Future Practice (written by Rory Hyde) revealed alternative methods of design practice at the edge of architecture.

Nine years since it’s publication, it is even more important that we empower emerging designers to have a more expansive approach to their practice. Challenges within today’s society demand we confront conventional practice with collaboration—and become more adaptable for an uncertain future.

Hear about experiences outside traditional practice with a line-up of esteemed guests in a lively tag-team conversation as part of the annual MRelay series. Featuring over ten speakers, this experimental talkfest will explore alternative modes of practice and ask the question—can we rethink design education, and the opportunities available to graduates?

In a sports relay, a team covers a distance in turns, passing a baton from one runner to the next. In MRelay, thinkers, activists, provocateurs, architects and design doyennes share insights and ideas in this marathon conversation.

It’ll be fast-paced, exhilarating and, best of all, deeply unpredictable. Emboldened by cheering crowds, drinks, and music!

Hosted by Monash Architecture Around group.

This event is part of Melbourne Design Week 2022.

In collaboration with

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
