  • Truth or Dare?
    “The more digital we have, the more naked skin and rawness we will want.” – Bjork

    Curated by Rachel Nolan (Kennedy Nolan) and Karen Alcock (MA Architects), The Architecture Symposium: Truth or Dare? presents a cast of emerging and established Australian architects whose residential projects are a testament to their experiences, processes and creativity. Join us for raw (but not naked) stories that reveal how personal idiosyncrasies and curiosities have shaped architectural thinking to create poetic homes that respond to people and place.
