MADC PRESENTS‘WHY HIRE AN ARCHITECT? WHY HIRE AN AGENCY? – WHAT'S
THE ULTIMATE PRICE OF CREATIVITY?’ WITH PETER MADDISON
Host, Grand Designs Australia
Founding Director, MADDISON ARCHITECTS
A growing number of clients these days reckon they can do just fine
without an agency. Likewise, many Australians believe they can build a
house without an architect. Is it all about cost cutting? And if so,
what’s the ultimate price of creativity?
Let’s step outside of our advertising bubble for a night and inside
the welcoming, open fire fueled warmth of THE LOCAL TAPHOUSE, St Kilda
as MADC Presents PETER MADDISON, Tues June 11th. The charismatic host
of Grand Designs AUSTRALIA will talk about the remarkable similarities
of our two creative industries and the true value of creative thinking
in an increasingly commoditised world.
Peter is the Founding Director of Maddison Architects. He’s
contributed to the Royal Australian Institute of Architects for the
last three decades, and is currently a member of the Honours
Committee. In 2014 he was conferred as a Doctor of Design by RMIT and
in 2016 was awarded the National President’s Prize by the RAIA for
Australian Achievement in Architecture. Maddison Architects has won
some 70+ awards.
