Did you miss out on the SAMHRI Tour?

Last week the SA Chapter held a member’s walking tour of the new SAMHRI building. The team from Woods Bagot provided a presentation explaining the projects development and then led us throughout the site from the vivarium and cyclotron in the lower basement to the top floor with a close look at the remarkable facade. Registrations for the tour closed after only two days due to the high level of interest and so another tour is planned for late October. Our thanks to Woods Bagot, Hindmarsh and the SAMHRI team for hosting the tour.

 As part of our approach to educating the public about the value of architects and architecture the SA Chapter runs the Take Your Place program as part of Place SA www.placesa.com.au in which people submit short videos about their favourite place into a people’s Choice competition. Last year this culminated in an Open Air viewing of prize winners in Hindmarsh Square. We’ll be launching the 2013 season soon and will talk about this more in an upcoming Chapter enews.
