Celebrating Adrian Snodgrass (1931-2025)

Working in design and research in Asia from the mid 1950s to the mid 1970s, Adrian Snodgrass became the leading Asian architecture scholar in Australia, influencing architectural practice and education in Australia, and scholarship worldwide. In the 1950s-60s he introduced Japanese art and architecture to Sydney School architects Peter Muller, Bruce Rickard, Bert Read, Alan Gilbert, Neville Gruzman, Ian McKay, resulting in Japanese influences in their work. In the 1980s-90s he influenced successive generations of Sydney University architecture students, through his spell binding lectures, design studios and PhD supervision. In 1996, Adrian and Anna Rubbo founded the Faculty journal Architecture Theory Review.

The University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning invites you to join former colleagues Anna Rubbo, Glen Hill and Michael Tawa, along with Judith Snodgrass and family and friends of Adrian Snodgrass, to an evening celebrating his remarkable career.
