Reading the City: Bricks and Mortar
The Wheeler Centre Auditorium, 6:00PM – 7:00PM, Tuesday 23 March 2010
Across March we’ll be Reading the City; shining a light on the many ways we understand and talk about Melbourne itself. From the city as an abstract concept to the physical landscape in all its permutations, we’ll be hearing from visual artists and architects, policy makers and designers, novelists and historians. The City of Literature becomes the focus, and you’ll never read it the same way again.
Bricks and Mortar
Imaginative cities be damned – what about the skyline?
It can’t be true that Melbourne has no landmarks but what are they? Four top architectural thinkers present their favourite – and least favourite – Melbourne buildings.
