2012 Theme – Community & Architecture
This year’s theme has been chosen because as part of MA|A, Federation Square will have its 10th birthday. As a meeting place for Melbourne this is an opportunity to think about how people come together around architecture. How do we interact, connect and benefit from the creation of spaces. How do we create community with our neighbours, friends, our work colleagues and the idea of the city?

MA|A is a Melbourne-wide festival that explores your city, your home and your architecture.

MA|A is an abbreviation of Melbourne Architecture Annual and is part of National Architecture Week activities organised by the Australian Institute of Architects (Victorian Chapter).

Through a program of exhibitions, installations, films, tours, talks and workshops based around Federation Square and Melbourne, the week-long festival aims to engage a public discussion about architecture.
