inDETAIL with John Wardle, Wardle – Hobart

Brickworks is excited to welcome guest speaker John Wardle for the next instalment of inDETAIL.

John is a renowned design architect who builds upon a site’s topography, landscape, history, and context. As an astute communicator, he excels in connecting people and developing creative partnerships that foster novel thinking and innovative practices.

John believes that detail reveals the nature of material, function, and experience of occupation. His keen perception of each project's unique character and his innate understanding of materials are evident in his work.

John's conceptual sketches, known for their densely overlaid nature, reflect his meticulous search for the right line in every circumstance.

This event will be hosted by Stephen Varady, architect and collaborator, who shares Brickworks' passion for architecture, design and innovation.

John (he/him) connects those within and beyond the practice to harness the beliefs, skills and ambitions of many.

He describes himself as ‘leading from the middle’, which is certainly his place in the vast scheme of things at his award winning architectural practice.

As much a navigator as an architect, John enjoys drawing the many threads together to create something far greater than ever first imagined.

Highly perceptive to the unique character of every project, John has an innate understanding of the finer scale of materials. His conceptual sketches are known for their densely overlaid nature, a search for the right line for each and every circumstance.
