About This OpportunityOpen House Hobart is held on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 November 2024. This year we are also hosting a Day on the Domain on Sunday 3 November 2024.The program offers a behind-the-scenes look at Hobart’s built environment and is a key part of the Australian Institute of Architects public advocacy program.Open House Hobart encourages a greater understanding of the value of good design and the inner workings of a city. The program offers free public experiences, including open buildings (often not publicly accessible), walks and talks led by architects, designers, historians and in-the-know locals. Participants are invited to be a tourist in the city, share buildings and spaces, take a peek at how others live, work and play, and see how the city’s infrastructure works.Additional RequirementsSince its inauguration in 2013, Open House Hobart (OHH) has quickly grown to become one of Hobart’s most widely attended architecture events.
