The rise of the second city

Australia is one of the most urbanised countries in the world; however, contemporary forces are changing the shape of our metropolitan areas. Recent global events have boosted the appeal of a regional lifestyle and prompted a more decentralised workforce.

An/Other City explores the architectural possibilities of a less centralised urban life. Speakers will investigate how works of architecture and infrastructure can galvanise and better support new urban environments, and what factors are informing the architectural project within these satellite cities.


CURATORS

Andrew Burgess has 25 years’ experience in architectural practice, including 20 years as principal of Andrew Burges Architects. Prior to forming his practice in 2001, Andrew worked in firms in Sydney, New York and Boston, developing expertise in large-scale urban masterplanning and urban housing proposals, civic and sporting structures. His work has been published and recognised extensively and exhibited both locally and internationally.

Maryam Gusheh is an associate professor in architecture at Monash University. Her work examines the relationship between architectural practice and the social and political contexts in which the built fabric is designed, constructed and received. Her interests include culture and identity in architecture, cross-cultural practices and inclusive architecture. Maryam often works at the intersection of academia and industry and is skilled at conceptualising and realising collaborations that span these worlds.
