ARCHITECTS design buildings, right? But theres a lot more to the profession than meets the eye, with all to be revealed at a unique event in Tamworth.

ARCHITECTS design buildings, right? But theres a lot more to the profession than meets the eye, with all to be revealed at a unique event in Tamworth.

Architecture on Show is at Ray Walsh House tomorrow night and is a chance for members of the public to hear from local architects and view the work of the winners of the recent Australian Institute of Architects Country Division Awards.

Its the first time an event of this kind has been staged in the city, and Tamworth architect and seminar co-ordinator Nick Brown, from Studio Two Architecture, is excited about sharing his passion for his profession.

Hell be joined by Carolyn McFarland (nee Austin, a former Tamworth girl) from Austin McFarland in Wingham; Michael McPhillips, from Magoffin and Deakin in Armidale; and Virginia Wong-See, of Armidale firm Virginia Wong-See Architects.

Each of the architects will be making a 15-minute presentation, with some slides of their work, to illustrate what theyve done in the local community and why.

There are so many people interested in design and architecture in regional Australia, so hopefully they can come along and enjoy an informative night and ask a lot of questions, Mr Brown said.

Architecture on Show began in 2010 as an open day during the Sydney Architecture Festival.

Since then the program has grown throughout the metropolitan and regional areas of NSW to include 20 local councils.
