Glitch: the Construction of the Architectural Image

22 March 2018

Melbourne, VIC, Australia

Melbourne Design Week presents Glitch, a symposium that examines the slippages between architecture URL and IRL by bringing together photographers, image-makers, architects, critics and historians to look at our changing relationship to the architectural image. It asks: how new image-making technologies enable the construction of new types of images and architectural experiences; how architectural image-making can function as a mode of critique; and how the materiality of photography informs our understanding and experience of architecture. With images of architecture circulating the globe rendering memes, banner ads, billboards or fly-throughs, there can be a tremendous gap between render and reality.
