Baracco + Wright
Use & ReUse – exhibition and floor talk
An exhibition and floor talk documenting an ongoing research project undertaken by MADA Monash Architecture students coordinated by Mauro Baracco (Baracco+Wright Architects) focussed on the mapping of empty buildings in Melbourne
n aiming to bring attention to the amount of and consistently increasing empty buildings, this research aims to test the belief that we require a significant supply of new buildings…while some commentators estimate we do not have enough sand, for example, to build them. To play a role in mitigating climate change and biodiversity loss, could architecture shift its primary concern away from building anew to include land use and resource recovery? Less land taken up, less materials extracted, more materials reused, more land repaired.
Public Floor Talk: Sunday 28 May, 11.30am-1.00 pm
Exhibition open to the public on:
Saturday 20 + Saturday 27 May, 11.00am-4.00 pm
