2005 Conference - ARCHITECTURAL HUMANITIES RESEARCH ASSOCIATION
"Models and Drawings: The invisible nature of architecture"
The AHRA Annual International Conference is being held at the University of Nottingham on November 18th-19th 2005. The event is convened by Leverhulme Visiting Professor Marco Frascari, (Director of the School of Architecture at Carleton University, Ottawa), who will also be in residence at Nottingham's School of the Built Environment for four months in 2006.
The conference features an exciting line-up of invited speakers and over 40 individual
research papers, including: Marco Frascari (Carleton University), Don Ihde (SUNY Stony Brook), Alberto
Perez-Gomez (McGill University), Agostino De Rosa (lUAV, Venice), Jane Rendell and Jonathan Hill (The Bartlett, UCL), Judith Mottram (Nottingham Trent University).The conference will address the various relationships between drawings and buildings under four key themes: The tendency of architectural representations to become 'models' for imitation; the claim of new imaging technologies to make visible the previously unseen; the cognitive spatial implications of traditional imaging practices relative to CAD; the critical potential of the architectural image.

Two dedicated sessions on 'Interdisciplinary Imaging' will take place on the afternoon of Friday 18th, culminating in a keynote address by Professor Don Ihde at 6:00pm in the Sustainable Research Building.
