Tusculum talks - Jones Bay Wharf and Designing for Density

"Tusculum talks
An exciting series of Monday night talks with members of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (NSW).

JONES BAY WHARF | MONDAY 20 JUNE
Philip Vivian, Siobhan McInerney, Otto Cserhalmi and Alan Croker, the brains behind the Jones Bay Wharf project, winner of the RAIA 2004 Greenway Award for conservation, provide an insider’s view into one of Sydney's boldest redevelopments.

DESIGNING FOR DENSITY | MONDAY 8 AUGUST
Bob Perry, as a director of Scott Carver – Architects & Planners, and of SCAPE – Landscape Architects – is currently designing many large mixed-use developments in Sydney that are a direct consequence of increased density. Bob believes that the citizens of Sydney, by virtue of our suburban lifestyles, are poorly equipped to deal with these issues and that we need a major reappraisal of our cultural prejudices towards it. He will advocate that dense cities are in fact better cities using examples of urban design concepts from Paris, Tokyo and Beijing from which Sydney can learn."
