This publication showcases the work of a group of Masters students from the University of Sydney, who reimagined alternative museums by repurposing the Octagon Offices in Parramatta—designed by John Andrews and currently at serious risk of demolition.

 

It features short texts by Hannes Frykholm and Olivia Hyde, alongside two visual essays by Hamish McIntosh. Together, documents, words, and images open a dialogue about the kinds of institutions we collectively aspire to build—after all, we are always constructing values.
