106 Architects + NGV Melbourne Design Week 2021 presents

How will design transform and shape life in the future development of community facilities?

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.

From the platform of Third Place thinking, our mix of creative professionals will share, build, then intersect their perspectives for how we might transform our community places and spaces.

Each presenting speaker will unpack their interpretation of the impact of design in shaping our social infrastructure of the future. Participants will be encouraged to transform their own community ideologies, as they imagine within the fields of our presenters’ perspectives.

Presenters:

Simon Madden - Sports and Business Leader

Tiffany Cherry - Sports Media Commentator & Active Board member with SEA - Sports Environment Alliance

Dion Gosling - Sports Architect & Director, 106 Architects

James Mant - Urban Planner & 20-minute Neighbourhood Lead, Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning

Martin Sheppard - Strategic Thinker & Founder of the National Sports Convention

Nikki Langman - International Speaker & Emotional Intelligence Specialist

Join us as we discuss the future transformation of community spaces with Third Place thinking.
