SAHANZ: AUCKLAND 96 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

CALL FOR PAPERS The 1996 Conference of SAHANZ (Society of Architectural Historians Australia and New Zealand) will take place at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, between Wednesday 2-Sunday 6 October 1996. The theme will be:

Loyalty and Disloyalty in the Architecture of the British Empire and Commonwealth

The Conference will address architecture, town planning, landscape, and interior design. A wide range of methodologies is encouraged as well as speakers from diverse backgrounds, historians and practitioners. Three broad areas will be acknowledged and/or questioned: the emphasis of British ties through architecture; the fragmentation of these ties through the adaptation of diverse models (such as the turning to US or Scandinavian prototypes in the 1950s); the present state of British architectural reference and the manner in which the increased awareness of indigenous architectural forms (Maori and Pacific Islands in New Zealand for example) now represent a new 'loyalty'.

A complementary open session will allow for papers on all aspects of Architectural History outside the Conference theme proper. This will allow those engaged in diverse research fields to present their material, or research-in-progress reports, to an interested, and qualified, audience.

Papers titles with 200 word abstract to be submitted by 1 July 1996.
