Still open — but not for long.

The Architects’ Art Exhibition continues for four more days only, closing Sunday 22 March.
This is your opportunity to invest in original works by architect-artists whose practices blur the line between art, craft and design. Many past exhibitors have gone on to major success — and every artwork in the exhibition is available to purchase.

“Resilience is a big idea, touching on a host of social, environmental and economic factors. This forum is all about landing specific and tangible ideas within that big picture, testing them amongst experts and drawing up a plan for action.” – Professor Anthony Burke (MC)

Insight to Impact: Rethinking City Resilience forum on Monday, 27 October 2025 at the State Library of Queensland will unpack the core themes of resilience – from climate-responsive design and risk management to inclusive governance and cooling strategies.

Earn 4 formal CPD points and connect with leaders driving urban resilience across disciplines.

IN HARM’S WAY: URBAN WATER AND RESILIENT CITIES | 2 FORMAL CPD ON DEMAND

Climate change puts additional pressure on the already overburdened “urban water systems” in Australian cities. Extreme hydro-meteorological events become more intense and frequent and impact water quality, supply security and resource management. This module explores a topic from a holistic perspective, incorporating insights from environmental science, architecture, engineering landscape architecture and urban planning.

IN HARM’S WAY: CYCLONE RESILIENCE – A HOLISTIC APPROACH | 2 FORMAL CPD ON DEMAND

Climate change affects the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones and storms. Current scientific predictions indicate that tropical cyclones are likely to become less frequent. However, a more significant proportion of cyclones are projected to be highly intense over the coming decades and deliver more intense rainfall. Tropical cyclones in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northen Territory caused devastating damage to the built environment and communities. Community resilience to tropical cyclones can be strengthened by improving new homes’ design and construction quality, retrofitting existing buildings and adaptive governance.

Vale Graham Francis De GRUCHY, FAIA (1924-2025)

Graham was born in Johannesburg, South Africa on the 11th February 1924. As a schoolboy he was inspired to be an architect after seeing a famous 1938 issue of The Architectural Forum with publication of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work including Falling Water. In 1943 he enrolled in the architecture course at Johannesburg’s University of Witwatersrand, but after eighteen months, he enlisted for service with the South African Air Force.

Graham de Gruchy was a generous benefactor for the University’s which holds records relating to his career. In 2017, he received a long overdue Fellowship of the Australian Institute of Architects and in 2024 he celebrated his 100th birthday. He died in Brisbane on 28th February 2025.

Graham was the oldest member of the Australian Insitute of Architects, Queensland Chapter.
