About Storey of Melbourne

With a name like mine maybe was I born to like architecture !

This blog is really just my Instagram posts, which cover a fairly random range of Melbourne buildings and issues.

They include places I happen to go past, from colonial to postmodern, especially the CBD (my particular obsession), architects I track down, and things I remember in my 25 years working at the National Trust of Australia (Victoria).

Lots of great information, so I thought I'd better get them in a more easily found format, you know, for posterity.

There's also published articles I've done over the years, which are somewhat better worded.

I was born in Melbourne, did a degree in Architecture at Melbourne University in the early 1980s, then I got interested in cities, so I did a Masters in Urban Design at RMIT, which was a lot of fun.

Right now (2025), I'm semi-retired, so I've got time to go back through my life's work and Instagram posts going back to 2013.
