Limits of size or budget are no obstacles for the Australian architects who will present their work as part of a symposium on small projects.
Curated by Anita Panov and Andrew Scott of Panov Scott Architects, The Architecture Symposium: Small will celebrate projects or processes that might not necessarily be physically small but which involve “divergent practice methods developed over many years to produce an enviable economy of architectural means.”
