Quick Works is back!
Bigger, bolder, and bursting with ideas.
Join us for the second edition of this fast-paced evening where the industry’s leading voices take the stage. Top architects, landscape architects, developers, and not-for-profits will deliver short, punchy presentations, no rambling, just sharp insights and bold ideas.
We’re diving into four themes: People, Place, Personal, and Professional. Expect bold ideas, fresh perspectives, and plenty of inspiration.
Drinks, bites, and great conversation included.
This event will be hosted by Daniel Moore, Director of Open Creative Studio and the Executive Director of the Australian Institute of Architects Victorian Chapter.
Our last Quick Works event reached capacity, so we encourage early registrations to avoid missing out.

multiplicity is a design based architecture practice founded by co-directors interior designer Sioux Clark and architect Tim O'Sullivan
Our practice name has been chosen to convey that architecture and design as professional pursuits engulf a multiplicity of disciplines and that the successful resolution of a given brief as physically space requires the fullest utilisation of those disciplines.
Both as individuals and directors of multiplicity we are committed to our careers as independent thinkers and individualistic designers, hopefully creating spaces and built forms that are intrinsically beautiful, highly useable, readily enjoyable, environmentally friendly and which contribute to the private endeavours and aspirations of our client/s and the public domain.
