People and Places – A Western Australian Response

On October 10, TRCB is hosting a day of presentations and discussion about architecture, landscape, cross-disciplinary practice, teaching and research at the beautiful Living Edge Showroom in Queen Street, Perth. Please join us for a day of collaboration and engagement between disciplines, practices and WA’s Schools of Architecture.

Explore how design research, ethical practice, industry and academic engagement and cross disciplinary collaboration can drive the evolution of architecture in Western Australia and beyond.
