only is the publication a reminder of the day's discussion, but also as a device to create new relationships between the research themes of Urban Interior.
This is the first in a proposed annual colloquia convened by the RMIT School of Architecture and Design's research group, Urban Interior. Each UI member has recommended someone external to the University whose area of expertise is aligned with their research. It is an opportunity for UI members to present current research and engage this research in discussion with invited guests with a view to testing ideas and incubating potential, collaborative research projects.
