MPavilion Opening November 2020

Andrew Mackenzie

Andrew Mackenzie is an architectural writer, editor, publisher and advisor who has spent the last 25 years with no fixed professional abode. As the founding director of Uro he has helped publish 30 books, and is an online editor of Foreground, finding new online audiences for landscape and urbanism. He has written widely, says ‘yes’ negligently, travels begrudgingly and, as the youngest of seven children, talks loudly. He has been advisor to, and MC of, the Living Cities Forum since 2017. Through his architectural consultancy City Lab, he advises public and private sector clients across Australia on why design is their friend (if they could just stop popping it in the eye…)

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
