Tim Ross – Why Modernism Matters

Arguably best known for his work on TV and radio, comedian Tim Ross has also always had a passion for architecture and design. He will discuss his passion for Modernist architecture as he presents his broad, often hilarious case for the protection of our architecture of the mid-20th century.

Tim passionately supports important issues in Australian architecture and design. In 2018 he was awarded the National Trust Heritage Award for Advocacy, which recognised his activism in drawing attention to Australia’s legacy of modernist architecture and promoting its conservation. In 2019 Tim was awarded the National President’s Prize from the Australian Institute of Architects, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the architecture profession.
