Description

One of Australia’s premier architects, since 1972 Greg Burgess’ practice has focused on the social and ecological relationships between buildings, their environments, and their occupants. In 2020, Burgess donated his substantial working archive – more than four decades of drawings, plans, models and concept sketches – to the University of Melbourne’s Archives and Special Collections.

Gregory Burgess: From the Coalface is an exploration of the architect’s archive, working processes, and legacy. Through the lens of Burgess’ cultural philosophy, the exhibition is a showcase of the major projects of his career, and the work of University of Melbourne Architecture, Building and Planning students who have spent the past two years interrogating his archive and vision.
