Over the Edge: Exploring Melbourne’s Architecture, Circa 19thC – 21stC

Course Summary

Join multi-award-winning architect, Nicholas Gioia, on a stimulating journey along the periphery of Melbourne’s CBD core; the North and Eastern borders. Witness the clash of architectures as you ponder 19thC “dreaming spires” being hastily overshadowed by the numberless cranes of the 21stC. Uncover some of the fascinating stories in the places where Melbourne’s centre rubs up against its very first suburbs.

Meet: On the steps of Parliament House, Spring Street, Melbourne
