# Event Details - **Event Name**: EmAGN Value Talk: living legacy of the Queensland Cultural Precinct - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 14 Jul, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Tue, 14 Jul, 2026 at 07:45 pm - **Event Description**: From Robin Gibson to Glasshouse Theatre: reflecting on the Queensland Cultural Centre’s legacy, evolution and future.About this EventThe Queensland Cultural Centre (QCC), designed by Robin Gibson, is intrinsic to the urban fabric of Brisbane, forming the backdrop of the city for the last four decades. As the city heads toward the world stage for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we reflect on this iconic precinct and its role in shaping the city’s identity.The Queensland Art Gallery opened first in 1982, followed by the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) in 1985, Queensland Museum in 1986, and State Library of Queensland in 1988. The addition of the Playhouse Theatre completed Gibson’s original masterplan in 1998. In 2015, the four original buildings were state heritage-listed. The 2006 Millennium Library Project, celebrating 20 years in 2026, transformed and renewed the Library for a new century, and in 2026, QPAC entered a new chapter with the addition of the Glasshouse Theatre. Designed by Brisbane’s own Blight Rayner, in partnership with Snøhetta, its undulating façade brings a new vernacular to South Bank, and the broader cultural precinct.Through four decades of alterations, renovations, and additions - all while showcasing local and worldwide talent - QCC has continued to evolve as one of Brisbane’s most significant public precincts. Its enduring legacy invites us to consider several questions: what defines a successful public building? How do we ensure modern icons remain protected amid rapid urban growth, and what does that process look like? And how should new additions respond to this significant heritage context?Presented by State Library of Queensland with the Emerging Architects and Graduate Network (EmAGN) and Brisbane Open House.Subscribe to be the first to know about our future events.Please consult our and before making your booking.We respect your privacy.
