This episode of STORIESINDESIGN was a little different, albeit similar to the live audience interview we did with British architect John McAslan last year. Anthony Burke was kind enough to join me at The Beacham in Sydney among a crowd of architecture enthusiasts for a live recording (apologies for the scratchy audio during audience questions).

The discussion covered Burke’s wide-ranging career, which has taken him to many corners of the globe as well as varied parts of the design spectrum – from education and architecture tours to media. Listen here for the full conversation on housing, the many ways in which people can be part of the wider architecture community, and much more.
