The Tasmanian Chapter has been busy organising a variety of events for Hobart Architecture Week.

On Sunday the 17th of November we held the Children’s Design and Build Play date in Collins Court, Hobart. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day and a great deal of fun was had by all.

Tonight the State Cinema is showing Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman, we do hope you are able to join us. Tickets will be available to purchase from the State Cinema today.

Hannah Tribe from Tribe Studio will be joining us at lunchtime on Wednesday from 12:30-2:00pm. We look forward to her presentation, The Art of Making Homes.

Thursday will be the opening of Architectural Snapshot ‘A window into contemporary Tasmanian Architecture’ this exhibition will be held at Penny Contemporary, from 21 to 23 November.

Saturday 23 November will be the launch of Open House Hobart 2013. Open House Hobart is a not-for-profit event providing the public a free and rare opportunity to discover a hidden wealth of architectural, engineering and historic buildings nestled around their city. We will be opening several buildings and inviting visitors into often inaccessible spaces in our city centre, to participate all you need to do is turn up at one of the open buildings during the opening hours, these are advertised on our Facebook page, (you do not need to be on Facebook to see this page).

Even locals can be a tourist in their own city for a day.
