Public Symposium: Australasia & the Global Turn in Architectural History Symposium
Melbourne School of Design Masson Rd, University of Melbourne, VIC, AustraliaThe writing of architectural history shifted with the turn of the twenty-first century. Theoretical and methodological reassessments, as well as the study of postcolonial theories in architecture, challenged the previously accepted disciplinary canon and made the development of a global history of architecture urgent.

Launch of “Across Bass Strait”
RHSV Gallery Downstairs 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, Victoria, AustraliaAcross Bass Strait, which will be launched by The Hon Barry Jones AO, is a history of the connection which commenced in the 1840s between squatters, merchants and mariners to develop the livestock trade from the mainland to Van Diemen’s Land. The trade established nineteenth-century Gippsland as a prime beef producer exporting through Port Albert, a now-forgotten port, and this account is based on merchants’ records and letters from two families who were major players in this trade.
