Between Sydney and London: Earle Arney on Stories Indesign
Published
The London-based architect was recently in Australia for SyLon, an event broadcast simultaneously in Sydney and London to explore housing solutions across both cities.
Earle Arney is originally from Perth, but today finds himself coordinating SyLon – a globe-spanning event that interrogates housing and density in relation to the cities of Sydney and London. Having been in Sydney for the dual city event in July 2025, he joins me from London to discuss housing, density, the two cities’ architectural histories, his global career path and more.
