Series Two: Catalyst Conversations

Catalyst projects are projects that precipitate or seed change.
This new podcast series presents a series of knowledge building activities explore five interconnected, significant Victorian built environment themes and architectural projects that have effects beyond their boundaries connecting people to place through good
design.

All of the projects are aspirational legacy projects that seek to leverage good design in the provision of public benefit and public value beyond the straightforward delivery of bricks and mortar.

This production was made possible with support from the Alastair Swayn Foundation. Find out more at http://alastairswaynfoundation.org.

Series One: This is Public
This is Public is a series of interviews with the thinkers, doers and advocates who are shaping our city. The first series asks big questions about the future of our city, with a special focus on built and natural environments and the people who shape them.

Hosts Emma Telfer and Sally McPhee saw the opportunity to make more public the stories, ideas and issues that are being addressed by Open House Melbourne’s expanded public program.

As a city, Melbourne is undergoing radical growth and transformation, but to plan for its full potential, we need to understand its past and realise collective ownership over its future. This is Public responds to Open House Melbourne's mission by making critical city issues more public, providing a thought-provoking resource about the future of our city.

Series one was brought to life by the Metro Tunnel Creative Program, a program dedicated to enhancing city life alongside the Metro Tunnel. Episodes are recorded at and supported by The Espy, one of Melbourne’s most cherished and significant public meeting houses.
