MRelay: After Future Practice

03/18/2022 04:00 pm 03/18/2022 06:30 pm Australia/Melbourne MRelay: After Future Practice

Future Practice (written by Rory Hyde) revealed alternative methods of design practice at the edge of architecture.

Nine years since it’s publication, it is even more important that we empower emerging designers to have a more expansive approach to their practice. Challenges within today’s society demand we confront conventional practice with collaboration—and become more adaptable for an uncertain future.

Hear about experiences outside traditional practice with a line-up of esteemed guests in a lively tag-team conversation as part of the annual MRelay series. Featuring over ten speakers, this experimental talkfest will explore alternative modes of practice and ask the question—can we rethink design education, and the opportunities available to graduates?

In a sports relay, a team covers a distance in turns, passing a baton from one runner to the next. In MRelay, thinkers, activists, provocateurs, architects and design doyennes share insights and ideas in this marathon conversation.

It’ll be fast-paced, exhilarating and, best of all, deeply unpredictable. Emboldened by cheering crowds, drinks, and music!

Hosted by the Monash Architecture Around group.

This event is part of Melbourne Design Week 2022, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with the NGV.
