What can an 80-year-old book teach us about Melbourne today?

Join us for a fascinating evening celebrating the 80th anniversary of X-Ray the City! (1946), Ernest Fooks' visionary work on architecture, urban planning and the future of our cities.

Hear from a panel of leading architects, planners and historians as they explore Fooks' remarkable legacy, his influence on Melbourne's built environment, and his contributions to the Jewish community. Discover why his ideas about housing, public health, green space and liveable cities remain as relevant today as they were eight decades ago.

Did you or someone you know live in a home designed by Ernest Fooks, or have memories of one of his buildings? We'd love you to share your stories as part of this special celebration.

📅 Tuesday 18 August 2026 🕡 6:30pm
