About the speakers
Curious Practice is an award-winning, design-orientated practice operating in the domains of architecture, landscape, urbanity, people and the environment. Warren Haasnoot and Greg Lee established Curious Practice in 2017 with the ambition to create crafted and meaningful pieces of architecture in a regional context. The practice name comes from the idea that curiosity is fundamental to the creation of architecture. It marks a desire to be inquisitive, interested, and eager. As a result, those spaces we form from curiosity are inherently intriguing, functional, and nuanced in the way they are experienced. Every project is influenced by the people’s lives it touches, an understanding of place, and a respect for the past, present and future. Curious Practice is an architecture firm based in Newcastle, Australia.
