Melbourne Conversations: Designing with Country
PRESENTED BY MELBOURNE CONVERSATIONS WITH EVENT PARTNERS OPEN HOUSE MELBOURNE AND FED SQUARE.
How can design reveal and strengthen our connections to Country? Bringing together leading voices in First Nations knowledge, architecture and urban design, this conversation will explore how pathways, trails and infrastructure can act as living cultural lines.
In conversation: Senior Wurundjeri Elder Aunty Joy Murphy; Dr Danièle Hromek, Director and Design Lead, Djinjama; and Stas Mantis, Design Leader, Greenshoot Consulting. Hosted by Dr Kat Nelligan.
Together, they will reflect on approaches to ‘designing with Country’ and consider how lines—whether songlines, walking trails or transport corridors—carry knowledge, memory and responsibility, and how design can meaningfully support deeper, ongoing connections with Country.
Light refreshments provided.
