The 2015 conference will begin with an evening welcome reception on Tuesday

the 1st December, followed by 3 full days of cutting edge research from around the globe. Topic areas within the conference are diverse but related to Architecture, Construction, Sustainability, Research and Education of our built environment.

There will be an opportunity to tour our new Melbourne School of Design 6 Star Green Star rated facility that was only com-pleted in October 2014 and represents the highest standard of an Australian sustainable educational facility. Of course there is also the included ‘not to be missed’ conference dinner at a characteristically ‘Melbourne’ venue.

We look forward to hosting you in Melbourne, Australia and at the Melbourne School of Design at the University of Mel-bourne.

LIVING AND LEARNINGRESEARCH FOR A BETTER BUILT ENVIRONMENT

ASA 2015

The 49th annual conference of the Architectural Science Association

(ASA) will be hosted by the Melbourne School of Design, The University of Melbourne, Australia. It will take place in the unique 6 Star Green Star build-ing of the faculty.

The 2015 Architectural Science Association conference, Living and Learning: Research for a Better Built Environment focuses on the multidis-

ciplinary nature of architecture and on the positive outcomes of the collabo-ration between academia, practice and industry. Living and Learning: Research for a Better Built Environment con-nects the internal condition of the built environment with the natural and artificial external processes with the intention of providing holistic technical and design research for a better built environment.

Some highlights . . .

ASA website:

http://asa2015.abp.unimelb.edu.au/

will provide information and updates leading up to the conference

Key themes of conference

• Architecture and environment

• Architecture and social research

• Building and city information modelling

• Buildings and energy

• Built environment performance assessment

• Construction, materials and technology

• Design education and design research

• Environmental and landscape architecture

• Generative, parametric and evolutionary architecture
