WA EmAGN Generation Exchange Event

Thursday 18 August | 5.30pm-8.00pm

Brickworks Perth Design Studio, Ground Floor, 67 King St, Perth WA 6000

Overview

The main aim of Generation Exchange is to connect young architects (attendees) with established and experienced architects (guest panellists). Generation Exchange is intended as an informal event that breaks down the barriers between two generations of architects.

There are many difficulties that young practitioners of architecture have wrestled with since time immemorial. We would like attendees to leave the Generation Exchange event with a realisation that issues they are facing are not dissimilar to what the panelists have experienced.

Mistakes are inevitable, but we need to be able to learn from them. It would be good for attendees to learn about positive ways to handle failures both large and small.

It’s clear for young architects to see that wisdom in architecture only comes from years of practice. With guidance from MC Janine Marsh, guest speakers Debra Brown, Barry Baltinas, Dominic Snellgrove and Richard Szklarz will show that, despite the difficulties inherent in the profession, it’s been worth it to ‘stay in the game’.
