1-10 November 2014

From 1 to 10 November 2014, the Sydney Festival of Architecture, an annual event designed to be both festive and educational, will focus on the crucial role infrastructure and transportation play in the organisation, elaboration and growth of cities. Both old and new, with a scale and impact felt across the whole city, these people-moving projects define the character of the present and future city. Conferences, exhibitions and a public symposium on “Growing Greater Sydney – connecting places and people” will invite attendees to reflect on how to shape a better New South Wales.

This year the Sydney Architecture Festival looks at the vital role that transport and infrastructure plays in the making of a great city.  Both old and new, with a scale and impact felt across the whole city, these people-moving projects define the character of the city both now and into the future.  From specially designed tours, talks and exhibitions - to a public colloquium 'Growing Greater Sydney - Connecting People and Places' that explores the role of our major transport projects in connecting Sydney's growth regions, unlocking unemployment potential and shaping a better New South Wales. We invite you to connect with Sydney on the move.
