Booked out!

Sean Godsell, architect of the inaugural MPavilion, appears in conversation with Melbourne Festival creative director Josephine Ridge. Hear how Sean’s pavilion was inspired by pragmatic design responses to the Australian landscape—as well as outback sheds and verandas—and how his versatile and welcoming design echoes the way plants respond to the sun. This flair for flexibility and sustainability is a hallmark of Sean’s architectural practice, visible in previous works such as the ‘breathable’ photovoltaic skin of his RMIT Design Hub, and his award-winning Future Shack. Take a seat within our 2014 pavilion and discover its architect’s approach.
