AMAG 36 Launch
Bookings via Humanitix
EmAGN QLD will be hosting the Australian launch of AMAG 36 on November 27. The esteemed Portuguese publication features three Australian practices in their latest edition. Join us at Milani Gallery in West End for presentations by all five practice directors.
Simon Pendal, Taylor and Hinds and Vokes and Peters are part of a strong, architectural culture across Australia, working by choice in the Australian peripheries.
Despite the distance between them - Simon Pendal in Fremantle, Western Australia is 4,000 km from Vokes and Peters in Brisbane, Queensland who are in turn 2,400 km from Taylor and Hinds in Cremorne, Tasmania - they share a considerable sense of collegiality with each other and with the community of architects and academics in their locale.
The leaders of all three practices worked or studied in the UK or Europe and have brought a critical contextuality to the places in which they build. What is surprising and highly appropriate for the current discussions of sustainability, is that the considerable visual and conceptual force of their designs is achieved in works that are largely adaptive re-use.
