A panel discussion with the three speakers, led by Professor Edquist, will follow.

The afternoon’s session is convened by Dr Norrie, with six pioneering women designers from Tasmania and interstate, presenting a particular aspect of their practice in a series of rapid-fire short presentations.   A round table discussion will follow to discuss how their various practices explore new paradigms,  create emergent design ecosystems, and the value of working collectively to create new ecosystems that support diverse design futures.

• Vanessa Ward: systems-led regenerative design

• Simone Bliss: landscape architect
