The self-guided tour
To connect with audiences who cannot physically
make it to Canberra during the festival, DESIGN
Canberra is curating a DESIGN Anytime program.
This new program includes self-guided tours of iconic
architecture and contemporary design throughout
Canberra. This will promote and celebrate Canberra as
a global city of design every day of the year.
Quote –“It was the biggest job ever built in
Australia at the time – a million square feet – it
was a city not a building! And I’m much more
interested in the building as part of the city,
in the urban forms of things, than I am in the
individual gem.”
This zine was created for the 2020 DESIGN Canberra
festival, as a curated collection of highlights of Robin
Boyd’s architectural career in Canberra. This design
experience can be enjoyed as a series of leisurely
reflections over a week or an exciting day trip through
the city.
