Cold change: Queensland modernism at risk
Architecture and the population of Brisbane have always seemed to me something of a mismatched couple. Pockets of society may talk and breathe design, and architecturally merited structures do indeed dot the suburbs and influence the city skyline, but an exhibit solely dedicated to architecture was, I thought, a somewhat over-zealous project. When I first saw the large poster advertising Hot Modernism flapping against the side of the State Library, I was sceptical.
A number of visits to Hot Modernism: Building Modern Queensland 1945–75 later and I must confess my ignorance. Not only due to my lack of insight into the plethora of the state’s postwar architecture, but also because on each occasion I witnessed great numbers of people of all ages reading, watching, interacting and commenting as they participated in the exhibition.
