Enduring Rationalism:
the architecture of Guy Maron
30 april 2025 - 30 May 2025
Award-winning South Australian Architect Guy Maron is responsible for some of Adelaide’s most iconic buildings, including the Bicentennial Conservatory in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Yet his body of works also includes significant housing projects, educational facilities, and commercial buildings. Fittingly this retrospective exhibition will be held at the Raffen Maron designed University of South Australia City West campus which was designed to promote interaction and the flow of ideas and knowledge between students and across disciplines.
Guy Maron AM spent his early years in Sydney working alongside well-known Australian architects before practising in North America. Maron’s journey then led him to Adelaide where he contributed to the city’s development whilst continuing to design significant buildings interstate and enter major architectural competitions.
Maron has said his architecture comes from ‘finding rational solutions to intricate problems’ with the credo ‘more for less’ informing his work, something evident across the photographs, drawings, and writings on display in this exhibition.
This exhibition is presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre and Architecture Museum, UniSA Creative
