Darwin’s transient nature and the small number of undergraduates at Charles Darwin University means that the current network is unpredictable and constantly changing. However, Bede and Rebecca feel that pushing from a grassroots level will be a great way to establish a larger cohort by reconnecting with the local members and those who have recently moved to the top end.

Last week EmAGN NT held a casual meet-and-greet event to reach out to young architects at the Top End. Encouragingly, among attendees  were first-year masters graduate, from Adelaide; a recently registered architect and a very experienced young architect from Iran. It was an excellent opportunity to talk to a wide representation of all levels of the profession in Darwin and discuss the plan for future events.

This was a promising start for the new EmAGN co-chairs and has provided a brilliant gauge of local members and an opportunity to reinvigorate EmAGN activities at the Top End.

EmAGN NT is excited for what comes next!
