About
Discover the world of Enrico Taglietti (1926–2019), a visionary whose design principles shaped modern Australian architecture. Celebrating the centenary of Taglietti’s birth, Taglietti: Life in Design explores the life, philosophy, and legacy of one of Australia’s most original architects.
By revisiting Taglietti’s life and work, the exhibition positions him as a truly global architect whose career spanned Europe, Africa, America, and Australia. It also foregrounds his deep engagement with local communities – work that continues to resonate today, particularly in much-loved projects such as Giralang Primary School Canberra, St Kilda Public Library Melbourne, and St Anthony Parish Church in Sydney.
At a time when speed and efficiency often dominate design and construction, Taglietti’s work reminds us of the enduring value of civic life and human scale.

Keen is how mates lock in plans: see who’s free, who’s keen, and actually make it happen.
