• How can architecture and design protect or reinforce cultural identity in a time of crisis, and how much of a priority should this be?
• Power and justice: how can design express, exervise or influence power and social equity through the preservation and protection of distinct cultural identities
• Virtual worlds: what are the implications for local cultural identities of the entirely new ways of viewing and experiencing place, culture and spectacle?
