About
Four stops. Four architectural movements. One extraordinary hour.
Know your classicism from your postmodernism, and learn enough about architecture to impress even your most insufferably clever friends.
Join filmmaker, broadcaster and captivating storyteller Nick Heydon for a joyful journey through four extraordinary Melbourne landmarks, each revealing a different way of imagining our city.
1. Parliament House | Classicism
Architecture as an expression of power, permanence and authority.
2. Orica House | Modernism
The radical vision that changed the way we build our cities.
3. Parliament Station | Postmodernism
Deep underground, discover the architecture that dared to break the rules.
4. Spring Street Grocer | Post-postmodernism
A playful new chapter in Melbourne's architectural imagination.
We'll rise high above the streets and dive deep underground to discover how bold ideas, extraordinary imagination and a little audacity helped make Melbourne one of the world's great cities.
See Melbourne differently. And never look at a building quite the same way again.
This is an all weather event.
