From the Victorian Executive Director

摘要

In May we welcomed Carey Lyon as a Gold Patron of the journal. Patrons allow us to continue providing and publishing a place for professional discourse. We are thankful for your support. We also celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Burra Charter, first adopted in 1979 at the historic South Australian mining town of Burra. The charter defines the basic principles and procedures to be followed in the conservation of heritage places. The 'nitty-gritty' of the architectural profession was discussed with Ask an Architect. We also brushed up on our knowledge of designing in decorative concrete with an ArchiTECH session by Holcim (Australia). Graeme Gunn discussed 'Embracing Space' in the Gold Medal Series seminar and we rounded out the month with a warming ArchiTECH session by Supreme Heating.
