Object has worked with independent curators and local designers to create a series of guided audio tours that lead listeners on a trail of the best design and creativity hotspots in Australia’s east coast capital cities.
The tours are available for free download as podcasts for iPods, iPhones and mp3 players from www.audiodesignmuseum.com. The podcasts are narrated with personal anecdotes and stories from 100 local designers and include supporting maps and imagery.
The Audio Design Museum launched with a series of tours based on city precincts or design themes. Focus precinct tours for Melbourne include Flinders Lane and Gertrude Street, whilst Sydney precincts are Surry Hills/Darlinghurst and Paddington. Visitors can also take theme-based tours exploring the best furniture, textiles, fashion and jewellery in each city.
The project has been co-curated by independent designers Viviane Stappmanns and Kate Rhodes, drawing on their own knowledge of the design communities and extensive research into the creative hearts of Australian cities.
