Another M.A.D June weekend for your diaries

Well it's nearly that time of the year again when all design addicts can soak up a whole weekend of great architecture and culture in the middle of Brisbane suburbia. That's right Modernist Architecture and Design (M.A.D) is on again!

The people behind Australian Modern are putting on a weekend of events culminating with the ever popular Sunday self-drive interiors house tour of Brisbane.

Keep the weekend of Friday 28 June to Sunday 30 June free, if you want a design fix! And make sure you book early, as spaces are strictly limited.

I'm liking the sound of the Cool Caravans and Cocktails night. Apparently a fleet (?) of vintage caravans from around Australia will make an appearance on the night...which makes me curious...

Hope you guys will be able to make it and see you then.
