Atlantic Fellows for Social Equity: Jackson Clements Burrows Architects
The University of Melbourne’s New Student Precinct (NSP) is not an unfamiliar place for Melburnians, particularly, among architects. It holds ground as a dynamic towering addition to the university’s rich heritage campus in Parkville, however, very few are familiar with what once occupied this site.
NELP Bulleen Park & Ride: Peter Elliott Architecture + Urban Design with GHD & CPB
Anyone who has passed the new freeway interchange in Bulleen near Heide Museum of Modern Art will be shocked by the amount of new infrastructure works that are occurring. It is an other-worldly dystopia, evoking feelings of a concrete Mad Max scene of gigantic machinery, and what appears
to be a village of portables and temporary fencing.
Designing therapeutic environments for residential aged care
How can we design for radical inclusion in residential aged care?
No I.D.s
Historical graffiti, and more recently, forms of street art exist as a rich archive of the life and times of a city and the many layers of its identity. I began photographing Melbourne’s graffiti in the late 1980s, when the local version of New York graffiti was coming of age.
Gore Street Apartment: Rebecca Lewis
I was 26 when I bought my apartment. Young, inexperienced, green as an olive. I had been house-hunting for nine months when I stepped inside the 1960s Gore Street apartment.
Wangaratta District Specialist School: Sibling Architecture
The recent addition to the Wangaratta District Specialist School’s ageing buildings from the 1980s and mostly relocatable classrooms, provided an opportunity for Sibling Architecture to design for wellbeing through creating tactile and tranquil spaces in a new learning hub.
Penang + architect Eleena Jamil
Eleena Jamil Architect challenges the typical materials and forms of Malaysia with the Bamboo Pavilion, a structure designed and built for the World Urban Forum (WUF) 2018 hosted in Kuala Lumpur.
Jaghori + architect Belqis Youssofzay
By introducing Youssofzay, I want to draw attention to the significance of Afghan role models here in Australia. My sense of cultural and ethical alignment with Youssofzay’s work enables me to imagine a positive and powerful engagement in the professional world.
Our Solarpunk future
If we do not or cannot envision the future we want, how can we create it? For many of us, it’s all too easy to imagine the terrible, particularly as we witness the damage caused as we edge up towards 1.5°C of global heating today.
Chennai + architect Chitra Vishwanath
With a portfolio ranging from installations to masterplans, architect Chitra Vishwanath and her practice Biome Environmental Solutions focus on designing spaces that are simple yet functional and conscious of the site’s ecology via abundant daylight, natural ventilation, local materials and water conservation.
