Highlights from the Successful Sydney Open Symposium

Last Saturday’s successful Sydney Open Symposium brought together a community of people passionate about design, history, and the city.

Hosted by Museums of History NSW and generously supported by Macquarie Group at 1 Elizabeth, the day was shaped by the insight of speakers and the energy of those who joined.

Special recognition for JPW goes to Matthew Morel for his presentation, and to Vy Pham, Natalie Minasian, and Matteo Salval for leading the Architecture and Design tours.

Thank you to everyone who joined us – your engagement helps strengthen our shared commitment to design excellence and we look forward to more opportunities for collaboration and exchange.

JPW acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country and honours their continuing connection to lands, waters, skies, and communities.

We offer our respect to Elders past and those present – as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work.
