[can-events] Art & Architecture Symposium

State of Design
Design For Everyone/ Art & Architecture Symposium

A forum of Directors of Art Museums and their Architects at Melbourne
Grammar's recently complete learning environment, the Nigel Peck Centre
for Learning and Leadership designed by John Wardle Architects. 
  
Join Chris McAuliffe in discussion with the creative minds responsible
for a series of recently commissioned contemporary art spaces.  By
contrast and comparison, and by curator and designer, the defining
characteristics for each museum will be articulated, discussed and drawn
into focus. How does one go about creating a definitive space for a
changing display of contemporary art?
