Claire Ferres Miles from the City of Port Phillip will launch a publication of work from the 2014 Zurich-Munich Travelling Studio.

The public and active transport networks of suburban Zurich and Munich provide real alternatives to the car.

In words and images, we explore what it takes for these networks to be effective, and how they shape city life and prosperity: raising ideas and questions for the Fishermans Bend urban renewal area and Melbourne’s transport future.

Date: Tuesday 7 October

In this ABP Dean's Lecture, Jeanne Gang will explore how today’s cities must cope with vast industrial-era spaces after those uses have lapsed. Through the lens of some of her firm’s most recent and noteworthy projects, she will propose how architectural practice might be refocused to help reimagine these territories and initiate transformation.

MacArthur Fellow, Jeanne Gang, FAIA, LEED AP is the founding principal of Studio Gang Architects, a collective of architects, designers, and thinkers practicing internationally. Her award-winning work includes the 82-story Aqua Tower (2009 Emporis Skyscraper of the Year); the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership; the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo; and the Solar Carve Tower, a commercial high-rise that abuts the High Line park in Manhattan.
