Dan Honey
Dan Honey is the Chief Creative Officer at Molonglo – an unconventional property development company that works across theory and practice. Molonglo’s development projects include a mixed-use building in Melbourne named Walk Up Village that approaches height in a meandering way. In Canberra, they are creating a productive refuge where light industry, working, living, recreation and entertainment will co-exist in a natural setting. Their Athenian projects are acts of reverse ruination across multiple sites. Molonglo’s publishing projects include Marble in Metamorphosis, a narrative non-fiction and photography book that contemplates the physical and cultural life of marble and Landscape as Protagonist, which imagines landscape as the place to begin a built project, not a way to finish it. Dan is concerned with the ethics of development, and how inclusive developments that extend ecology (rather than flatten it) can positively impact our wellbeing.
