DESIGN THE WORLD YOU WANT
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=07e9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>

Dear friends,

On Friday, NGV launched the biggest Melbourne Design Week
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=07e9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>
yet. Open until 5 April, the festival will host over 300 exhibitions,
talks, films, tours and workshops across Victoria and online.

This year centres around the provocation ‘Design the world you want’,
asking us all to consider the potential for design to shape the future and
address some of the pressing issues facing our whole environment at this
time. Here are a few highlights from this year's program to look forward to.

Returning to Melbourne Design Week is the Waterfront series
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=08e9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>,
curated by the Centre for Architecture Victoria | Open House Melbourne.
There are nearly twenty talks, workshops and exhibitions on offer which
focus on Melbourne’s water sources and how the city might further embrace
these through an enhanced role for design and architecture.

This walking tour
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=09e9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>
takes visitors through the Bolin Bolin Billabong with the Wurundjeri Woi
Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation and Melbourne Water.
Walkers will learn how Bolin Bolin have been able to restore the water's
ecological integrity while also maintaining its cultural significance, and
how this has improved the habitat for local wildlife as well as the
community.

In 2021 the Waterfront series has expanded beyond Melbourne and into East
Gippsland. One of the standout programs hosted in Lakes Entrance is Rethinking
Regional Recovery
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=0ae9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>.
Here, Monash University Master of Architecture students share their visions
of how we can improve long-term design processes for the future by better
incorporating local knowledge and deconstructing sectoral silos. In light
of the devastating impact the 2019/20 bushfires had on the area, many of
the projects focus on questioning the moral role of architects in recovery
building.

Another must-see of this year’s program is a series of events,
installations and talks by some of Australia’s leading architectural
practices under the umbrella project called A New Normal
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=0be9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>,
which challenges Melbourne to become an entirely self-sufficient city by
2030.

Ha Architecture
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=0ce9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>,
for example, has envisioned a greenhouse that demonstrates how land can be
simultaneously and symbiotically used for both agriculture and solar energy
production. Grimshaw X Greenshoot X Greenaway is live streaming their
vision for an electric vehicle ‘pit-stop’ of the future
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=0de9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>,
where cars will be charged, serviced and their parts repurposed. In
addition, a beautiful  Rooftop Solar Pavilion
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=0ee9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>
has
been created by John Wardle Architects, which marries Melbourne’s love of
rooftop experiences with architecture that meets our need for
solar-generated power.

For those looking for a new cafe this weekend, I suggest putting jam café
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=0fe9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>
at the top of your list. Created by JamFactory Australian Made, the space
celebrates uniquely Australian designed and made furniture, lighting and
objects. Whilst enjoying a coffee, visitors are invited to test out design
wares created by JamFactory and other local designers and makers including
Rolf Barfoed, Rowsaan, Ashlee Hopkins and Andrew Carvolth.

A trip to jam café is also an opportunity to visit new design exhibitions
like Broached Recal
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=10e9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>
l, which shares twelve applied arts-objects, created in a collaboration
between Broached Commissions and Elton Group. Each work brings into
dialogue both the past and the present by combining eight heritage timber
species with contemporary reconstructed veneer and comments on the design
industry's contribution to a world full of products that are devoid of life.

Visitors may find themselves escaping reality for just a moment as they
wander through Wonderstruck
<https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=NTYzXzI5NDcyXzM4MDcwOF83MDA3&l=11e9e3ad-168c-eb11-a825-0050569d715d>.
This exhibition asked designers and artists to imagine a happy place, and
then bring it to life. Filled with colour, adventure and fantasy, this
collection of works embrace design as a way to bring happiness and hope.

After the many challenges we have faced in the last twelve months, there is
no greater time than now to envision our future and explore the ideas
fuelling the work of design leaders, innovators and makers.

I hope you can join us at one of the many thought-provoking Melbourne
Design Week programs across the next week.

Best wishes,
