Lecture | Robin Boyd Foundation

Principal Juan Miró will be the first speaker in Melbourne, Australia for the Robin Boyd Foundation’s series “Reflections on City and Nature” on Thursday, January 16. Tickets are available here.

Nature has profoundly influenced the development of the built environment across America, serving as a constant thread weaving together the region’s history and storytelling to the present day. Miró Rivera Architects, for over two decades, have crafted a distinguished body of work that celebrates this relationship. Their designs blend art and architecture in ways that honor history, engage the urban fabric, and harmonise with the natural world.

This lecture delves into the innovative contributions of Miró Rivera Architects, placing their projects within a global framework of ideas surrounding nature, urbanism, and historical continuity. It will highlight Austin as a modern “Arcadia.” This concept—a harmonious landscape where beauty and nature converge—offers a profound perspective on Austin’s evolving character and its deep connection to place and heritage.
