PERIPHERAL - around the edges of creativity - event wrap by Hannah Blumberg
For me, the main word I would use to describe the event was “refreshing”. It was a time to stop, remove my mind from checklists, controls, and to-do lists, and take stock of what we do as architects.
CENTRED - creating space for communities - event wrap by John de Manincor
Having been the convener on more than one occasion I can assure you it’s not an easy task, so even before this wrap up wraps up, I extend a huge thanks to the creative director Louisa Gee and the Regional Architecture Association (RAA) Committee for facilitating a warm, seamless and informative gathering where we learned a lot about community through many people’s “story”.

For those of us who have the pleasure to live on Bundjalung land in far northern NSW, it is quite the trip to get to Mudgee on Wiradjuri Country. You start to wilt by about Armidale and feel decidedly weary by Tamworth when you realise that you are still three and a half hours away. But, gosh it was worth it.
