EmAGN: Public Places

Muir x Openwork / Wardle x Oculus

Description

In partnership with the Australian Institute of Architects’ Emerging Architects and Graduates Network and Open House Melbourne, EmAGN: Public Places will explore a series of selected projects of a singular typology. Through guided site visits, architects, designers, builders and clients will share insights into the complexities of the design and construction process, with a focus on how a project contributes to the public life of the city.

This event will provide an opportunity for Open House Melbourne participants to experience a guided tour of a series of public places with the designers behind them. It is intended that participants will gain a greater understanding of the intricacies within the design and building process, and provide an educational opportunity for emerging architects, graduates, students and of course, enthusiasts of architecture.

What's On

This event will highlight two different approaches to a public project. It will focus on sharing architects and designers' unique understanding of public architecture and seek to find connections between the projects through consecutive visits.

Our tour will start at Muir and Openwork’s Family Violence Memorial before taking a short walk down to Wardle and Oculus’ Tanderrum Bridge. Architects and landscape architects will give a tour of each project before a short comparative talk.
