What sort of icons should architecture have? What are the main elements that could make a definitive architecture icon? We all know the icon for a toilet, but what should an icon for sustainability look like?
BVN is holding the first ever “Icons for Architecture” Iconathon Workshops to create iconography that can be used to explain architectural ideas.
Being run as an IconLocal through The Noun Project the workshops will form part of the social design movement around the world.
Sydney and Brisbane workshops will be run simultaneously on Friday 28 November from 3 pm (2pm Brisbane) to 6pm.

An Iconathon is like a hackathon but for icons. Small groups of people, necessarily architects and graphic designers, as well as those passionate about iconography, come together to make something really useful in just a few hours.
There is a challenge to identify and then draw a memorable icon in less than three hours.
This is the perfect event for those who need to communicate architectural ideas but find that there isn't an easy visual language to do so or for those who love making a difference. ENDS
