We are back in Australia! After a stunning first experience last year, the international event series “Architects, not Architecture” comes again to Australia with events in Melbourne and Sydney in 2024! Three different well-known architects will be participating in each of the cities, and we can’t wait to meet the Australian community at these events.
On Tuesday, March 26, 2024 at Art Gallery NSW in Sydney, following distinguished architects will talk about their personal experiences and the influences that impacted them as architects in the most important creative periods in their lives:
– Camilla Block, Durbach Block Jaggers, Sydney – www.durbachblockjaggers.com
– Mat Hinds, Taylor + Hinds, Hobart – www.taylorandhinds.com.au
– Rachel Neeson, Neeson Murcutt Neille, Sydney – www.neesonmurcuttneille.com
“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 17:30 AEDT.
The talks start at 18:00 AEDT.
This event is taking place with the collaboration of the Australian Institute of Architects and is kindly supported by Equitone, Fisher & Paykel, Cosentino, Brickworks, Allegion, Space, and Capral.

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.
