This is suburbia – photography Instameet

Join local photographer Davey Barber (5 Foot Photography) and Instagramers Canberra on a suburban instameet around the new community of Taylor. Photos can be submitted to the DESIGN Canberra Instagram Photography Competition, which is seeking new photography responding to Canberra’s unique suburban design identity.

From the time of Walter and Marion Griffin’s visionary design a century ago, to iconic experimental modernist architecture of the 1950s and 60s, through to contemporary and sustainable design developments today, Canberra has been – and will always be – a living design laboratory.

The new community of Taylor presents an innovative case study in contemporary urban design with a mix of low and medium density housing options, reminiscent of a traditional Canberra suburb, reimagined in a smart, sustainable way.

Please meet at the Taylor Adventure Playground.
