To the Ends of the Earth—Richard Weller's Grand Tour of 21st Century Places

Richard Weller, former professor of landscape architecture and urbanism at the University of Pennsylvania, will take attendees on an intellectual adventure through a carefully curated selection of places that can be understood as metaphors of contemporary global culture.

This talk will be a condensed version of the tour found in Weller's new book of the same name, ranging across Steve Jobs' Apple Park in California, a small field station for the protection of wild orangutans in Borneo, the Great Green Wall in Central Africa, the Trump resort Mar-a-Lago, and more...

Richard will be joined in conversation wth a local landscape architecture expert.

The cost of tickets is deductible from purchases of Richard Weller's accompanying book, To the Ends of the Earth (Birkhauser 2024), on the night.

This talk accompanies an exhibition that will be showing at the Collingwood Yards gallery space over the course of Melbourne Design Week.
