circlesix
circlesix is a shared space for critical thinking and collective exchange. Set on Level 6 of Harry Seidler’s Australia Square, it is the social heart of our Sydney studio by day and, once a month, an open public forum where peers from architecture, design, academia and the wider built environment explore and debate the ideas shaping our cities and communities.
Founded by Richard Francis-Jones, Design Director of fjcstudio and author of Truth and Lies in Architecture, circlesix extends the studio beyond practice into a place of shared thought and dialogue.
Monthly talks
Conversations with architects, engineers, artists and thinkers on place, culture and the role of design in the public realm.
Podcast
Talks and conversations recorded for listeners beyond the room.
The venue
A circular, column-free floor designed by Seidler and Pier Luigi Nervi as an exhibition level, reimagined by fjcstudio to host up to 120 people, from studio café to amphitheatre.
