DESIGN Anytime - Enrico Taglietti
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. This zine was created for the 2020 DESIGN Canberra festival, as a curated collection of highlights of Enrico Taglietti’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.

Giralang Primary<br />
School<br />
1975<br />
Giralang Primary School was designed by <strong>Taglietti</strong><br />
in 1975, with the vision of fostering an enriching<br />
learning environment filled with fun and creativity.<br />
The building reflects the educational philosophy<br />
that was introduced to Canberra in the 1970s.<br />
It is a complex plan based on a cross with<br />
interconnected teaching areas centred on the<br />
library and its courtyard. Inside, angled and curved<br />
subdivisions create an extraordinary series of<br />
spaces. This complexity is apparent as you view<br />
the exterior of the building with its steeply pitched<br />
roofs, buttressed brick gable ends, deep horizontal<br />
fascias and playful details.<br />
Giralang Primary School is <strong>Taglietti</strong>’s most highly<br />
regarded building, receiving the Canberra Medallion<br />
in 1977 and the Twenty-Five Year Award in 2001<br />
from the ACT Chapter of the Australian Institute of<br />
Architects.<br />
