Sir Roy Grounds is in the news again.

The John Medley Building has been assessed for heritage listing, the recent publication on Grounds' early flat designs, 'Experiments in Minimum Living', a DOCOMOMO open day, and the release of the Grounds furniture line by K5. Given this coverage, it seems timely to review the career of Grounds and assess his ongoing significance. This event brings together a series of short presentations and a panel discussion to examine and debate the work of this important, but perhaps misunderstood, Australian architect.

Speakers include: Norman Day, Tony Lee, Paul Johnston, Hannah Lewi, Christopher Marshall, Kate Finning and Mia Fleming with more to be announced.

Wednesday September 2nd
6pm for a 630 start.
K5 Furniture Showroom
Level 1, 275 Smith Street Fitzroy, VIC, 3065
