[Sydney Architecture Festival @sydarchfest]

With #SydArchFest wrapped for 2019 - we wanted to thank every one of you for your participation, support and deep engagement with the challenge of Making Housing Affordable. We couldn't have done it without you. THREAD!

Finally, #SydArchFest would not be possible without our extraordinary crew of Volunteers who always make it look so easy - they care so much about architecture, and it shows! Thank you!

@ByronKinnaird @ArchInsights You may have caught some glimpses already of #SydArchFest beamed live to your office last week, all thanks to @BECnetwork - they continue to support us and we're so glad they do!

[Melonie Bayl-Smith @bijlarchitect]

I'm calling it for sure now. Best @sydarchfest yet. Many congrats @mrbarnabyb @ArchInsights - thanks @affordable_syd @ByronKinnaird @LHSyd @HillThalisAUP @AssoConsultArch + others for your talks, events, enthusiasm for the festival! #sydarchfest #architecture #affordablehousing

Karakusevic Carson - I see here those timeless Vitruvian qualities - stability, utility, beauty. #affordablehousing worth every cent (and more) if it produces such generosity in its architectural expression as much as its accomodation #architecture #citiesforpeople #sydarchfest

[Sydney Architecture Festival @sydarchfest]

@OurNewHomecoach No worries Jennifer - appreciating your engagement this week, glad you’ve had such a great Festival #sydarchfest is another good # option!

Paul Karakusevic on Bacton Estate 'we were called up one morning, asked to attend a project interview that evening, four other architects were also invited but didn't turn up - clearly they thought the client was crazy. We won the job' #Architect as optomist! #affordablehousing

@OurNewHomecoach You haven’t missed it - our handle has been tagged as the common option this week.

[Philip Thalis @PhilipThalis]

UK architect #PaulKarakusevic does a high speed run through of the history of public housing in England. Fabulous early works 1850-1900, then post-WW2 some remarkable statistics on the sheer quantity of public housing built - remarkably around 200 000 per year
@sydarchfest

[Byron Kinnaird @ByronKinnaird]

Paul launches energetically into his work - he has possibly been to the most @sydarchfest events of anyone this week (!) and his third and final talk this week is already deeply interesting - contextualised, informed, and precise

[Philip Thalis @PhilipThalis]

Architect Timothy Hill, with typical cut through, says inter alia “Australia does not have a housing policy, it has a tax policy that produces junk” & that most countries deliberately do not “build housing in the ‘Australian Way’”
Take a read - @sydarchfest

[Sydney Architecture Festival @sydarchfest]

We are there - the finale of @sydarchfest, the culmination of a week of diverse, deeply informed and shared discussions on #affordablehousing.

[Philip Thalis @PhilipThalis]

On last night of this year’s fantastic @sydarchfest, director @mrbarnabyb welcoming a full house (again) @cityofsydney’s Customs House. So looking forward to tonight’s speakers #TimothyHill & #PaulKarakusevic to discuss their take on the fundamentals of good housing design

[Make Renting Fair in NSW @RentingFairNSW]

"Security and affordability are two sides of the same coin, you cannot look at one without the other. You can't have one, without the other."

Jemima Mowbray from @TUNSW and #MakeRentingFair tells the @sydarchfest @shelternsw Better Housing Now session. #SydArchFest

@OurNewHomecoach @timhorton_ @LHSyd Hi Jennifer, it was! We are working to share this and other key talks from the Festival! We’ll keep you posted
