Multicultural Architecture, a two-day workshop was hosted by the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation (ADI), Deakin University in October 2018. The premise of the workshop convened by Mirjana Lozanovska, Louise Johnson, and Michele Lobo was that although migrant architecture has evolved and existed throughout the history of Australian society, it is yet to be integrated into symbolic narratives of national belonging. The workshop brought together an interdisciplinary nation-wide team of scholars, planners, policy makers, architects, and representatives from public institutions to think about the possibilities for a revised and more inclusive architectural history. It followed on from the successful 2017 Symposium titled Aesthetic Anxiety that focused on encounters with migrant architecture. This time, however, we were joined by Samer Akkach (University of Adelaide), Dijana Alic (UNSWSydney), Daniel Grinceri (University of Western Australia) and Iris Levin (Swinburne University) who provided novel scholarly insights. The tone of the workshop began developing when Lozanovska invited participants to join her in thinking theoretically about the concept of taxonomy and how it could be applied in classifying migrant architecture. Through a focus on design, form, typology, function, and ethnicity, interesting questions emerged that moved the discussion beyond the multiculturalism of food and festivals. This theoretical thinking was followed by a convivial train journey to Dandenong, one of the most culturally diverse suburbs in Melbourne and indeed, Australia. We were met by Jenny Pemberton-Webb, Place Manager of Activity Centres Revitalisation Team, City of Greater Dandenong who organised the day and provided comprehensive insights into policy initiatives. Together with Phin Murphy, a member of landscape architects commissioned by Local Council for the State supported $290 million Revitalising Central Dandenong Project, they articulated how the local community’s shared vision of place could be materialised through the process of design thinking.

墨尔本迪肯大学多元文化建筑工作室

多元文化建筑，为期两天的研讨会由迪肯大学阿尔弗雷德迪肯公民与全球化研究所 (ADI) 于 2018 年 10 月主办。 Mirjana Lozanovska、Louise Johnson 和 Michele Lobo 召集的研讨会的前提是，尽管移民建筑它在澳大利亚社会的整个历史中不断演变和存在，但尚未融入民族归属感的象征性叙事中。研讨会汇集了一个由学者、规划师、政策制定者、建筑师和公共机构代表组成的跨学科全国团队，思考修订和更具包容性的建筑史的可能性。继 2017 年成功举办的名为“审美焦虑”的研讨会之后，该研讨会的重点是与移民建筑的相遇。然而这一次，加入我们的还有 Samer Akkach（阿德莱德大学）、Dijana Alic（悉尼新南威尔士大学）、Daniel Grinceri（西澳大利亚大学）和 Iris Levin（斯威本大学），他们提供了新颖的学术见解。当 Lozanovska 邀请参与者与她一起从理论上思考分类学的概念以及如何将其应用于移民建筑分类时，研讨会的基调开始发展。通过对设计、形式、类型、功能和种族的关注，出现了有趣的问题，使讨论超越了食物和节日的多元文化。这一理论思考之后是前往丹德农的愉快火车之旅，丹德农是墨尔本乃至澳大利亚文化最多元化的郊区之一。活动中心振兴团队的地方经理 Jenny Pemberton-Webb 会见了我们，大丹德农市组织了这一天并提供了对政策举措的全面见解。与国家地方委员会委托的景观设计师 Phin Murphy 一起支持了 2.9 亿美元的振兴中央丹德农项目，他们阐明了如何通过设计思维过程实现当地社区对地方的共同愿景。
