This issue is about sharing work that evokes a feeling and has a certain quality of space – things like abundant natural light, clever design solutions, charm, homeliness, nature, serenity, character, authenticity. Often, it’s these intangible qualities that are the hardest to get right.
For this issue of MEZZANINE, we’re taking a step back to ponder the years to come. We’re tackling questions around what longevity in design is, what quality craftsmanship looks like and how investing in architecture and design can be valuable now and in the years ahead.
This issue of MEZZANINE we celebrate and show that the adage ‘an architect never builds anything until they are 40’ is no longer true. Accordingly, we have asked our editorial advisory board to nominate those they consider to be leading the charge into the next era of Australian creativity.
As we break the city limits and leave the motorways behind – this issue of MEZZANINE shows that architecture and design has a true relevance in everyday life – no matter where you live. We hope you enjoy the ride. It is bloody incredible ‘out here’.
