Lunchtime Design walking tour
Deepen your understanding of Canberra’s unique design identity as the DESIGN Canberra architecture experts share some of the stories behind architectural treasures in the CBD.
At the heart of modern architecture are progressive social ideals and a belief that technology can improve the quality of life. Walk Canberra’s city centre with architect and urbanist Bronwen Jones and find out how the ideas and teachings of the Bauhaus influenced prominent architects in Australia who were part of the accelerated transformation of ‘a semi-rustic town to…(a) small and incomplete, national capital’ in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.
