Accessible bathroom, All gender bathroom, Wheelchair accessibleJoin Baracco + Wright and Linda Tegg at the launch of two separate but aligned books from a series curated by Louise Wright and Mauro Baracco of Baracco+Wright Architects that combine their work and writing with that of others.
Knowing and Unknowing: The Lives of Repair with Linda Tegg that extends the thinking from their curation of the Australian Pavilion, 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. Emily Potter, Professor of Writing and Literature at Deakin University; and Catherine Murphy, academic in the Environment and Landscape Stream of the Monash Urban Lab at Monash University, provide contributing texts in Knowing and Unknowing: The Lives of Repair.
Buildings & Living Things: Garden House presents a photo essay of this house and landscape by Rory Gardiner alongside the transcript of a lecture by Mauro Baracco and Louise Wright. A photo essay by Rory Gardiner and a text by Nina Bassoli, architect, researcher, curator and coordinator of the Architecture, Urban Regeneration and City sector at the Triennale di Milano, are included in Buildings & Living Things: Garden House.
The launch of both books will be accompanied by a floor talk by the authors.
Participants
Louise Wright and Mauro Baracco, architects, both PhD, are directors of Baracco+Wright Architects (B+W, est. 2004) and their research laboratory B+W+. They both teach and research. Louise is a Practice Professor at MADA (Monash Art Design & Architecture.) Mauro was an Associate Professor at RMIT (1996-2020) and Visiting Professor at Polimi Milan; he is currently University Fellow to RMIT and Teaching Associate at MADA.
Their interest in the local has developed from historical and cultural to include ecological relationships of the built and unbuilt environment. They are interested in a role for architecture that can extend its relationship with the natural world towards one that considers all life. They build, unbuild, rearrange and support buildings and living things. Recently they have been researching the role of reuse and removal of built form in the reimagining of the city.
Linda Tegg is a Melbourne-based Artist who makes work out of inhabiting and reconfiguring the conditions of spectatorship. Within her immersive installations, images, plants, animals, and the built environment are brought into unlikely proximities to generate new points of orientation and relation. She collaborates widely, working across cultural institutions and public space. She was a co-creative director of the Australian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale with Baracco+Wright Architects, and Artist in Residence at the School of Geography at The University of Melbourne (2018). In 2014 she grew ‘Grasslands’ at the State Library of Victoria with Horticulturalist John Delpratt. Linda is a Samstag Scholar (2014), and Georges Mora Fellow (2012). She has degrees from SAIC, The University of Melbourne, and RMIT University, and is a PhD candidate at The University of Melbourne.
