Conserving Modernism in Kew
Nigel Lewis
Nigel Lewis is a heritage architect who entered private practice in 1976. Early projects included the first urban conservation projects for many parts of inner Melbourne and rural historic site surveys. As a resident of Kew for a large part of his life, his knowledge and interest in contemporary architecture is long-standing. The Kew Historical Society’s 2020 McIntyre Lecture will explore how modern buildings slip through the net due to the formulaic application of planning controls. Street presentation of modernist buildings will be a major theme of the lecture. Download handbill
