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 four contemporary master works; Renzo Piano’s Aurora Place, Christoph Ingenhoven’s 1 Bligh Street, Denton Corker Marshall’s Governor Phillip and Macquarie Towers and a collection of projects known as Quay Quarter by 3XN, Studio Bright and others.

Meeting Location.

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