A presentation by Peter Freeman OAM

In this presentation, Peter will focus on the life and times of Malcolm Moir and Heather Sutherland – Canberra's 20th-century 'architectural power couple'; and the work of the two modernists Neville Ward and Ian Slater, who joined the practice following the tragic death of Heather Sutherland in 1951.

This will be a rare opportunity to hear from one of Australia's foremost heritage architects and historians.

Peter will be signing copies of his new book

While many architects might aspire to profoundly transform their cities, very few ever manage to build at scales that would make this possible.

The architect Robin Gibson not only built prolifically and at expansive urban scales, his projects redefined the culture and identity of one of Australia’s major capital cities, Brisbane. ‘Light, Space, Place: The Architecture of Robin Gibson’ is the first book ever published on this immensely significant Australian architect, designer of some of Brisbane’s most important civic and commercial environments, including the Queensland Museum, the State Library of Queensland, the Performing Arts Complex and the renowned Queensland Art Gallery.

To commemorate the launch of the book, join editors Deborah van der Plaat and Lloyd Jones in a discussion of Gibson’s distinctive vision of Brisbane as a sub-tropical city, sensitive to climate and place, and alive with people.
