Last week, 29 of the 30 Alumni members met in Hobart for an archi-marathon whirlwind; a pace we’re all used to!
On Thursday evening we had a candid discussion about MONA, from James Pearce, project architect on MONA from Fender Katsalidis, as well as a brief presentation from this years Alumni group.
On Friday, the group then caught an early ferry to MONA, nursing coffees after a late night in Hobart.
O device in hand, here we were treated to the subterranean delights on MONA, where we were let loose for two hours.
The visceral effect was too much for some, remaining above ground was wise a move.
Following a light lunch and wine tasting in the Barrel Room, we briefly visited Room 11″s Glenorchy Art and Sculpture Park; a recent National Award winner for Urban Design.
The tour official concluded after GASP, however a good number of participants stayed on for the weekend to enjoy Hobart.
Peter Walker from the Alumni year 1, has collated information on the Alumni Group, ans started a tumblr blog so you all know who you are, there will be a pop quiz next year!
Tom Ferguson, from the 2010 Alumni has posted some amazing pictures on his flicker site here.
Thanks to every single one of you, and a special thanks to Phil for having the foresight to make this such an amazing program.
