Currently more than half the world’s population live in urban areas, which is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. However, less than 3% of the world’s land mass is urbanized. Public open spaces \u2013 likened to the lungs of the city \u2013 become ever more important, as they act as outdoor living rooms for socialization and cultural events. Architectural theorist Stan Allen describes the importance of forms, but moreover, the forms between things. This seminar is about how the in-between or interstitial space both within a building as well as between buildings, and indeed, the intersection between architecture and the city, becomes a critical medium to address current issues relating to urbanization, diversity, and environmental impacts. With architectural design teaching and practice spanning Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Nepal, different tactics and strategies of the in-between will be discussed to question conventional interpretations about space and suggest innovative alternatives and spatial experiences drawing from various design studios as well as professional and research initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
