March 28 to May 24 John Andrews: Architect of Uncommon Sense – this showcase surveys the career of the Sydney & Harvard-trained architect, arguably Australia’s most globally influential. From the megastructural Scarborough College in Toronto of 1965 to the high-tech pods of Intelsat HQ in Washington, DC, 1988, via a series of key projects in Australia, Andrews’ designs were remarkable. But in the face of postmodernism’s rise, his fame quickly waned. Andrews, however, remained committed to modernism: design should make the built world better for everyone. Organised through themes including ‘Geography’, ‘Urbanism’ and ‘Sustainability’, the exhibition features period drawings, images and documents, with new photographs by Noritaka Minami. Curated by Paul Walker and Kevin Liu.

To May 12 A Blueprint for Ruins – group show. Beneath the glossy surface of progress lurks a simmering undercurrent of violence.

A Blueprint for Ruins reverberates with the shadows of the dispossessed within China’s urban metamorphosis.
