Architecture Study Tour of Europe with Malcolm Carver
4 October -23 October 2012
Malcolm Carver
Malcolm Carver (AAIA RIBA AWI) is an Architect and former Principal of Scott Carver Architects, a highly successful Sydney based practice which has won numerous awards for their work including the RAIA National Environment Award. Over the past 35 years Malcolm has travelled extensively in Europe, Asia and the Americas. During that time a number of visits have been made to both Japan and China to follow the major influences of the past in their interpretation of contemporary architecture.
His passion for architecture is only matched by a keen interest in sketching and painting and has had solo exhibitions of his work. He has devoted these experiences to creating extensive travel sketchbooks, providing valuable inspiration for architecture and his studio work.
Mostly three famous architects • CORBUSIER • AALTO • GEHRY
The tour concentrates predominantly on the works of Charles-Edouard Jeannerat – better known as Le Corbusier – in and beyond Paris, and Alvar Aalto's key works in Paris, Helsinki and Jyvaskyla, with a digression to visit Frank Gehry's Guggenheim museum and some of the important projects generated by and after it in Bilbao. We will also be visiting many recent buildings in Berlin and Luzern. We have also allowed adequate time for participants to enjoy the many galleries, museums and other attractions in the cities we visit. The tour provides a rare opportunity for architects, urban designers, landscape architects, students and graduates of these areas and anyone else interested in buildings and architecture and how cities are made.
Limited Number of participants – So Book Early
A Professional Development Opportunity.

The following comments were from participants on our 2010 USA tour:
'Overall I had a terrific time and wished I'd done this sort of thing earlier in my career- would have put a lot of things into perspective. Thank you Malcolm in particular for your depth of knowledge and good cheer'.
'A fantastic tour and very much appreciated by me- not an architect, but very interested in architecture'.
'Enjoyed it immensely'.
'A very good and unique tour. I intend to spread the word!'
'It's certainly the best way to cover many sites and has to be value for money when one considers the huge amount of planning involved. Malcolm's DVD (of the tour) is fantastic'.
'Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Malcolm was very informative and amusing. Thank you for a great tour'.
'Overall very interesting and almost impossible to see so much yourself in such a short time frame'.
