Our directors Vanessa and Neil are grateful to have been invited to join the 2023 Brickworks Architour with 60 architects from Australia and US. The study tour of Madrid and Barcelona ended in Venice for the Vernissage (preview) of the 18th Biennale di Venezia. Some truely inspirational architectural works were vistied, including those by Flores + Prats, rcr arquitectes, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, Ensamble Studio, Carme Pinós, Antoni Gaudi, Enric Miralles, Ricardo Bofill and Carlo Scarpa, as well as tours of La Paloma and San Selmo's brick factories.

The tour enabled time out from busy practice to see inspiring work, and to connect and forge friendships with colleagues from around the country and the US. Thanks to Brickworks for the opportunity.
