Join us in the cinema for the premiere screening of this year's Modern Melbourne edition, featuring 2004 Gold Medal winner Greg Burgess.

Modern Melbourne is a series that documents the extraordinary practice of our most important architects and designers and looks at their lasting impact on Melbourne.

In this episode, Greg Burgess, a unique figure in Australian architecture, reflects on his community-focused approach to design and how he has used architecture to foster relationships with clients, communities and Country to create spaces full of meaning and spirit. In conversation with Dr Peter Raisbeck at the Eltham Library, Greg reveals how he has consistently championed this approach, producing work noted for its complex geometries, innovative materials and deep cultural insights.

Join us in the cinema for the premiere screening of this year's Modern Melbourne, featuring 2004 Gold Medal winner Greg Burgess followed by a Q&A with Burgess and Heritage Council Victoria Chair Professor Philip Goad.
