The Walter Burley Griffin Society Inc invites you to the third annual Marion Mahony Griffin Lecture – a talk by Rosemarie Willett, B.Arch. M.B.Env.

Rosemarie’s presentation will engage with Marion as a person, architect and outstanding communicator of architectural ideas. A registered architect in Sydney, Rosemarie came to Canberra in 1983 to work on Parliament House for Mitchell Giurgola and Thorp. In undertaking extensive research on the planning of Canberra, she resurrected her dormant passion for the Griffins’ creative abilities and their connection with the ideas of Louis Sullivan.

Tickets: Members $10; Non-members $15 (seats limited, booking payments essential)
RSVP: 4 April. Enquiries phone 0416 249 002 or email WBGSinfo@gmail.com
Please send cheque or money order to The Treasurer, WBGS, 50 Gollan Street, Evatt ACT 2617

The Marion Mahony Griffin Lecture is an initiative of the Walter Burley Griffin Society Inc and organised by the Society’s Canberra Chapter with the support of the ACT Government. The lecture is part of the Canberra and Region Heritage Festival 2011 and is sponsored by the Canberra100 Taskforce.
