Open House Melbourne is back in July with several exciting opportunities
for people to engage with their city.
The Open House Melbourne 2014 program includes the ever-popular Open
House Melbourne weekend on Saturday 26 July and Sunday 27 July as well as a range of
city based events throughout July such as Nite Art installations, the Speaker
Series free talks and a launch at the operating J Substation.
Historically, Open House Melbourne has been an annual event where a
single weekend each year is set aside for showcasing the diversity of
significant buildings and spaces that contribute to Melbourne’s unique design culture
and values.
The 2014 edition promises an enhanced experience with the weekend to be
followed by supporting programs throughout the year that will allow people
multiple opportunities to engage with their city.
Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said Open House provides a rare opportunity to
discover the hidden interiors behind some of Melbourne’s closed doors.
According to the Lord Mayor, Open House unlocks the city’s most
intriguing buildings, allowing residents to see their city in a new light and
enabling visitors to discover the interiors, architectural excellence and
historical distinction that make Melbourne a great design city.
