History in a Coffee Cup - Modernist Architecture
Thursday, October 1, 2026 · 10:00 AMClaremont Museum · Claremont
Description
Join us to hear from Warren Andersen, an urban planner and passionate architectural historian. Andersen traces how emigre and immigrant architects found fertile ground for innovation in two different settings - sun drenched California and the windswept coasts of Western Australia. At the heart of the presentation is the singular figure of Iwan Iwanoff, a Bulgarian-born architect who made his mark on the suburbs of Perth, Australia with bold sculptural concrete block designs. Stay for FREE morning tea and chats after the talk.
