In April 2004, Ryerson will host an international academic conference entitled Transportable Envi- ronments. This conference will be the third in a series of conferences on portable environments and is being organized and co-chaired by Filiz Klassen of Ryerson University and Dr. Robert Kronenburg from Liverpool University, School of Architecture, UK. Delegates from around the world will examine built and theoretical transportable environments where permanence is either not possible or desir- able. The conference will focus on a variety of topics ranging from portability, adaptability, deployability and the sustainability of built environments to material and technological inno- vations. The purpose of this conference is to search for new interpretations of existing and developing technologies to fulfill requirements that can not be met by the use of existing construction methods and materials. Examples of such environments can vary from refugee camps to high-tech space architecture. The main objective of the conference is to iden- tify and define possible directions for a body of interdisciplinary work connecting design, theory and practice in the conception and making of transportable environments in architecture, inte- riors, industrial design, fashion, urban design, highly engineered structural design, and aero- space engineering. A call for papers from local and international scholars, graduate students, designers and manu- facturers and a two day program along with a presenters’ list will be developed during summer and fall 2003.
