In our weekly interview about objects, the comedian and architecture enthusiast tells us about a memento of his late mother and a simple metal tin that sparks joy
He’s best known as a comedian, radio host and one half of Merrick and Rosso, but Tim Ross is also a self-confessed architecture and design nerd. For the last 11 years Ross has performed a live show about buildings around the world. He also serves as a member of the national architecture awards jury and has received prizes for his heritage advocacy.
Now Ross is hosting a new season of Designing a Legacy, where he will uncover buildings that tell a different story about Australian architecture – from incredible private homes to a surf club, motel, museum and mosque.
