A night in the city

VEIL celebrated last night its role in seeking sustainable communities  with the launch of ‘Visioning Melbourne 2032: City of Short Distances’ showcasing design professionals’ and students’ work from the last four years.

Chris Ryan's table top speech

The films shown on the big screen at Federation Square during the launch will be a feature of life on the Square over the next 3 months. The one-minute films respond to the questions: What might a sustainable and resilient neighbourhood look like? How can we transform existing urban communities through design interventions?

Chris Ryan VEIL Director provided the added highlight of a table top speech inviting us to be viral along with VEIL (ViralEIL) and spread the message and the actions! ‘To develop low-carbon resilient communities from within the existing fabric of (sub)urban life it is important to have two things: visions of desirable future living scenarios - and visible interventions, today, that can re-orient the path of future development’.
