Enrico Taglietti's architecture and exhibition by bike

Presented by Australian Institute of Architects ACT chapter, Pedal Power, and Canberra by Bike

Join our unique bike tour exploring Enrico Taglietti's (1926-2019) architectural landmarks in the inner north, hear from his former colleague Eric Martin AM, and finish at the Taglietti: Life in Design exhibition at Canberra Museum and Art Gallery.

Starting at Taglietti Square, outside the Dickson Library, you'll get an overview of Taglietti's life, and learn about his designs of the library and the nearby community health centre. Then we'll roll to O'Connor, and go inside the Polish White Eagle Club which Taglietti designed in in the early 1970s as “symbolise a big tent under which the whole Polish family in Canberra would gather”. The Club will also be holding its regular Continental Deli market 10:30am - 1pm.

Then, we'll roll to the Cinema Centre at 50 Bunda St, which today hosts Fiction nightclub, before concluding the tour at the Canberra and Museum Art Gallery for the Taglietti exhibition and coffee in the cafe.

Bring locks and sunglasses, and we'll take care of the rest.
