The University of Melbourne’s Professor Philip Goad will join Tzannes Co-Directors Alec Tzannes and Amy Dowse for a conversation about architecture’s impact on urban environments.

To commemorate 40 years of innovation, Tzannes: Adaptive Urban Architecture and Design explores the transformative work of renowned architecture and urban design practice Tzannes. Published by Thames & Hudson, the book delves into the practice’s work in residential design through to iconic city-shaping developments like the Circular Quay Renewal and the Martin Place Metro Precinct.

Tzannes is an internationally acclaimed Sydney-based architectural and urban design studio. With a reputation for innovation, collaboration and ethical practice, it has shaped the way we live and work in the city. From founder Alec Tzannes’ radical reworking of the traditional terrace house forty years ago to more recent street furniture and globally pioneering work in timber architecture, the practice’s influence is evident in Australia and beyond.
Tzannes: Adaptive Urban Architecture and Design showcases over fifty housing, commercial, cultural and institutional projects, accompanied by research essays that critically interpret the work of one of Australia’s leading design firms. Together, they form an insightful examination of a practice committed to urban architecture responsive to the built, natural and First Nations environments.
