The Vault - The Joys of Detailing

The Joys of Detailing with Troy Donovan

24 May 2024
6.00pm -9.00 pm

Brickworks in their showroom at 367 Collins Street, Melbourne.

Overview

Design on the surface is only skin deep. Buildings can not be built without the skill and craft of the architects and building practitioners who draw the fine details that bring the elements together in every structure that surrounds us in the built environment. “The Joys of Detailing” delves into the intricacies and significance of architectural detailing, exploring how meticulous attention to specific elements elevates the overall design and user experience.

"The Vault" is a unique program designed to showcase the evolution of architectural documentation over the years, from 1947 to the present day. We are inviting architecture firms to submit their archived documentation packages, providing insight into the changing practices and techniques used in architectural documentation. The program will feature a curated library of drawings, starting with the drawings produced by Robin Boyd's "Small Homes Service" in 1947, and spanning to contemporary documentation practices. This exhibition will offer design practitioners and the public a rare opportunity to explore the evolution of architectural documentation firsthand.

Hosted by our generous event partners Brickworks in their showroom at 367 Collins Street, Melbourne
