Description

For the final episode in our Architecture Series – From Lego to Skyscrapers, Vince speaks with the profoundly significant architect, Karl Fender.  
 
As an avowed urbanist who loves life in the city, Karl and his firm Fender Katsalidis are responsible for designing some of Australia’s most groundbreaking buildings – from Eureka Tower, Australia 108 and Hobart’s daring MONA gallery to the Merdeka 118 mega skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur. 
 Vince and Karl explore how an adventurous childhood and early apprenticeship with Robin Boyd shaped his practice, the white lie that shifted his remarkable career, and why apartments mark the future of urban living.
