A live-streamed conversation with Pezo von Ellrichshausen

In this conversation, Chilean art and architecture studio Pezo von Ellrichshausen discuss LESS, a structure they designed at Dairy Road, Canberra, Australia. LESS is a public space made from water, plants and concrete. It is a modest but important experiment – a prototype that sets the tone and direction for future works at the evolving Dairy Road site by providing learnings on how nature and built-form might better work together.

This talk was part of Possible Futures, a series of talks and events aimed at informing the development of the Dairy Road Master Plan, across the areas of working, recreation, public space and living.
