Heritage Beyond the Facade

  • Victorian Archives Centre 99 Shiel Street North Melbourne, VIC, 3051 Australia (map)

Buildings, particularly their facades, are the most noticeable elements in the urban environment, representing the face of heritage. However, by focusing solely on the facade, do we overlook other aspects that make heritage places valuable?

This free Melbourne Design Week talk, featuring Peter Andrew Barrett as the speaker, explores alternative ways of experiencing and contemplating heritage in the city beyond the facade’s aesthetic.

The talk delves into the value of touch, smell and sound. It will examine the relationship between a place and its topography, social history, associated language, and how people move through or circulate around it.

This is a free event.
