A one-day symposium organised by Craig Buckley, Discrepant Circulations looked at the differentiation of mobilities in architecture by means of social, technical, and aesthetic practice. At a critical moment for academic discourse speakers considered how concepts of circulation are being transformed by changing techniques for the opening and closing of boundaries; how they set people, information, and things in motion, and conversely, how they may bring them to a halt. Tim Anstey was invited to give the keynote lecture for the event. He presented the concluding chapter of his recent book Things that Move, A Hinterland in Architectural History (MIT Press, 2024), contextualising a story of the 1930s infrastructure contruction within the themes of this contemporary conference. OCCAS PhD-fellow Alena Rieger presented the paper “Movables”.
