About the Sydney Architecture Festival.
The Sydney Architecture Festival is presented by the Australian Institute of Architects (NSW Chapter) and the NSW Architects Registration Board. Our organisations have common ground in our efforts to create a better understanding of architecture.
Australia’s only Architecture Festival offers international and local insights into the city’s built environment with a packed 10-day program of architecture talks, exhibitions, panel discussions, films, art installations, children’s activities, open day events and guided architectural tours on foot and bicycle.
The 2011 program is spread across lunchtime, evening and weekend timeslots and includes both paid and free events suited to all ages and walks of life, from industry professionals through to local community members.
Key themes for 2011 include the challenge of creating sustainable and affordable housing, the intersection of art and architecture, international perspectives on the built environment and the work of emerging practitioners.
The Festival takes place on both streets throughout Sydney and at some of the city’s leading cultural institutions.
