Mid-Century Matters: Conservation in Context

With a focus on the ongoing Tower Hill conservation project as a departure point, this event explores the complexities of preserving significant mid-century sites, highlighting case studies with distinct typologies, site conditions, and heritage challenges. The panel includes guest convenor Edwina Jans (GML) and speakers Tina Tam (Lovell Chen) on Tower Hill, Sarah Bryant (Bryant Alsop) on Yarra House and Peter Mallat (Six Degrees) on Stop 1 University of Melbourne.

By comparing and contrasting these projects, the panel uncovers common themes and unique considerations in conservation approaches — examining how heritage values are balanced with contemporary needs.
