Melbourne Design Festival 8-17 July 2005 

The Melbourne Design Festival features a number of exhibitons and events at Federation Square and Melbourne generally.

One event is "In The Shed, an installation by design cooperative Moth Design, adding a DIY event with a difference to the Festival. Eight flat-pack sheds will be erected in Federation Square, each containing installations by different designers that reflect various perspectives and interpretations of DIY in Australia from past to present, such as instructions on how to ‘DIY’ your own life, to flat-packed DIY tools, packaged and ready to be constructed – once you’ve constructed the instructions. Moth Design will hold a free DIY Demonstration on the steps at Federation Square at 11am on Sunday, 10 July.

Other recent events added to the Festival calendar include CH2, a preview site tour of the revolutionary and award-winning Council House 2; Ripening Seed, a book design competition will be presented by Metropolis Bookshop; Design Landscapes Tours will tour the spectacular Design Landscapes windows, presented by Hidden Secrets Tours; and a schools program will be held in the surrounds of the Milan Award 2005, presented by VESKI (Victorian Endowment for Science, Knowledge and Innovation)...

Other highlights include: "the first Australian Poster Annual at Federation Square’s atrium; the Milan Award 2005 Exhibition at BMW Edge, Federation Square; ReadyMadeMarket at Federation Square carpark on Sunday 10 July, and Design Landscapes in shop windows across Melbourne, and many other events..."
