Overview

Discover the world of The Global Architect, Enrico Taglietti (1926–2019), a visionary whose design principles shaped modern Australian architecture and left an indelible imprint on Canberra, the city he and his wife Franca chose to call home. Celebrating the centenary of Taglietti's birth, Taglietti: Life in Design explores the life, philosophy, and legacy of one of Australia's most original architects.

Trace the compelling story of Taglietti's arrival in Australia through the groundbreaking 1955 Italy in Australia exhibition at David Jones, Sydney, which introduced the latest Milanese design to a globally curious audience and demonstrated the soft power of design diplomacy. Encounter iconic projects from Canberra's Cinema Center to Sydney's St Antony's Parish Church, and gain insight into some of his extraordinary residential designs. Highlighting his collaborative spirit, international acclaim, and significant contribution to Canberra's architectural identity, Taglietti: Life in Design is a landmark exhibition celebrating a true visionary in architecture and design.
