Great architecture and design has incredible power. It has the power to make us feel good, to make us healthier, to energise or calm us, to help us think and reflect, to connect us with nature and with other great design around the world. It can transform the way we live.

Rediscovering the power of our modernist heritage has brought thousands of visitors to Adelaide for the love of our architecture — and it’s taken our architectural heritage to Australia and the world. South Australia’s great architects of the 1940s–1970s have had a powerful impact on the physical, cultural and social transformation of postwar Adelaide.
