ASAC: What is it?

The Biennial Australasian Student Architecture Congress—known as ASAC—has been a pivotal moment in the early careers of the next generation of Australian and New Zealand architects.

Starting off in the 1960s as a series of informal mass gatherings of students, ASAC has since become an established conference, visiting cities in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea at least 30 times. For the first time since 1999, the Australasian Student Architecture Congress (ASAC) will be heading to Sydney in 2017.

Past congresses have included: 2015: Melbourne, PEOPLE 2013: Newcastle, NEXUS 2011: Adelaide, FLUX 2009: Canberra, RE:HAB 2007: Wellington, CTRLSHIFT

ASAC: What is it?

This year’s congress—titled AGENCY2017—will see approximately 400 students from all over Australasia designing, debating and learning through a week long community congress.

Central to AGENCY2017 will be a series of events including: workshops, design/build studios, lectures and debates.

Agency will be attended by invited academics, designers, architects and students from around the world.

The congress will provide a space for architecture students to network, collaborate and be exposed to issues facing broader society and the profession.

In the spirit of congresses past, AGENCY2017 will be a “lived agency”: a community living true to the values of the future we desire to create. It will act as a beacon of hope and optimism for the incoming future generation of architects.

The 2017 Sydney Architecture Congress will be run on a voluntary basis driven by student passion, relying on sponsorship and industry support to make it happen.

“ A building is no longer something to use, but to own…once discovered as a form of capital, there is no choice for buildings but to operate according to the logic of capital” Reinier de Graaf, Architectural Review April 2015 In light of rapid globalisation, architecture’s role as cultural, social and artistic expression has become secondary to becoming a means of generating financial return. It is worth whatever someone else is willing to pay for it.

In Sydney, median house prices have skyrocketed to over $1,000,000, while median apartments are now worth over $650,000. This has presented challenges for equitable housing access, placed enormous difficulty on cultural and artistic production and risks displacing communities with their sense of place.

Within the constraints of impatient capital, creative, social and economic AGENCY becomes a profound act of optimism.

AGENCY2017: Theme

AGENCY2017 will question the centre and boundaries of the status-quo, seeking ideas from designers, artists, developers and policy-makers to ensure equitable access to the rich cultural life of the global city.

The themes we aim to address at the congress include...

Why making matters: Why we build (and why you should too) / What could an architectural start-up culture look like? / Is the modern architecture student fit for practice? / What is the expanding role of future practice? / Re-inventing traditional materials for modern architecture / What is the role of history, culture, art and ethics in the face of rapid economic change? / Architects and Developers: mobilising capital for socially, economically and environmentally responsible design outcomes // >

The Architecture Congress Spirit would not exist today without industry generosity and contributions over the past 54 years.

We’re seeking opportunities to connect with like-minded future defining brands/firms who will help us realise AGENCY17. Our congress partners and sponsors will have the unique opportunity to connect with the incoming generation of future architects and designers.

As a not-for-profit organisation, Congress relies on the invaluable support of our partners and sponsors. Without them, AGENCY17 would not be possible.

There are two avenues for support: Programme Partners Primary sponsors of keynote series, workshops, and social functions.
