Bookshop by Uro
Melbourne Bound: The City in Books
From Saturday the 30th of July until Sunday 14 August 2022, Bookshop by Uro will open its doors to a limited exhibition, Melbourne Bound: The City in Books.
For Open House Melbourne 2022, Bookshop by Uro asks 10 Melburnians with a creative or professional interest in the built environment to nominate the books that have had the biggest influence on the way they understand the city, and their practice within it. The books form the centrepiece of a specially curated display of Melbourne-focused art, architecture and design publications within the shop.
Contributors: John Gollings, Christine Phillips, Andy Fergus, Kerstin Thompson, Eugenia Lim, Mark Jacques, Claire Martin, Conrad Hamann, Dan Hill, Jan van Schaik
Visit the Bookshop by Uro store in-person over the Open House Melbourne Weekend to see all contributors books on display, alongside their detailed descriptions on their chosen titles. If you can’t make it, keep a close eye on our website as we will be launching the a digital version of the exhibition online.
