This seminar, scheduled on September 16, 2025, was part of the activities developed by Johan Lagae during his 3 week research stay as a visiting scholar at the ACAHUCH (Australian Centre for Architectural History, Urban and Cultural Heritage), Melbourne School of Design, University of Melboure, Australia, at the initiative of prof. Philip Goad & prof. Julie Willis (head of the school). During the seminar, in which around 10 local reseachers participated, the goal of the EOS-project was presented and some of its outcomes discussed using the project’s website as a tool of communication. Connections with ongoing research at the Melbourne School of Design were discussed.
