Taglietti's Heritage Schools
Award-winning architect, Dr Enrico Taglietti, describes the four schools he designed -- Latham, Flynn, Giralang and Gowrie primary schools -- in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. In this interview, Dr Taglietti refers to the defining influence of Latham, Flynn and Giralang in terms of the evolution of an educational philosophy during the 1970s. Gowrie, which came later, is seen as an important finality to the progression.
