Australian Urban is a biannual urban design podcast hosted by Josh Blashki. Each episode I interview a guest urbanist or designer who brings a deep understanding of an Australian project, precinct or place.

Architect Graham Burrows (JCB Architects) and landscape architect Chris Sawyer (Site | Office) reflect on their two-decade long involvement in reshaping the St Kilda foreshore and designing the new curved pier. We discuss the project’s evolution, the idea of “organised chaos” in public space, and how bold urban design moves can capture the spirit of a city.
