Indigenous Architectures: Transforming & Transformed Symposium brings together a stellar cast of Indigenous architects and academics from Canada, New Zealand, the Pacific and Australia alongside their non-Indigenous colleagues, to discuss the transformation, application and investigation of contemporary Indigenous architectures.

Aboriginal Cultural Landscape Walking Tours offers guests a unique urban Aboriginal experience of the cultural landscape of Brisbane City, South Brisbane and Highgate Hill.

This event offers the public a chance to virtually tour two versions of Brisbane’s oldest standing building – the Heritage listed Old Windmill Tower on Wickham Terrace. UQ researchers and students have used 3D laser scanning to capture the fine details of the Old Windmill Tower inside and out, and created a virtual reality (VR) version that you can navigate through and examine in detail. The historic graffiti, stone colour and texture, timber detailing and central stairs have all been included so you can experience the rare pleasure of being in the windmill tower, even when you can’t visit in person.
