Join architectural photographer Shantanu Starick and architect Mel Bright for the launch of Therefore: Autumn House, in Melbourne.

Therefore is a series of surveys relying on photographic studies to explore the built realities that shape our environment. Each volume captures a single project through images and edited conversation—photographs that don’t just document, and dialogues that don’t just affirm. Paired together, they reveal the thinking behind the design, making it available for reflection.

Therefore, Autumn House
A deep dive into Studio Bright’s Autumn House in Melbourne. A layered, luminous home balancing old and new, accompanied by an extended dialogue with architect Mel Bright.

When: 6pm Thursday 27 November 2025

Tickets:
$7 - Ticket price redeemable as a discount from any book purchases
OR
$39 - Entry includes a copy of the book, ready to collect on the night
