Donald Bates, Hamish Lyon and Andrew Mackenzie have partnered to explore the changing role of risk in architecture for this year’s National Architecture Conference, which takes place in Melbourne, 14-16 May, 2015.

‘No one wants to be a safe architect; to be conventional and predictable. Yet what client would choose the risk of the unknown over the safety of the known?

‘Risk explores this troubled nexus; between the professional necessity to take calculated and creative risks and a world incapacitated by risk minimisation,’ the creative team said.

The conference focuses on four aspects of risk within the profession: risks related to cultural relevance, architectural pedagogy, professional practice and the discipline of architecture.

The conference brings together a range of keynote speakers from Europe, America, Asia and Australia, and, in an effort to expand the conversation outside of the profession, from across the built environment professions.

Speakers confirmed include:

• Thomas Bailey, Room 11 (Aus)
• Camilla Block, Durbach Block Jaggers Architects (Aus)
