HotHouse is a two-day think-tank bringing together world-leading creative thinkers, designers, artists, curators, academics, philosophers, urban planners and architects to develop models for the sustainable transformation of urban environments.
HotHouse calls upon art and design to offer visionary and practical means of transforming urban environments in ways that are community based, energising and enduring. The HotHouse symposium at Sydney Opera House will stimulate new art and design projects, connections and collaborations.

There are over 20 local and international speakers involved including world-leading innovator Bruce Mau (live from Chicago), major European/Asian biennale curator
Hou Hanru, leading environmental art curator Michaela Crimmin, US academic Adrian Parr and Tony Fry, Director of Team D/E/S and founder of the EcoDesign Foundation.
The HotHouse website is now LIVE!

More than just a website, it is a place for exchanging ideas, reading the program, connecting with other HotHousers or taking part in the urban sketch lab.

HotHouse is an initiative of the National Institute for Experimental Arts [NIEA] at UNSW in association with Object: Australian Centre for Craft and Design, and the City of Sydney.
