The international event series “Architects, not Architecture” comes to Australia with events in Melbourne and Sydney! Three different distinguished architects will be participating in each of the cities as the format, which has been acclaimed in more than 10 European countries since 2015, makes its way to Down Under for the second time.
On Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at Art Gallery NSW in Sydney, AnA will bring together three of the most fascinating Australian architects who are pushing the boundaries in the fields of architecture and interior design. They will talk about their personal experiences and the influences that impacted them creatively on their respective journeys as architects:
– William Smart, Smart Design Studio, Sydney, www.smartdesignstudio.com
– Hannah Tribe, Tribe Studio, Sydney, www.tribestudio.com.au
– Virginia Kerridge, Virginia Kerridge Architect, Sydney, www.vk.com.au
“Architects, not Architecture”, or “AnA”, gives guests the chance to get to know world-renowned architects on a more personal level as there is only one golden rule: speakers are not allowed to talk about their architectural projects. This has allowed audiences around the globe to enjoy unique personal content since the format was introduced in 2015.
Doors open at 18:00 AEDT.
The talks start at 19:00 AEDT.
This event is taking place with the collaboration of the Australian Institute of Architects and is kindly supported by Equitone, Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia, Brickworks, ERCO, Allegion and Space.

Let’s explore circular building together
The challenge of our generation is to build with a lighter impact. Knowing that the building industry is key to tackling climate change, we as a façade material producer want to do more than just transform our materials. By 2030, we want to forge new and innovative partnerships, trailblaze transparency across the value chain and establish a sustainability council of external experts to stay on track to full circularity.

Virginia Kerridge established her studio in 1995.

These elements infuse the studio’s projects in both new and existing buildings and across diverse housing and commercial projects.The Taylor Square Warehouse received an RAIA Merit award in the studio’s first year of practice. Since then, Kerridge has received numerous awards from the Australian Institute of Architects and Houses Awards. House in Country NSW was named as Australia’s House of the Year in 2011. More recently in 2018, M3565 Main Beach won the Job + Froud Award in Residential Housing – Multiple Housing, and in 2020 the Grant Pirrie House was awarded an AIA Residential Architecture Award as well as an AIA Interior Architecture Award.Virginia Kerridge graduated in architecture at the University of NSW with first class honours.
