Venue: Kosloff Architecture, Level 2, 137 Flinders Lane, Melbourne VIC
Overview
Join us for the next EmAGN forum event, where we'll explore the exciting world of alternative architectural services offered by some of Victoria’s most innovative creatives.
It’s common for architects and graduates to feel ‘stuck’ in the traditional model of practice. Many are eager to be more generous or innovative in their approach to architecture. This forum aims to inspire by showcasing architects who are breaking the mold. From alternative research models to architects delving into prefabrication, and even new ways to make architectural services more accessible, this discussion will cover it all.
We will be asking whether traditional architecture is enough for emerging architects and graduates, who are increasingly seeking meaning in their work. Our panelists, all experts in their fields, will offer unique insights into the world of alternative architectural services.
This will be an engaging, open-ended discussion moderated by our EmAGN committee, with questions from the audience encouraged. Whether you have burning questions or simply want to listen in, there will be something for everyone.
Don't miss out on this captivating event. Book your spot now and join us for an evening of fascinating discussion!
