Modern Heritage Presentation by Cameron Bruhn
August 15 @ 8.00 pm - 10.00 pm
$20 – $25
Recently off the press, Modern Heritage surveys 20 homes that embody the interwar period’s vibrant architectural eclecticism. Weaving cultural context with new insights, this carefully curated volume and talk will highlight the privilege that comes with owning a heritage house and the value of research in understanding the architecture’s stories and setting. The talk will cover how architects and homeowners share the process of protecting this legacy while giving new life to these cherished homes. This event will largely focus on the Art Deco properties as a deep dive.
Our speaker and the book’s author Cameron Bruhn is an Honorary Professor and former Dean and Head of School at The University of Queensland’s School of Architecture, Design and Planning. He is a respected leader and communicator in Australia’s architecture community and an advocate for the value of the built environment in shaping communities, cities and regions.
The session will be followed by a facilitated Q&A session and broader discussion on the evolving conservation practices for these homes.
