Description

This tour will be guided by Open House Melbourne’s Ambassador and the original host of Grand Designs Australia, Peter Maddison. It will focus on discovering the city’s contemporary and historic architectural gems and the personalities that have created them.

Peter’s deep knowledge of the built environment will bring an expert lens to this guided walk and shed light on the design elements that contribute to the public life and vibrancy of our city.

Starting at The Evan Walker bridge, the walk will stop at Fed Square, then thread its way to Spring Street towards the Parliamentary Precinct before finishing up at ICI House.
