I couldn't help reflecting on the state of Perth contemporary building design when reading about the recent home open programme in Melbourne. Melbourne as a whole collective conciousness has a much stronger design aesthetic than Perth. Certainly Perth is a younger city, and has less time to develop a cultural identity, but even still the mainstream in Perth thoughts about housing are dominated by off-the-shelf housing solutions. Melbourne recently opened 30 or so architect designed homes to the public for a day and had 50,000 visitors through them in one day. Something like this is entirely do-able in Perth. I wonder would it generate the same level of interest? Only one way to find out I guess.
