Modernist Adelaide Walking Tour

Step into the mid-century jet age of Mad Men-era Adelaide, when a new wave of modernist architecture transformed the city's streetscapes and skyline.

Many of Adelaide's finest examples of 50s, 60s and 70s architecture still stand today, often walked past without a second glance but well worth a closer look.

From Australia's first curtain-wall high-rise of the 50s, to the International Style of the 60s and the brutalism of the 70s, this one-hour walk through downtown Adelaide traces three decades of architectural revolution.

Led by award-winning mid-century architecture enthusiast Stuart Symons, it's for anyone with a love of design, history, or simply looking up and noticing the beauty in Adelaide's everyday buildings.

Weather policy: the Modernist Adelaide walking tour will go ahead rain or shine.
