8 June: Public Event
The symposium will start with a special event, a half-day open for both symposium participants and practitioners in the field, focusing on the importance of space syntax for architectural practice. Cutting edge examples from practice will be presented as well as reflections on the subject from invited guests. Invited as speaker from the side of practice is Jean Nouvel (Ateliers Jean Nouvel) and from the side of theory Erik Stolterman (Indiana University School of Informatics). Both have confirmed that they will come.

The day will have the most complex architectural project in Stockholm as point of departure: Slussen, which has been subject to extensive space syntax analysis. The architects currently competing on the project: Foster and partners (UK), Jean Nouvel (FR), BIG (DK), Nyrén (SE), Wingårdhs (SE) are invited to partake in a debate on the future of architectural knowledge.

Key-note speakers
Apart from featured speakers from the space syntax field special guests of importance to the field are invited. Of those invited Dr. Apostolos P. Georgopoulus, Director of the Brain Sciences Center, University of Minnesota have already accepted the invitation and confirmed that he will come.

Presentation sessions
Since accepted papers will be possible to download before the start of the symposium, the organisers will in collaboration with the chairs of the different presentation sessions prepare these to create the best possible conditions for rewarding end discussions of the sessions.

Thematic seminar
A new form of event is the thematic seminar where central themes in space syntax are given a platform for deeper discussion and reflection. Academics from related fields with knowledge of space syntax are invited to help prepare these sessions. As preparation for these seminars they will present a paper on their view of space syntax and its relation to their own field, accessible at the web site before the symposium start. They will also propose guests they believe can contribute to a constructive discussion. Participants from the space syntax community will also be invited to this discussion.

Contacts have been taken with leading academics at the departments of Sociology at the University of Uppsala, Economic Geography at the Stockholm School of Economics and Traffic Planning at KTH. Other contacts are under hand.
