Whichever destination he’s travelling to, Anthony Burke makes a point of seeking out the best local architecture. As the host of Grand Designs Australia and an architecture professor at University of Technology Sydney, it’s a holiday ritual he says is “pretty obvious”.
“I can’t think of a place where I didn’t visit at least one building of note, to ground my thinking in the culture and design of that place,” he says. “It’s the way I tune into where I am.”
