Published in the 40th Anniversary year, VISION: Art, Architecture and the National Gallery of Australia celebrates the story behind the most significant landmark in the history of Australian architecture.
Join the National Gallery Director, Dr Nick Mitzevich and internationally respected architectural historian Professor Philip Goad for the launch of VISION: Art, Architecture and the National Gallery of Australia. Together they will discuss the ambition and beauty of the National Gallery building, delve into its design, construction and controversial aftermath, and ‘dare to uncover its bones, revel in its concrete presence and retrieve its vision’.
National President of the Australian Institute of Architects, Shannon Battisson, will introduce the event and contextualise this significant building in the national landscape.
Presented in partnership with NGA and the ACT Chapter.
The Australian Institute of Architects acknowledges First Nations peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters, and skies of the continent now called Australia.
We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.
We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
