106 + NGV Melbourne Design Week 2021 - Transforming Everyday Public Spaces into Thriving Third Places
Presentation by Dion Gosling, 106 Architects - 31 March 2021.
How will design transform and shape life in the future development of community & sport facilities?
106 Director + Sports Architect, Dion Gosling OLY - Principal Architect, deep dives into the concept and detail that Third Place brings in sports architecture - both the buildings and the field of play.
He addresses the following key questions » How do we design for a richness of experience? What role does scale and familiarity have? What is the impact and influence of cultural overlay? And how can design meet community needs?
From the platform of Third Place thinking, Dion looks at how we might transform our community places and spaces. Designers are rapidly reimagining our built and social environment. From speculative structures to breakthrough approaches this theme explores new wave design-thinking in the context of our community and sporting infrastructure.
This event was part of Melbourne Design Week 2021, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with the NGV. It was also supported by Parks & Leisure Australia - VIC/TAS chapter.
