SAW 1 – The City, Sydney

Tour Details.

The perfect introduction to Sydney, this tour reveals the patterns and forces that shape the city.

Through a process of decoding and untangling, we will explore contemporary Sydney whilst discussing the underlying political, economic, ecological and cultural forces that give the city form. The conversation will be structured around three contemporary master works; Renzo Piano’s Aurora Place, Christoph Ingenhoven’s 1 Bligh Street and Denton Corker Marshall’s Governor Phillip and Macquarie Towers.

Meeting Location.

Customs House (forecourt). 31 Alfred St, Sydney – 1 minute walk from Circular Quay Station.
