2-4 October 2019

3 full days of intensive educational architecture walking tour with the help of trains, buses and ferries. Architecture in Brisbane is deeply experiential and personal which makes it very hard to capture into photos. The tour offers a narrative in understanding Brisbane as a place, its subtropical climatic designs and its architectural culture. Learning design through active experience and observation. A certain basic level of fitness is required and it is best suited for students, graduates and independent travellers.
