Design and the Vernacular: Book launch & talk
Join authors Paul Memmott AM and John Ting in a discussion about their new book ‘Design and the Vernacular’ at Bookshop by Uro
Focusing on the vast region of Australasia and Oceania, Design and the Vernacular explores the intersection between vernacular architecture, local cultures, and modernity and globalisation.
As Memmott and Ting demonstrate in their book, far from being anachronistic and static, vernacular building can shape contemporary architecture, nation building and cultural identities.
Featuring contributions from architects, designers and theorists, including Indigenous writers, this book provides valuable case studies and lessons for architecture in other global regions.
As capacity is limited, this is a ticketed event.
