Taste the architecture and public art that materialises contemporary conditions and attitudes. They’re part of a heady urban narrative revealing the historic, political and topographic forces lapping at Sydney like its tides. The walk zooms in on two contrasting, yet complimentary structures by Italian architect Renzo Piano and Melbourne’s Denton Corker Marshall.
It looks at their specific connections to Sydney Opera House and the unique working methods and approach of its architect Jørn Utzon. The walk also takes in public art works by Janet Laurence, Kan Yasuda and Tim Prentice.
