inDETAIL with Stuart Vokes and Aaron Peters, Vokes and Peters – Sydney
Brickworks is excited for the return of the inDETAIL Speaker Series.
Vokes and Peters' work consciously seeks to reassess cultural practices and contribute to a collective city-making project. They have cultivated an affection for the places they work, an attitude attuned to the inherent beauty of their situation but mindful of uncritical practices exhibited by the contemporary construction industry and property market. Vokes and Peters consider extant settings and human occupancy as productive sources of friction capable of generating memorable and distinctive architectural responses.
While their small-scale and largely private domestic commissions have centred much of their attention on the 'traditional' suburbs of Brisbane's inner city, Vokes and Peters have also completed commercial and public buildings and undertaken residential commissions in regional Queensland, New South Wales, Perth and Sydney.
This event will be hosted by Stephen Varady, architect and collaborator, who shares Brickworks passion for architecture, design and innovation.
We look forward to welcoming you to Brickworks Design Studio Sydney for a night of networking and insightful architecture shared with like-minded people over drinks and canapés.
