INVERT 2.0 MINI LIVING – BUILT BY ALL talk series

As part of green magazine and MINI LIVING’s upcoming exhibition in collaboration with RMIT and the City of Melbourne a talk series will be held 22 – 25 October. The program brings together luminaries from fields of architecture and design along with participating architects and RMIT students.

Visitors will not only have the opportunity to unpack the vision and planning behind each design for the hypothetical village, but meditate more broadly on topics ranging from community-building in multi-residential contexts to sustaining liveable cities for our growing population.

The talks will be presented at the INVERT 2.0 MINI LIVING – BUILT BY ALL exhibition site at the 2014 MPavilion on the grounds of the Hellenic Museum in Melbourne’s CBD (280 Williams st, Melbourne, VIC 3000). The talks are free, but bookings are essential. Find the full schedule and booking information listed below.
