Learn about the architectural history of the Sydney Opera House with Architecture Club by getting creative through a series of fun and playful design exercises for beginners or design lovers.

Sails as Sunshades
As Sydney becomes hotter our suburbs will require more shade. In this workshop in groups we will create Urban canopies inspired by Utzons love of sailboats and being out on the water. We will consider ecology, the importance of water and shade infrastructure as we reimagine the future of Sydney. This will be an Innovative Materials challenge
