Abstract
This paper examines the cinematic apparatus (dispositif) of Fiona Tan. Drawing on the works of Gilles Deleuze, it analyses the four main dimensions such as visibility, enunciation, power and the self, as well as possibilities for new dimensions, which are created by a state of crisis, since it is such a state Fiona Tan explores in her works: Orientalism and Occidentalism, home and exile, stillness and motion, face and head, landscapes and figures etc. Then, based on the findings of this research, the author will discuss in more detail two themes in the philosophy of dispositifs ? singular processes discovered and the issue of newness and creativity as opposed to history and archive. In conclusion the author will outline how the research on the cinematic apparatus of Fiona Tan can contribute to understanding not only the idea of the ?visual? in the visual arts but also a turn to the cinematic in contemporary art.

Revitalising Cultural Precincts in Victoria - enriching our urban and cultural fabrics Abstract: Cultural precincts make an immeasurable contribution to maintaining the rich fabric of Melbournes diverse multicultural communities. They create a focal point for community histories to be recorded, traditions preserved and celebration of language and culture. Using the example of the Cultural Precincts Enhancement Fund, Mr Lekakis will explore the approach Victoria has taken in the enhancement of three of Melbournes most significant precincts - the Italian Lygon Street, the Greek Lonsdale Street and the Chinese Little Bourke Street precincts. this paper will explore the strategies developed to ensure these three cultural precincts are developed to retain their significance in the community and maintain their financial viability. A ?whole-of-life approach has been adopted in planning for the precincts redevelopment that recognises their history, culture, service to the community and their environmental characteristics so as to strengthen their sustainability and attractiveness for investment, cultural and become appealing tourist centres. Mr Lekakis will discuss the governance framework established to operate the Fund and the critical role community engagement and local government partnerships have has played since the inception of the Fund.

Abstract
The freeway is a global model for vehicular movement. It is designed to enable efficiency and alleviate congestion. The freeway is a dominant urban form within almost every major city throughout the world. This paper identifies design strategies and implementation processes that can increase pedestrian accessibility and improve urban amenity within the context of existing freeway structures. The application of this infrastructure within established urban environments necessitates the removal of large areas of existing urban fabric to accommodate an elevated structure. This process typically results in spaces under freeways, or undercrofts, which are ?negative spaces in the fullest sense of the term. They are often empty, liminal spaces; void of a clearly a defined programme, lacking any meaningful connection the formal language or social conditions of the previously contiguous urban fabric. This paper addresses the emerging need for freeway undercroft spaces to connect with, and contribute to, their adjacent environments and examines the critical role of the pedestrian experience in delivering such transformations. This paper will examine a current undercroft conversion project in the Southbank neighbourhood of central Melbourne, Australia. Formerly an industrial area, the neighbourhood has been the subject of dramatic transformation into a high residential environment, bisected by an elevated freeway infrastructure. This paper will also compare and discuss other recent global examples of undercroft transformations. Common to the projects explored is an aspiration to reclaim undercroft spaces for public benefit in the process of ?restitching severed or ?disconnected urban fabric through pedestrian oriented activity.

Abstract
The exhibition ? Masks of Time? aims to interpret the real physical context of time and place and the dramatic character of the Parthenon architectural sculptures ? carriers of a multitude of mythical and symbolic meanings, inseparable from Attica, home place of Gods and Heroes from time immemorial. As the light of Attica reveals its dramatic topography and brings about the sensation of authenticity and timelessness, so the ancient Athenians, depicted on the Panathenaic frieze, embody for us the humanistic message of an elevated collective consciousness in a timeless dialogue with the spirit of the locality. Accordingly, the Panathenaic procession becomes a prime theme in discussing the Parthenon and its sculptural adornments and the Parthenon Frieze is presented as a culmination of a meaningfully composed visual narrative.

Abstract
South East Queensland, the fastest growing metropolitan region of Australia, is undergoing significant change. The state government is responding to these challenges with regional planning policies requiring more efficient land use, via urban consolidation. Regional planning policy recognises that a range and mix of dwelling types will be necessary to achieve liveable, sustainable, compact urbanisation. this paper will investigate a range of typologies for medium and high density developments for subtropical and tropical climates. These typologies have been developed through collaborative research projects by the Centre for Subtropical Design, a partnership between Brisbane City Council, Queensland University of Technology and the Department of Infrastructure and Planning. Design exemplars have the potential to deliver significant benefits in terms of affordability, sustainable living and market appeal. The aim of the Subtropical Rowhouse Charrette and the Subtropical Urban Communities projects was to develop design principles and prototypes for medium and high density developments. Via a workshop process, design-led multi-disciplinary teams focused on the problem intensively over a short period, supported by technical advisors representing key consultants and stakeholders. Prototypes were assessed against the Green Building Council of Australia Green Star -Multi Unit Residential PILOT rating tool, providing design teams with a methodical basis for decision making on ecologically sustainable development (ESD) issues. this paper will analyse the outputs of the workshops and the challenges of increasing residential density in a traditionally low density metropolitan region.
