Proud Sponsors of the Brisbane Writers Festival
Built Environment Collective (BEC) is delighted to support the Brisbane Writers Festival, an event that celebrates diverse voices, sparks dialogue & strengthens cultural connections.
As proud sponsors of the Lloyd Rees event, we’re pleased to help showcase one of Australia’s most significant artistic legacies. This year’s program includes the launch of a new book on Rees, offering fresh insights into his career as both an artist and an influential architectural illustrator & lecturer.
The event will be of particular interest to architects and artists alike, reflecting the enduring impact of Rees’s architectural drawings and his contribution to Australian art and design.
This event reveals:
- How Rees envisioned Brisbane through designs for an opera house and railway station as a child;
- His role as a transformative art instructor for generations of architecture students at the University of Sydney;
- How his poetic representations of light and architectural form continue to inspire contemporary creative thinking.
We look forward to joining fellow supporters, writers, and readers in Brisbane for this year’s festival. Stay tuned via the Brisbane Powerhouse or Brisbane Writers Festival channels for booking and time particulars.
