do the changes in intellectual/ cultural paradigms relate to architectural practice? What did the process of
design consist of and how did it originate? What is the relationship between architectural design and/or drawing/painting, 
as well as mathematics? We invite proposals that investigate all aspects of the architectural profession in Early 
Modern Europe. Please submit an abstract of no more than 150 words and a short CV to Dr. Angeliki Pollali

THE VIENNESE CAFE AS AN URBAN SITE OF CULTURAL EXCHANGE




17-18 Oct 2008  Victoria and Albert Museum and Royal College of Art, LONDON. "As today, the cafes of

were as much to do with intellectual and social interaction as with procuring refreshment. This conference will focus 
on the complexities of the Viennese cafë as an urban space in order to better understand wider questions about 
Viennese modernism. Through its focus on the cafë, the conference aims to redefine our understanding not only of the 
arts in Vienna, but also of modernity more generally. The conference encourages a cross-disciplinary approach to 
subjects and welcomes proposals for papers from scholars and practitioners in any field...We invite abstracts of 400 
words to be submitted electronically to Dr Charlotte Ashby (charlotte.ashby@rca.ac.uk). The deadline for submissions
