Join us in the cinema for the premiere of this year's Modern Melbourne, featuring 1996 Gold Medal winner John Denton.

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, John Denton, one of Australia’s most influential architects, reflects on the formation of Denton Corker Marshall in the early 1970s together with Bill Corker and Barrie Marshall and how the practice went on to shape civic and cultural life both in Australia and internationally.

In conversation with Jill Garner at the Melbourne Museum, John provides compelling insight into an architectural body of work that is at once generous, rigorous, and responsive to place, history and public life.

Following the screening we will be joined by John Denton and Heritage Council Victoria Chair Professor Philip Goad for a Q&A.
