2022 Contemporary Australian Architects Speaker Series

For more than two decades the National Gallery has proudly partnered with the Australian Institute of Architects (ACT Chapter) to present the Contemporary Australian Architects Speaker Series. This annual lecture series showcases the latest work of renowned Australian architects.

Lecture 3 features Jo Best from Troppo, Darwin.

Troppo embrace the informality of the Australian lifestyle both in their approach to design as well as their enjoyment of practice. Whilst the name Troppo was devised in and for the tropics, the name now denotes, more broadly, a practice of regionally based studios that look first to place in order to understand the potential of a project. Working with and learning from Aboriginal custodians on who’s country they work to develop cross-cultural conversations as a generative design process has provided unique opportunities to work across Australia. A highly collaborative practice whose roundtable approach values all voices, Troppo are committed to sustainable, responsible architecture.
