This May, the Gold Coast edition of The Architecture Symposium will feature presentations from nine practitioners who are opting for a slow architectural approach focused on long-term environmental and social wellbeing, alongside a tour of two landmark projects in the region that put this philosophy into action.
On Sunday 24 May, attendees will have a rare opportunity to visit The Warehouses with J.AR Office founder Jared Webb, who will guide visitors through the national-award-winning, adaptive transformation of industrial sheds into a flood‑resilient commercial precinct.

The journey will then continue to Lune de Sang, a rainforest regeneration project in the Byron Bay hinterland, where Choi Studio founder John Choi will lead a tour of structures designed over the past decade by Choi Studio and Chrofi, including the internationally acclaimed Lune de Sang Pavilion and Sheds 1 and 2, along with the recently completed Sheds 3 and 4.
