The Thousands

Not knowing stuff is underrated. Not knowing stuff means I’m always discovering stuff. The list of things I don’t know about is long so I’m always pleasantly fascinated when I come across things like cars, chemicals, the financial world and times-tables. This city is bubbling with things I don’t know about, and lovely people that want to share them.

Enter Eoghan and Simeon, the passionate architects behind Sydney Architecture Walks. They know about buildings and shit, and share their knowledge with a genuine and contagious spirit. The boys lead small walking groups about the metropolis, unpacking the city and repacking it from an architect’s perspective. The tours are intellectual but so accessible, and craft an economic, political and environmental understanding of city as sign.**There are four tasty flavours available. SAW 1 explores the work of Richard Johnson and the captivating Renzo Piano, whilst SAW 2 concentrates on Jorn Utzon. SAW 3 exposes the politics and raw beauty of the harbour foreshore, whilst SAW 4 charts the relationship between art, place and landscape. Each tour reveals the city’s soul in it’s architectural history and future, and those who know nothing about architecture leave wanting to learn more.
