Dean’s Welcome Robyn Dowling Head of School and Dean

The Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning sits proudly on Gadigal land, where Aboriginal people have taught, learnt and nurtured since time immemorial.

At the beginning of the 2023 academic year the School was delighted to welcome new students from across our disciplines through activities on the site now known as Gadigal Green, once a popular Gadigal fishing spot in Blackwattle Creek. We also welcomed students joining us from dozens of places around Australia and across the world - Kamilaroi, Dharug, Melbourne, Beijing, Mexico to name a few. The collective learnings across these geographies come together in the ADP Graduate Show 2023.

Architects, designers and planners came together in myriad ways in 2023. A group of students and staff visited the studio of our Rothwell Co-Chairs and Pritzker Prize winners, Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal in Paris. The Tin Sheds Gallery hosted a full program of events and exhibitions, culminating with Amplify and a consideration of sound in the city. Through yarning circles and a project on indigenising the curriculum, staff and students continued to reflect on Indigenous perspectives and places in our curricula and practices.

Our interaction design students enjoyed learning in the space that was formerly the Nicholson Museum in the Quadrangle.

The School will continue its activities to lead thought on designed and built environments into 2024.

In conjunction with the University’s Sydney 2032 Strategy, we are expanding our post-professional offerings, welcoming students to our revised Bachelor of Architecture and Environments, and look forward to teaching in new spaces acrsoss campus. There are many other activities too numerous to mention: the Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning will remain a vibrant assembler of communities, materials, and practices for many years to come.

I wish our graduating students well and look forwarding to welcoming you back to the University throughout your careers.

Foreword Deborah Barnstone Head of Architecture

The collection of work on display in the Graduate Show this year is a marvellous kaleidoscopic view of the range of talent among our students at University of Sydney Architecture. Graduate shows are more than mere compilations of student work, they are comprehensive exhibitions of the many ways that young people are thinking today – the issues that preoccupy, even obsess them, and are, in that sense, also an indicator of where the profession of architecture is both situated and headed. On view here is the full range of possibilities in architectural expression – flights of fancy, future-oriented schemes, and attempts to handle contemporary societal challenges. With the climate crisis front of mind, it is unsurprising to find many projects addressing adaptive reuse, and regeneration of the built and natural environments. The Bachelor of Architecture and Environments Capstone project, for instance, addresses ways of transforming existing, historical structures that have lost their relevance into new ones that meaningfully enhance the urban environment. On the opposite scale of design possibility is the floating theatre project from the Bachelor of Design in Architecture that asks students to understand a very old building type that dates to the Renaissance, then reimagine it in the contemporary context. The theatre’s location on water, as opposed to land, invites a kind of imaginative engagement and whimsy not usual for land-bound structures. The range of topics informing the Master of Architecture Thesis is dizzying: urban subcultures in a changing world, fraught geo-politics and their intersection with architecture, designing on Country and designing in collaboration with Indigenous Australians in a culturally aware and sensitive manner, the architecture of mental health, temporary structures, regional challenges to the profession and art and public space. Common to these briefs and projects is deep engagement with both architectural theory and the demands of contemporary practice. As I am sure will be evident, the projects here demonstrate an impressive breadth of intellectual and creative ability, from young people about to begin a new journey as professionals in the many pathways open to them after their degree.

Unmasking Memories Rizal Muslimin Master of Architecture Program Director

It is remarkable how both thrilling and depressing sensations are quickly forgotten despite long endurance. People return to their workplace as if the pandemic never happened and continue using the same technology that shook their job’s significance early this year. Whilst excitement and anxiety come and go, bubbles born and burst, we’ve learnt that there is no such thing as a trivial memory in architecture. Every event timestamps a building into either ‘relevant’ or ‘obsolete’, encouraging designers to always reinvent their creative traits, particularly for architects arising in the new normal. Introducing: The M. Arch class of 2023.

They commenced two years ago after the last lockdown lifted and experienced full on-campus activities. They witnessed polemics on international wars, A.I. euphoria and the Referendum, while being alerted to mental health and climate change issues that continue to loom. Undoubtedly, the care invested in their projects is unique and personal.

As built environment issues became fluid and fused, this cohort advanced their knowledge and skills at a transcending pace on the path they chose. They were the first to adventure our Do-It-Yourself curriculum entirely as they picked design challenges aligned with their interest from multiple briefs studios.

It was truly a meandering path. This catalogue cannot fully capture the students’ resilience as they progressed through episodes of classes and studios nurtured by the teaching staff, from historical to technical, practical to experimental, drawing to making.

There, a mix of ambitions and realities was contested through dialogues and debates with critics, peers and, most importantly, themselves, to navigate mistakes and opportunities to move forward.

Projects in the following pages exhibit the culmination of their journey and curiosities. Their designs voice concerns on how to advocate war victims, how space is mentally experienced, and how sovereignty is placed on domestic and foreign lands.

They embody multiple design agencies to remind us of the suppressed recollections, as memories never get old.

Political Spaces in Sydney Laurence Kimmel Studio critics and contributors: Kevin O’Brien, BVN Charles Peters, Craft Architecture Thierry Lacoste, Lacoste +Stevenson Mano Ponnambalam, ADP Chris Fox, ADP

Canberra’s place as the political centre of public debate in Australia leaves a “void” in the Sydney cityscape that is filled disproportionately by commercial and economic activities. Meanwhile, cultural spaces such as the Sydney Opera House and the Museum of Contemporary Art provide only a tentative counterbalance.

Since ancient Greece, philosophers such as Aristotle have discussed how to enable and enhance public debate – and thus democracy – in the city. With reference to the ancient notion of an ‘agora’, this studio explores the possibilities of developing a modern version in Sydney. As a common place for debates and gatherings, it prompts important questions about what contemporary public space is. What might a new place for democracy look like in Sydney today?

The core concern is a place of public debate and how it merges with other parts of the city – from spaces for creativity, study and exhibition to social spaces for more casual conversations such as cafes and bars. Precedents informing the project include regional, national and international parliaments, while new typologies explore the impact of openness in the forms of visibility and accessibility.

Guoyi Chen The Forum of Lingual Montage

The Forum of Lingual Montage critically evaluates the modern public realm's architectural paradigm, ostensibly promoting inclusive, equal and comprehensive debates. Arendt (1958) asserts that economicdriven ideology may expand private domains, potentially supplanting the public realm. Wealthy elites wielding “public power” exacerbate this, rendering the current public model self-serving for private interests. To deconstruct this “pseudo-public realm paradigm” through strong geometrical insertion, the revamped Bennelong apartment utilises asymmetry and varied public programs to counter elitism. It fosters democratic dialogue, challenges Sydney's elitist stronghold, and integrates emblematic debate forms to facilitate substantive public discourse, reconciling diverse ideologies within a redefined public space.

Emily Jackson Unsettling Archives

The contrasting qualities of Western and Indigenous knowledge systems find roots in different beliefs of origin, being and knowing that often appear incompatible: a scientific geological description of landscape evolution versus its corresponding intergenerational Dreamtime story. Martin Nakata’s Cultural Interface explores the space where Indigenous knowledges interact with other cultures and ways of being – a potential that seeks non-opposing dialogues in the spirit of developing higher order knowledges and synergistic relations. The project explores how the Cultural Interface can deepen collective memory of place and people in lutruwita/ Tasmania; how deconstructing traditional Western archival ideas can honour truth of history.

Starting with Country, Gomeroi Gulli explores opportunities for Indigenous systems to be embedded into modern contexts. We experience the paddock to plate process under the guidance of the Institute of Agriculture USyd, starting at the beginning of harvest addresses the cultural impact of private land and providing a solution to harvesting across fence lines and climate for regional communities. From centralising the storage-baking to a community seed bank in Narrabri, to providing curated elements of ancient and modern techniques, this architecture hopes to offer economic development opportunities for remote communities and avenues for the health benefits that come with it.

Playful Heterotopias Duanfang Lu Studio critics and contributors: Lee Hillam, Dunn & Hillam Architects Weijie Hu, Swinburne Laurence Kimmel, ADP Michael Mossman, ADP Dagmar Reinhardt, ADP Hui Wang, City of Sydney Niranjika Wijesooriya, ADP Jonathan Hans Yoas, ADP Yiwen Yuan, ADP

What are the possibilities of developing urban architecture as a critical infrastructure of play? This question is explored through the creation of playful heterotopias as a way of addressing a wide range of contemporary issues, from intensified social fragmentation and housing affordability crises to the marginalisation of social groups and sexual minorities.

Similarly, ecological and health crises make up a core set of concerns.

Heterotopia is a concept developed by French philosopher, Michel Foucault, to describe physical or discursive spaces where norms of behaviours and expectations are suspended. As such, these spaces serve as a means of escape from power and repression. Unlike utopias, which are perfect but unattainable, heterotopias are places where things are different but still very much real. They are where the dominant rationalities of ordered society are subverted.

Underpinned by this conceptual framework, the project calls for the design of a twenty-first century mixed-used urban village. In particular, it focuses on the conceptual, spatial and practical potentials offered by new and emerging technologies to create playful heterotopias for connectedness, empowerment and the reconfiguration of social relations.

The project aims to study the interaction between geology and architecture. Australia has extraordinary geo-heritage with countless “treasures” and multiple opportunities for all Australians to learn more about their national inheritance and history. Whilst this geo-heritage is special, we have not always recognised, protected, managed nor celebrated it as well as we could. In this project, we explore how we can improve this situation and suggest ways to better identify, protect and manage Australia’s geo-heritage with a grand objective of truly celebrating and caring for all of our natural heritage through an architectural lens.

Natalie Bocock Gateway to Gadigal

Gateway to Gadigal is the contrast between concave and convex, inspired by the contrasted approach to water by First Nations peoples in wet and dry climates of Australia. Waterloo, a suburb adjacent to Redfern which is synonymous with urban Aboriginal history in Sydney, lacks sites for Aboriginal identity despite 88% of residents being of Aboriginal heritage. This project intends to bring Aboriginal excellence, knowledge and customs to the fore, with the ancient Waterloo Dam reinstated, as well as a public offering of First Nations food and beverage, science, research and housing. This project is a gateway to co-cultural relationships in contemporary Sydney and Australia.

The future of bees is not in one beekeeper with 60,000 hives, but with 60,000 people keeping one hive each…

– Simon Buxton, apiarist and author In a globalised society departing the Anthropocene, out of necessity and not volition, the veneer between humanity and the more-than-human draws thin. An antiquated printing factory in Waterloo, Sydney, afforded statutory heritage protection for its advocacy of workers’ rights in the twentieth century, once again advocates the rights of “workers” to dwell in urban places with an urban apiary retrofit.

Head Space (Semester 1) Rose McEnery Studio critics and contributors: Alison Huynh, Bates Smart Chai Phua, Architectus Conrad Gargett Robert Morley, USYD Natasha Rubin, Architectus Conrad Gargett Chris L Smith, ADP

The idea of regenerative spaces – spaces that heal – is at the centre of this project. Throughout the history of architecture, it has been proposed that spaces can be designed to inspire, change or challenge behaviour and to shift the experience of users.

The “psy-” sciences (such as psychology, psychoanalysis and psychiatry) have always held that the position and place of therapy is a core part of the process. There is an intimate relation between who we are and where we are.

On the site of the old “Bonds factory” on Mallett Street, Camperdown, this project involves creating a space for the Headspace National Youth Mental Health Foundation and the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre. It’s a real project, but one that maintains a speculative, exploratory and experimental spirit by challenging the way we think about mental spaces and physical places alike. It asks how the transformation of a building might help to shape or support regeneration, health, wellbeing and healing.

Drawing on key concerns in current mental health policy and strategies, considerations include increased equity and early, ongoing access to mental health services and support networks, while reducing stigma stands as a consistent theme.

Concepts of wellness and regeneration inform spaces for reflection, retreat or relaxation; spaces for connection and reconnection to self, family and community, as well as the local and natural environment and to Country.

Bethany Hooper C.Y.O.A. Camperdown

C.Y.O.A. Camperdown (Choose Your Own Adventure) aims to explore how the built environment can afford youth participants and their support persons authentic choice when engaging with mental health care. Facilitating choice is an important mechanism as it assists a sense of autonomy and agency in what has been traditionally a highly controlled, institutionalised and paternalistic system. For youth especially, choice contributes to a sense of independence and ownership within a life stage that can involve challenging familial relationships and power dynamics. Informed by the writings of Aldo Van Eyck, the architectural mechanism of an internal ‘sticky’ street frames choice through exploring duality, exposure and protection, the inbetween and ambiguity.

Yusuke Fujii Blurring the Boundaries

Mental health, an integral facet of human existence, has long been intertwined with the notion of shame and stigma. These often become barriers making it difficult for individuals to reach out and seek help. Individuals feel unnoticed and there are long-term effects to them and their close relationships. The project focuses on how user control and autonomy through flexible access points and spatial design can form treatment for shame and stigma. The project also explores art therapy and collaboration between the user and lived-experience peer workers and how they help break down what can seem to be a stark dichotomy of patient-clinician relationships.

Audrey Zhang Lucid Dreamland

This project investigates the impact of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Extended Reality (XR) technologies on mental healthcare spaces, communication and self-reflection.

Despite barriers to mental health care, especially for children and young people, immersive technologies offer potential solutions.

The project explores using VR, AR and XR for self-exploration and communication, enhancing patient-psychiatrist interaction and spatial design. Inspired by sandbox and open-world games, a modular approach to therapeutic space design is proposed. The research analyses these technologies' intervention methodologies and their influence on communication, self-expression, typology design and mental health service accessibility, aiming to enhance future counseling spaces.

The Great Repair Felix McNamara With Hélène Frichot and Virginia Mannering, UniMelb Studio critics and contributors: Chris L Smith, ADP Hannes Frykholm, ADP Maren Koehler, ADP Matthew Darmour-Paul, ADP/UTS Peter Besley, Besley Spresser Jessica Spresser, Besley Spresser Hélène Frichot, UniMelb Virginia Mannering, UniMelb Special thanks to Andrew Leach and Guillermo Fernández-Abascal

The Great Repair offers a humble architectural response to Amitav Ghosh’s provocation in ‘The Great Derangement’ (2016) that we humans have been unable to deal with the scale and scope of climate change and the environmental devastations it wreaks.

Operating on a spectrum between exhaustion and exuberance, this project seeks to engage in forms of world-mending that challenge the hubris of worlddestroying activities.

The studio is dedicated to the idea of repair as a critical gesture of speculative design care. It’s a collaboration between the University of Melbourne (Hélène Frichot and Virginia Mannering) and the University of Sydney (Felix McNamara), and it situates the design investigation in the conceptual domain of the Innovation Distinct – a presumed site of urban potentiality in the twenty-first century that establishes collaboration between institutions of higher education and industry.

Does innovation lead to world-mending or world-destroying under the guise of progress and development? Rather than following the money, shouldn’t we be following the materials? Is innovation simply enervating? Questions such as these are explored with an emphasis on creative independence and experimental design, in a space that nevertheless maintains constructive constraints.

Generating responses ranging from the pragmatic to the speculative, The Great Repair invites ficto-critical forays and investigations into the relations between architecture, ideology, technology and aesthetics.

Pierre Dalais Reimagining Urban Vernacular: Reclaiming High-Tech Ruins for Low-Tech Living

In the past century, rapid technological progress homogenised global architecture, disconnecting design from local climates through the reliance on conveniences like air conditioning and heating. To address this and propose new alternatives, this project envisions a post-crisis future where squatters reclaim the abandoned Deutsche Bank Tower. Here, they create spaces that embrace a low-tech essence within the ruins of high-tech infrastructure. This exploration raises a critical question: What defines an urban vernacular in this transformed world?

Samantha Sun Microvasion

Inspired by the 1997 Australian comedy “The Castle”, this project proposes a hypothetical micronation that, having fled Big Data, imposes itself on Australian suburbia. Sited around a recently constructed but problematic luxury apartment complex, the micronation’s ad hoc architecture of DIY informality – of found objects, pallets, pipes and the like, explores abstractions of property, subversions of city planning (or nation-planning) and general feudalism all snuggled within a fascination with the vernacular Australian context. This exploration and slow invasion was conducted throughout the semester through a series of soft montages and detailed mappings.

Josephine Harris Subtraction: Objects and Space in a Neoliberal City

In redefining the role of the architect as that of the repairer, rather than creator, this project responds to the disruption of the balance between the fundamentals of architecture: shelter, culture and wealth, in a neoliberal context. Through a speculative legislative framework, public admittance to ground and roof planes is proposed as a cultural repair strategy. The design of these heterotopias – spaces outside of all places – is executed through the method of subtraction rather than addition in which existing fabric is removed and repurposed as a process of repair in light of urban homogenisation.

Architecture of Assassination: The al-Baghdadi Raid Frank La Paz Studio critics and contributors: Joanna Naples-Mitchell, Zomia Centre Emily Tripp, Airwars Anita Samson, Recognition Learning Hannes Frykholm, ADP Jennifer Ferng, ADP Sophia Maalsen, ADP Liza Walling, ADP Kevin Hüi, Archimarathon Guillermo Fernández-Abascal, ADP Jess Valenzuela, USYD Byron Dexter, USYD

The al-Baghdadi Raid studio centres on a violent politico-military event – a raid conducted by the US military on 27 October, 2019 in Barisha (‫)اشیراب‬, Syria.

The stated objective of this raid was an assassination, an undertaking to “capture or kill” the then-leader of the Islamic State militant group, Abu Bakr alBaghdadi. Though al-Baghdadi and five other Islamic State militants were killed, a number of civilians were reportedly also killed or otherwise harmed.

This civilian harm is the core concern and is explored through a focus on the precise architectures that set the conditions for the assassination, as well as those at play as it unfolded. The studio involves a radical deployment of architectural tactics, techniques and technologies to deal with the violence that might course through any number of spatial and temporal regimes. As such, it also attends to the political value of human movement within such formations.

More than a speculative exercise, this inquiry is a response to the material conditions of an actual event and works closely with an international, nongovernment organisation – The Zomia Centre – that advances legal cases for victims of US state violence.

The aim is to offer an expert, independent and probono architectural analysis of the al-Baghdadi raid, one that can offer evidential value in sensitive, real-time legal actions.

Christopher Tjhia Isolation Strikes The consequence of using deadly force as a warning tool

In the US Military's 2019 assassination of ISIS leader al-Bagdahdi, three civilians become implicated within the event whilst travelling home. This is an architectural examination of that event, focusing on one key moment, a warning shot that hit the civilians as they were travelling. A series of unanticipated reactions followed, culminating in the deaths of two men and the wounding of a third. Rigorous empirical analysis of the event is conducted using architecture's unique mode of operation. Inventive new techniques and tactics are deployed to read the complexities of event space in a uniquely architectural way.

Ruofan Guan Martial Gaze: The Logistics of Image

The study of minor architecture is starting with the exam for the moment of “image acquisition” that happened during the Al Baghdadi Raid. The moment is understood via the logistics of image, which is seemed as the visual representation of the logistics of perception. The architecture deployment is to develop a drawing technique to represent, analysis and diagnose the architecture of image logistics. It is used to reveal the invisible part and demonstrate how the objectification and surface shifting happened in the image logistics. Finally, the drawing technique will be applied as an aberrant communication method back to the event, to discredit the major architecture.

Based on the differing information collected from various perspectives, the objective urban morphology and roads in the Al Baghdadi Raid exhibited two entirely distinct states: static and dynamic, profoundly influencing the outcome of the event. When urban morphology is perceived in a dynamic form, individuals must continually negotiate with their surroundings to make decisions for the next steps. This is particularly pronounced on a pitch-black night when headlights serve as the sole source of illumination. In such circumstances, the urban morphology and roads continually appear and disappear with the movement of the vehicle, impacting the driver's decision-making at every turn.

What happens in our city? What and who is found in its ‘deep interiors’? What parts of ourselves are there? How do architecture and design contribute to the creation of culture?

People have lost their spaces in the city. The First Nations people, for example, whose trackway has become Oxford Street; the punks, goths, queers, immigrants, insomniacs, teenagers, musicians, DJs, ethnic minority groups, activists, squatters, students, kinksters, clubbers, perverts, introverts, gamers, criminals, artists, sex workers, lovers, performers; the broken-hearted, middle-aged, elderly; those who simply want to eat a meal, drink a coffee or go for a walk at 4am.

Focusing on one subculture at a time, this studio culminates in proposals for a 24-hour space on Arnold Lane. Taken together, they constitute an architecture of reinvigoration, diversity and intensity, culminating in a laneway party image produced at a collective urban scale as the entire lane is occupied and modelled.

The project explores how space is shared, divided and transformed over the course of day and night. Drawing on international precedents and research into the lost spaces of Sydney, the architecture of subcultures explores their current states and spatial needs.

Jiaqi (Greta) He The Nudity Odyssey in the City

This project explores the concept of nudity in an urban context, drawing from Giorgio Agamben's work on nudity and fetish culture.

Following humanity's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, the adoption of clothing and shelter led to a detachment from both nudity and human nature. It proposes the use of bathhouses and fetish clubs as means to reintegrate human nature and nudity into urban environments. The bathhouse, inspired by the dynamic power of nudity in fetish culture, is designed as a nudity odyssey for the user to experience the gradual transition from fully clothed to complete nudity. Layering is adopted as architectural language to exploring the transitional process in nudity. Meanwhile, the fetish club emphasises the shift from public spaces to more intimate settings.

Through visual connection, these two programs mutually influence each other, contributing to the narrative of nudity in the city.

Ruibin Fang What Can Architecture Do For Anxiety-Filled People?

The overall condition of a society, including economic, political and social patterns, affects the mental state of the people living in that society. Anime, as a branch of subculture, can be used as a means of artistic expression to accurately reflect the state of mind of people. Referring to the development of Japan since the 20th century, anime has the functions of “accelerator” and “brake”. As a “mirror” reflecting people's mental state, anime can resonate with people's current state/trauma by presenting a virtual world/story/ scene. Anime subculture has the ability to stabilise the mental state of young people during uncertain economic and societal times, and the combination of architecture and anime can help bring contentment to this group of people.

Natalie Lin Beneath the Surface

Subterranean spaces are often overlooked and underutilised.

However they have the potential to play a vital role in fostering community and shaping cultural landscapes. The underground represents a medium for a heightened sense of self expression and escapism, offering a refuge removed from the structures and boundaries of the above ground urban territory. This project intends to revitalise Oxford Street through an underground cultural hub and an activation of unused alleyways. Through an architectural process of deterritorialisation, we depart from above to explore alternative modes of expression.

The Uluru Statement from the Heart is a gracious invitation to the people, amplifying the expressed wish of Indigenous Australia for Voice, Treaty and Truth.

A referendum has been called, offering potentialities for a ‘total reset’ well beyond the political. Yet how do architects authentically “walk with” and “listen deeply” to the ancient wisdom of the First Custodians whose sovereignty has never been ceded?

Relational processes create opportunities to explore a deeper self-awareness of existential values from the metaphysical to the physical. Creating spaces of hope and transformation, this studio focuses on co-designing with community and honouring creative relationships with Country through architectural activism.

The project calls for the conceptualisation of a catalytic cultural hub that might be educational or creative, perhaps involving gallery or exhibition spaces for engaged community dialogues surrounding regenerative issues. Assumptions of knowledge are abandoned in a process of addressing complex histories and their tensions, from the internal or external to the visible or invisible. Designs are then understood as contributors to the collective consciousness through a holistic awareness of systemic principles located in this contemporary movement of transformation.

Ultimately, it explores the critical role of agency in the co-creation of spaces for collective futures.

Sammi Hayim Meandering the Interstitial

In response to the mission of Bush-to-Bowl and through a process of deep listening and co-authorship with Country, a proposal titled Meandering the Interstitial was developed, with the aim of creating space for cultural exchange, haptic learning and connection.

The architecture evolved through leaning into my own intuitive connection with Country’s natural textures and a fascination with human movement and gesture which I wanted to amplify through my design. Throughout this thesis I have learned that Indigenous culture thrives through making, sensory embodiment and a profound connection to the land, offering a valuable insight into the potential for a sustainable approach to design, learning and living in today's world.

Samuel Preston Sensing Country

Missing from current architectural discourse, is a deeper understanding of First Nations People’s connection to Country. This thesis explores how architectural design can facilitate and amplify the pre-existing connection to Country for non-First Nations people.

The outcome led to the establishment of series of design principles facilitated by sensory design, offering a renewed and enriched relationship between Country and architecture. The proposed principles afforded the opportunity to invite Country into the design letting it become the co-author of creation. These principles were then implemented for a catalytic cultural hub design for Bush to Bowl, a nursery that is 100%-owned by First Nations people.

The idea of regenerative spaces – spaces that heal – is at the centre of this project. Throughout the history of architecture, it has been proposed that spaces can be designed to inspire, change or challenge behaviour and to shift the experience of users.

The “psy-” sciences (such as psychology, psychoanalysis and psychiatry) have always held that the position and place of therapy is a core part of the process. There is an intimate relation between who we are and where we are.

On the site of the old “Bonds factory” on Mallett Street, Camperdown, this project involves creating a space for the Headspace National Youth Mental Health Foundation and the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre. It’s a real project, but one that maintains a speculative, exploratory and experimental spirit by challenging the way we think about mental spaces and physical places alike. It asks how the transformation of a building might help to shape or support regeneration, health, wellbeing and healing.

Drawing on key concerns in current mental health policy and strategies, considerations include increased equity and early, ongoing access to mental health services and support networks, while reducing stigma stands as a consistent theme.

Concepts of wellness and regeneration inform spaces for reflection, retreat or relaxation; spaces for connection and reconnection to self, family and community, as well as the local and natural environment and to Country.

Milica Kovac A Place Like Home

This project aims to apply a salutogenic model to the design of a youth health centre, responding to a brief which centers on the idea of spaces that heal. It involves the focus on a space for Headspace – the National Youth Mental Health Foundation, set in the inner west of Sydney at Callan Park Lilyfield, previously the Callan Park Psychiatric Hospital. The path, approach and arrival sequence became a driver for the design of all spaces within the project and essentially determined the central location for the site proposal. Through this came the exploration of the domestic sense, the idea of “home” being the intangible feeling you get when you’re there rather than the physical form, speaking to the notion of familiarity and the comfort of spaces familiar to us. Weaving these concepts through the connection of mental health and the domestic environment, salutogenic principles were used as tools to articulate the user experience.

Jonathan Kelleher Bridge View, Art and Wellness Centre: Industrial Architecture and Biophilic Design, A New Paradigm in Production

The advent of advanced digital tools has facilitated the emergence of parametric design as a potent methodology, offering architects the capacity to generate intricate, precise and efficient structures.

In tandem, the demand for rapidly fabricated, cost-effective buildings has driven the evolution of industrialised construction processes with the potential to reform the way we design, construct and experience built environments. This approach will contribute to discourse on the future of architectural design, by envisioning a potential paradigm shift that merges the design potential of biophilic geometries in the mental health industry, with the efficiency of an industrialised workflow and production. It advocates for an approach that merges digital capabilities with the pragmatism of the real world.

Betty Chen Sound of Mind

We all have an inner voice in our head: it may transform into noises that are filled with endless self-doubting conversation and rumination. “Pleasant” sounds have restorative effects on mental wellbeing. The soothing qualities of natural sounds, like gentle rustlings of wind and the babble of rippling water, coupled with engaging and enlightening conversations, have the power to restore inner peace. A youth psychiatric community centre is sonic refuge that act as an aid to clear noises and alleviate mental distraction in young minds, by means of the integration of pleasant sounds and architecture.

Temporary Powers Melissa Liando Studio critics and contributors: Cynthia Chunrong Hao, ADP Mano Ponnambalam, ADP Chris L Smith, ADP Kate Goodwin, ADP

Temporary architecture has a unique capacity to raise awareness and thereby act as a catalyst to change. Structures can be erected in places where permanent buildings are not possible – indeed, they can be articulated with a degree of freedom which permanent buildings often cannot be afforded.

Meanwhile, they can also be very economical with a low environmental impact.

Jakarta is a hectic megacity in constant flux, where the popularity of neighbourhoods changes rapidly as new housing estates, office towers and shopping malls emerge on vast scales each year.

With the development of new places, older ones fall out of favour and fall into a downward spiral. This happened to the city’s historic centre, Kota Tua, whose crumbling grand heritage buildings serve as an attraction mainly to tourists and the city’s low-paid, working class families.

In response, this studio calls for the creation of an inclusive and temporary cultural venue on Taman Fatahillah, the central square of Kota Tua. It explores how temporary architecture can become a form of civil expression in response to social issues, and how it can attract attention to the plight of the city’s old historic centre.

Cindy Lu Cycling Pavilion

The global resurgence of bicycle culture post-COVID-19 reflects people's desire for an egalitarian and liberating outdoor experience.

In Indonesia, bicycles symbolise not only practicality but also the pursuit of personal value and earned effort. Inspired by the delicate yet robust wooden structures of indoor velodromes, the concept of an elevated cycling track with skate bowl and lookout platform caters to a variety of cycling activities popular among different cycling groups in Jakarta. Additionally, it serves as a space for visitors to rest and enjoy performances. The project aims to unite individuals from all walks of life in Jakarta, fostering greater intercommunication among the city's diverse populace.

The design concept for the temporary theater in Taman Fatahillah is not just about creating a structure but crafting a narrative space that embodies the collective memories and shared experiences of Jakarta's diverse populace. Our Stories becomes a democratic stage where architecture transcends physical form to become a vessel for the living history of the city's inhabitants. Inspired by the idea of a storybook, the theatre's architecture unfolds in a series of “story pages” or pavilions that narrate the collective memories of the people. Each pavilion becomes a backdrop for the enactment of cultural tales, historic events and daily life scenes that resonate with every stratum of society. The theater's morphology is emblematic of a storybook, with pavilions representing individual pages that collectively portray the rich tapestry of Jakarta's history and contemporary life.

This thesis centres on creating interaction between different socioeconomic groups within Jakarta through the play and education of children. By employing temporary architectural insertions, this intervention serves as a subtle yet impactful stride toward fostering a more integrated society. It recognises the nuanced reality that addressing this issue is not a task amenable to instantaneous remedies; instead, it requires a gradual and deliberate approach. As such comes the need to educate and socialise the future generations.

Foreign Affairs Laszlo Csutoras Studio critics and contributors: Maren Koehler, ADP Chris L Smith, ADP Erik Havadi, FJC Studio Sara Nourmusavi Nasab, ADP Kate Goodwin, ADP

In 2022, the construction of Indonesia’s new capital city, Nusantara, began on the island of Kalimantan.

The country's administration, ministries and other government offices are expected to relocate from Jakarta in the near future, followed by diplomatic missions and representative offices of other foreign organisations. Within this context, the studio focuses on the design of an embassy building in this future capital city.

The program comprises a chancellery, staff accommodation and an ambassador's residence.

As a combination of public and private spaces, they have to appropriately accommodate the complex rituals of formal business and entertainment that diplomacy involves. Meanwhile, staff also require sufficient privacy for living and working functions in the compound.

An embassy is an explicitly symbolic as well as functional building. It serves as the interface between two countries, a cultural signifier with a role to create a sympathetic image of the nation. As such, the designs explore the extent to which architecture needs – and is able – to represent national identity, as well as the question of reconciling this desire with the need to adapt to a foreign context. They ask what values the architecture should express in the embassy, and how it can do so in a sustainable and dignified manner despite the challenging security requirements of recent decades.

Cheryl Ding Whispers of Chinese Culture: The Journey through Traditional Chinese Garden Embassy

With the background of the transformation of Indonesian capital city from Jakarta to Nusantara, China will have her new embassy building as well, consisting of embassy, consulate and residence sections.

Influenced by Taoism theory aiming at harmonious coexistence, the project displays China's identity friendly and confidently, narrating the story of Chinese culture. With the application of “montage” theory, the project mainly focuses on boundary design, learning from the design principles of traditional Chinese garden, translating and reinterpreting traditional Chinese landscape painting into the embassy design, and finally achieving dynamic spatial narratives also enhancing perceived flow in architecture.

Yuxin Tang SAIL

Nestled within Indonesia's envisioned capital, Nusantara, SAIL stands as the embassy of Fiji, resonating with the essence of a “home away from home.” Drua's sails gracefully steer spaces in harmony with the wind's dance, where water softly whispers and trees murmur. Here, the divide between architecture and nature dissolves, weaving the tales of Fijian culture into every sensory encounter. An embodiment of regenerative design, the embassy seamlessly intertwines with its surroundings, adeptly responding to the challenges and opportunities that lie within our contemporary world. For Fiji, in Indonesia, and as a part of myself.

MODEL 02

Revealing and humble are the two key characteristics of a foreign affair building. An industrialised Germany has been rendered since the mid 19th century till now. Over time, the glory of the heavy industry has faded out but the logistics behind the structures stay. Productivity, efficiency and minimalism not only sit in the design but root deeply in the national identity of Germany. The project will bridge between old and new to evoke a contemplation of the disused structures. Elements are extracted from the obsolete industrial structures, go through the “milling process” and reassembled into a new matrix with a new function and identity.

Your Own Briefs Jason Dibbs Studio critics and contributors: Sean Akahane-Bryen, ADP Ross Anderson, ADP Harry Catterns, SAHA Sarah Lawlor, NSW Government Architect’s Office Sasha Rose Tatham, Akin Atelier

Four thematic research clusters form a framework in which students are given the option to pursue a design brief of their own devising in this studio. The clusters – Anthropocene and Posthumanism, Urban and Regional Futures, Human Condition(s) and Speculative (Un) Realities – are representative of the breadth of interests in the cohort and provide a forum for sharing research journeys. They also foster collegiality, encouraging knowledge and resource exchange.

Following on from the ‘Developing Architectural Briefs’ Winter Intensive coordinated by Ross Anderson, participants were tasked with analysing and critiquing a number of real-world architectural competition briefs before applying learnings to the development of their own design briefs. These briefs then became the touchstone for this project, providing a helpful scaffolding for the myriad research-based design projects pursued across the final semester.

The studio is marked by an intense level of enthusiasm and engagement. It provides an opportunity to critically explore design questions and ideas that many students have harboured since the earliest days of their architectural studies, sometimes even earlier. With guidance, diverse and often very personal projects are realised. They are the object of deep passion and care – in a word, they are projects that matter.

Jacob Levy Designing With Care: 82 Wentworth Park Rd - Housing, the ‘Elderly’, and ‘Elderly Housing’

Designing With Care forms a critique of the proposed demolition of existing 1980s public housing situated at 82 Wentworth Park Road, Glebe. The proposal offers an alternative approach of reuse, repair and infill densification, aiming to safeguard and expand public housing. Addressing the essential question of “how we live in the city as we age?,” the project reinterprets architectural methodologies as “practices of care.” Three core themes of care are adopted: care for Country, care for buildings and care for people.

These themes are explored through an architecture that facilitates everyday acts of care.

Katrina Jelavic Divine Impressions

In the modern urban landscape, man is increasingly alienated from concerns of the divine and preoccupied with futile artificial routines.

Departed from the natural world, the modern man is held in a state of indifference, ceasing to experience the exaltation of the soul that arises from the passions of pain and pleasure encountered in the sublime. Divine Impressions reedify a phenomenological engagement with a fundamental sacred reality in Sydney Harbour in the encounter of place and breach of the threshold between existence and nature to catalyse a deeper understanding of the need to participate in divine consciousness and comprehend transcendent truths to attain final satisfaction.

Kirsten Wallin The Canadian Prairies: A Phenomenon of Impermanence

This architectural project is deeply rooted in the concept of temporality. From its adaptable programmatic elements to the occupants who shape its narrative, from the carefully chosen moving parts to its structural backbones, it celebrates the fluidity of transitions and the ever-changing nature of time. Amid a world often focused on permanence, this project challenges conventions by embracing impermanence. The programmatic elements evolve with changing needs, residents become active participants in an ongoing narrative, and even components tell a temporal story.

These structures stand as reminders of the fleeting nature of human creations, urging us to appreciate the beauty in life’s transient moments.

How can interventions through architecture and art foster meaningful connections between people, history and their spaces? How might they also be used to create a more inclusive and empathetic urban environment?

Delving into the intricate interplay between art, architecture and public space, this studio addresses these questions with an emphasis on communication, archival research and material experimentation.

By exploring interdisciplinary methodologies and practices of drawing and storytelling, design proposals include innovative and critical public art instruments that uncover histories and tell new stories. Materiality is investigated in order to consider how it might transcend its physical form. Similarly, the potential of material relationships in relation to the realm of spatial belonging forms a line of research inquiry.

Close study of the complexities of public space and exploration of diverse assets in cultural theory are employed to analyse how various art and architectural practices utilise speculative design processes to conceptualise their own public space interventions.

Whether these proposals arrive in the form of sitespecific public art pavilions, nomadic instruments, vehicles or other cultural and spatial equipment, they aim to reflect the essence of their connection to Sydney.

Mohammad Adil Hussain The Auburn Loom Project

The Auburn Loom Project seeks to express, through the act of making, the significance of time, self-identity and cultural materiality within the folds of creative textile practices. It uses the ethnographic diversity that forms the urban fabric of Auburn to steer the story, and make a space for true acculturation through textile, through creative practice, and through a dialogue between the two. This endeavour translates as a means of signification and inquiry, agency and purpose; of speaking through doing. In offering the people a means to wield their lived experience through traditional aesthetic practices—knitting, weaving, quilting, coiling, stitching, sewing and embroidery—the Project celebrates culture through craft.

Daipeng Chen Reconnecting the Roots: Auburn CALD Community Garden

Known as a migrant-intensive suburb, Auburn has almost 80% Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) residents. Though they have an essential need of public green spaces, they are substantially underrepresented and deprived of both private and public green space due to the urban fabric of high-rise apartments in Auburn Town Centre. By proposing a community kitchen-garden for Auburn’s CALD elderly immigrants in Auburn Town Centre, the project wishes to empower people to promote their health, transform their community and to enhance their social connections.

The project features an adaptive reuse of demolished materials, achieving sustainability while also preserving previous community memories for Auburn’s residents.

This project is a toy library, offering a space for high-density immigrant families in Auburn to gather and relax. It houses toys from diverse cultures, fostering intergenerational and cross-cultural connections. Following traditional library design principles, it transforms reading rooms into private, self-contained communal living spaces for families. These living rooms are designed with the essence of corners, as Gaston Bachelard describes “corner” as the germ of rooms or houses. Public living rooms serve as the corners of public space, providing security and a sense of belonging, connecting individuals, communities and nature, creating a unique setting for family bonding and recreation.

In December 2022, the Art Gallery of NSW opened Sydney Modern. Instead of extending their building, which would disrupt existing functions, they added a second building. Where the original Art Gallery building was faced with Vernon’s beautiful sandstone, the neighbour is transparent. Veiled glass at the entry connects to the Indigenous Gallery, then the building descends into the many exhibition spaces below, with outdoor terraces on each level. The descent concludes in a dark underground tank, connected to the surface with a wide white spiral stair. The $344m project was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architects, SANAA, and executive architects, Architectus, with engineering by Arup. This second building was imagined as a step towards an Art Campus slowly growing towards Woolloomooloo and the Domain.

This studio studies SANAA's Sydney Modern to gain a comprehensive understanding of the functions and economics behind the beautiful facades of our controversial public art galleries. By exploring challenging notions about art objects, the role of museums in the socialisation of aesthetics and changing expectations about public buildings, the design responses seek to simultaneously offer wellgrounded, ground-breaking and ground-mending proposals for a controversial third building.

Jack Hartland AGNSW2040: Art Backyard

Bridging over the Eastern Distributor and stitching together a series of neglected land parcels around the gallery's fringe, AGNSW2040 proposes a new art experience: foregrounding landscape and topography and reconnecting the isolated gallery precinct to the urban fabric. From an inviting new Woolloomooloo frontage up to a link into the existing AGNSW, the gallery traverses a series of levels and spatial experiences. Leading the visitor on a journey through art and sculpture, there are ample spaces for rest, education, performance and gathering throughout, in an architecture that reaches out to the harbour and city while embracing a new “backyard” for the gallery campus.

Noah Soderlund To The Point

Since the completion of the Sydney Modern Project in 2022, the Art Gallery of NSW has expanded its campus and demonstrated the need for improved pedestrian connectivity. In this vision for the gallery in 2050, an accessible pedestrian procession flows Northwards from the historic sandstone gallery to a new gallery out along the headland. This creates a pedestrian-focused art campus, inviting people to enjoy the historic fig trees and sculpture gardens of Yurong Point before reaching an inviting gallery. The site of this gallery allows for an art experience with moments of both immersion beneath the tree line and expansive views out across the harbour.

A Provocation – One Song, Many Singers Michael Muir Bachelor of Design in Architecture Program Director

A provocation, in the Socratic method, for those not familiar with the term, is used both on an individual and societal level to force us all to think more deeply about an issue, to look from a different angle at a problem.

The act of provocation acknowledges the fundamental truth that we can never rest for too long before we must again “be stirred into life”.

The study of architecture uncovers a plethora of provocations: all the way from form follows function through less is more to less is a bore, and ever onward.

And, of course, there’s the provocation to design appropriately for our place and our time, opening our eyes to a view always there, but hitherto unseen.

Bizarrely, for many years the idea that we should be living and working in a way that preserves and sustains our world for the long term was framed as a provocation.

We walk a fine line through our architectural education.

We need to learn how to put a building together, make it fit for purpose in the broadest sense and accommodate our lives joyously.

We dwell in many worlds, from the pragmatic to the inspirational.

From reality to imagination and back again.

And that brings me to the song of the title or perhaps to the title of the song.

In 1974 Nick Lowe wrote and recorded the song, “What’s so Funny about Peace, Love and Understanding”.

Elvis Costello’s version came out a few years later in 1978.

A young person’s song, passionate and strident.

A provocation to a self-obsessed world of fashion and fetish.

71

In 2004 Jimmy Little recorded another version of the song on his ‘Life’s What You Make It’ album.

Jimmy was a Yorta Yorta man. He grew up in his mother’s country on the Cummeragunja Aboriginal Reserve on the Murray River about 30 kilometres from Echuca. In February 1939, when Jimmy was just two years old, his family joined around 200 to 300 members of the mission in the Cummeragunja walk-off: in protest at the appalling living conditions at the mission.

The walk-off was one of the first mass protests

by Indigenous Australians, and had a significant impact on events that followed later, such as the 1967 referendum.

Jimmy’s life was music.

Ours, I guess, is architecture.

A provocation for us all, and especially those of you graduating, is to take the skills you’re juggling and see how they stack up in a world with a lamentable lack of peace, love and understanding.

To not just acknowledge Country but to contribute to its healing.

Taking its cues from the Italian architect Aldo Rossi’s Teatro del Mundo – a temporary floating theatre designed and built for the ‘theatre and architecture’ section of the 1980 Venice Biennale – the Sydney Harbour Drama House project exchanges ancient, urbane waterways for the Antipodean harbour’s shoreline of coves and points, bays and headlands.

Replacing the typical demarcated architectural site, the territory of this project is a sweep of watery expanse, sometimes calm and glistening, sometimes wild with the full force of nature.

The theatre may withstand or harness Sydney Harbour’s environmental phenomena and incorporate them into the dramatic experience of the building.

For both the performers and audience, the theatre might be an island of insulated calm, or it might revel in its unsettling exposure to come-what-may maritime conditions. And as much as the floating theatre is a transformative experience for performer and audience, so too might it transform its shorebound context, whether visible and public, or tucked away in a barely discoverable nook.

The theatre’s location and character are to be defined; it might be dedicated to one genre of performance or even one playwright, or it might attempt to provide a stage for a kind of theatre yet to come. As Rossi himself said of his remarkable Teatro del Mundo, it was “situated between the house of infancy and the house of death as a place that is purely for performances, and memory and foreboding belong to it.”

Richard Schechner’s ‘Environmental Theatre’ calls for the relationship between performers, audience, technicians, architectural and natural environment to be that which constructs the performance. There is no ideal performance, only ‘that’ specific performance, on that day, in that light, etc. The limit between the participatory members is broken down, thus one is always submerged in the performance. The top-down structure of performance, where the creator trickles down to performer, to technician, to audience, is flattened.

The performance becomes a pervasive circumstance whereby the meaning is constructed inside this limit, within the space left between each participating member. This means that all of the physical space is available.

This project uses the existing tracks of Parsley Bay as a way to extend the audience to passers by, adding an unexpected quality. The assemblage of audience members is fluid, and each rendition is likely the only time they will be all assembled together. The theatre is an enabling infrastructure that allows the performers, technicians, environment and audience to be gathered, to form an event. It is lightweight and adaptive, but its nature is to provide, or enable something specific to occur. As the suspension bridge gathers each side of the bank, the theatre brings t gather its participants. It is one event after another event, each actively related to a particular time; light, smell, temperature, tide, etc.

Bachelor of Architecture and Environments

Introduction Matthew Mindrup Bachelor of Architecture and Environments Program Director

The Bachelor of Architecture and Environments (BAE) degree is designed to equip students with the skills to integrate knowledge, criteria and methodologies from the fields of Architecture, Urban Design/Planning and Architectural Science. This year, the culmination of this knowledge is demonstrated through an immersive design studio experience, which involves an exploration of memory and forgetting in the adaptive reuse of existing structures along the shores of Blackwattle Bay. In the built environment, the concepts of memory and forgetting encompass the ways in which human activities and historical events are remembered or forgotten through the transformation and adaptation of physical structures to new uses over time. In adapting existing places to new uses, memory involves the retention of its spaces or their parts in a way that aims to evoke and commemorate specific events, people, or former uses. Conversely, forgetting comes into play when an existing structure has no perceived cultural value and a designer considers how the selective erasure, extension, recombination, overwriting or masking of its materials, or spaces can accommodate a new set of activities and identity. In any work of adaptive reuse, a designer is actively engaged in a negotiation between the retention or dissolution, the memory and forgetting of the identities attributed to an existing structure’s forms, spaces and materials and how their transformation can contribute meaningfully to new activities taking place in or with them. The objective of this studio is to transform the existing structures along Blackwattle Bay into either a dragon boat club or a civic center, showcasing the students' proficiency in architectural design, sustainability or urban planning.

To orient their approach to the semester project, students were permitted to build upon an interest they developed during their course of study in the BAE by selecting from a suite of different disciplinary foci offered by the different tutors. Under the direction of these individuals, problems and critical aspects

of architecture or urban design are considered using a range of advanced modelling, simulation and optimisation techniques and methods.

Congratulations to this special group of graduating students who began their studies in 2020 shortly before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

You overcame lockdowns and the challenges of transitioning to both online and blended learning.

This is a huge step toward your future, and we hope to see you again in one of the school's wide range of postgraduate courses.

Studio Briefs Architecture “Seeing in” and “Seeing as” Matthew Mindrup (lead) There is a certain novelty or surprise that occurs when one discovers that an object or place they are using was originally intended for some other purpose. A familiar picture from the Polish-American psychologist Joseph Jastrow’s Fact and Fable in Psychology illustrates this duplicity of meanings. Some see the image as a duck, which becomes a rabbit only by specifically viewing its bill as ears. The lines on the paper have not changed; rather, their meaning in the entire composition has, in the same way that the lawn in Le Corbusier’s Appartement de Beistegui roof terrace becomes a carpet when it meets a fireplace on the parapet.

For an architect adapting existing to new purposes, the aim is not to “see as” but to “see in” the object or place an ability to be “reused as”.

This conundrum between memory and forgetting is explored not as a simple matter of covering up, but as an inventive act of making whose aim is to counter the factual in remaking the meaning of things.

It begins by exploring different strategies of memory and forgetting by using found objects to create curiosity containers for new objects or activities. The aim of these constructions is then to inspire the role that the existing materials, forms and structure can play in creating meaningful experiences at 1-3 Bank Street, Pyrmont for the activities of the Blackwattle Bay Dragonboat Club and Boat-Building School.

Dragon Boat Club and Boat-Building School Chris Fox Drawing on Jonathan Jones’ ideas about memory, erasure, creation and destruction, this studio seeks to develop a deep understanding of the site at 1-3 Bank Street, Pyrmont. It threads First Nations design thinking – including the Government Architect NSW ‘Connecting with Country Framework’ – into a broader understanding of the histories of the location. Taking this site as a starting point, the project considers different ways of working there in relation to First Nations thinking.

The architectural program is an adaptive reuse project centring on the Blackwattle Bay Dragon Boat Club and Boat-Building School. The aim is to provide a facility where members of the club can meet, train and pass on the tradition of dragon boating to future generations. In addition to the club, the objective of the new facility is to provide space for building and learning how to craft traditional wooden dragon boats, as well as staff offices, a cafe and exhibition spaces.

Bachelor of Architecture and Environments

The Big Picture Thomas Stromberg This studio takes a clear and distinct focus on the the ‘big picture’. Naturally, a resolution of the brief is required – a resolution that might be conventional or not – but an emphasis on the preliminary stages of the design process is maintained throughout. It focuses on honing the critical thinking that is typically required of design architects and architects working on competitions more than the skills required for project architects working on documentation and delivery.

This means paying extra attention to certain parts of the design process such the broader physical, historical, social and cultural context. Other points of focus include the conceptual development of the idea and its formal translation and overall massing/ siting strategies, as well as critical assessment of, and response to, the program and the brief.

The formulation and graphic communication of a compelling narrative then ties it all together.

With its ‘big picture’ lens, this studio does not consider technical concerns such as construction details, BCA compliance, sustainability, acoustics and so on – except where some of these concerns are specifically relevant to a given concept.

Enduring Architectures Within a Conflicting Vernacular of Beauty and Ugliness Adam Grice The Cambridge dictionary tell us that vernacular (noun) is “the form of a language that a particular group of speakers use naturally, especially in informal situations”. As such, a building can be said to be vernacular when it “speaks” to, and of, its place.

With adaptive reuse as the focal point, this studio moves towards the creation of conversational and vernacular narratives within a sustainable and enduring architecture.

Blackwattle bay, before colonisation, was a site of unparalleled natural beauty, a place in which nature was at home. However, following European settlement, the place became a swamp – it was occupied by distilleries, slaughterhouses, shipwrights, iron works and other noisy, polluting industries causing sewerage to flow into the bay. It is a place which simultaneously speaks of beauty and ugliness, and both conditions are relevant to its historical and vernacular narrative.

With this understanding in place, the creation of an architecture that tells this contradictory story is called for – an architecture celebrating the many layers of history that make a place unique, special and peculiar.

The project begins by mapping and analysing the site, researching its history, understanding its surrounding context and investigating its features.

The knowledge gained then acts as inspiration for creating an enduring, memorable and environmentally conscious vernacular architecture.

Sustainability Make-do and mend Emma Heffernan (lead) “Do what you can, with what you've got, where you are” - T. Roosevelt In the context of a climate emergency, we need to start to value every part of the existing built environment. It’s an approach that amounts to conceptualising the existing building stock as our repository or material palette. Each of those palettes and buildings has its own memories, and the studio’s aim is to explore the extent to which these memories are retained, adapted or given new life as new spaces of beauty and meaning are created.

The project site presents an opportunity for the adaptive reuse of a set of buildings of seemingly limited economic, social or historical value. With a focus on sustainable architecture and engaging with the Dragon Boat community, a number of layered concepts are brought together. They include passive design, material sufficiency, care and repair.

A Transformative Journey Toktam Tabrizi A transformative journey characterises this studio, a journey that involves the critical negotiation of memory and forgetting within an existing structure and its surrounding place. By reconsidering the significance of these memories, a question arises about how they can be retained, adapted or revitalised to give new life and meaning to the spaces they create. At the core of this endeavour lies the aspiration to craft sustainable places that resonate with beauty and purpose, specifically tailored for the Dragon Boat community.

The complexities of sustainable design form the backdrop to the studio, pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation while incorporating historical elements that have the potential to enrich modern spaces. The relationships between memory, place and sustainability are reimagined in a process of shaping environments that not only honour the past but also embrace present and future needs.

Collaborating with experienced professionals within an immersive and dynamic learning environment, the studio explores case studies of successful adaptive reuse projects. The aim is to develop a profound understanding of the roles that memory and forgetting play in the creation of sustainable places for new activities, creating the knowledge and skills for a more environmentally conscious and socially responsible future.

Urbanism Memory and Forgetting Urbanism Maddie Shahi (lead) From Pirrama to Pyrmont, find the angel in the marble and set them free! Michelangelo's sculptural vision provides the inspiration to embark on a captivating journey of urban design and discovery. Starting with the exploration of Pirrama, the studio calls for the creation of a master plan. It seeks to unveil the site’s hidden capacities and unlock its untapped potential – both in its past and present, as well as its future possibilities.

Looking to Bank Street, Pyrmont, the focus is then on framing meaningful concepts and preparing a conceptual layout to guide the site’s future growth.

Overall, the approach is designed to enhance skills in master planning and gain expertise in town and regional planning.

Meanwhile, the project develops a number of professional skills including placemaking and cultivating a strong sense of place, as well as a general understanding of the master planning process.

It engages in strategic thinking and collaborative work while uncovering and identifying the hidden capacities of the site, all with a view towards formulating meaningful concepts. Within the context of urban planning, it allows for the translation of those concepts and ideas into actionable plans.

What makes an urban space vibrant and meaningful?

Mohammad Abousaeidi Based on the themes of memory and forgetting, this design studio explores the strategic techniques that improve or enhance a sense of identity and imageability in urban design. It involves developing a high level of familiarity with the various dimensions of urban design, expanding our understanding of the field and gaining insights into large-scale design projects. It also includes developing skills in the analytical tools needed for urban design.

The principles of New Urbanism provide another focus. This aspect involves the systematic integration of urban space qualities including walkability, mixeduse, connectivity and human scale across various dimensions of urban areas.

Overall, it’s an approach that encourages the prioritisation of human needs and facilitates the development of thriving communities to create a strong sense of place and belonging. The studio maintains a focus on resolving and harmonising demands ranging from functionality to aesthetics and creativity, all the while exploring how forms can effectively convey meanings.

Tin Sheds Gallery is a contemporary exhibition space located within the Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney that has been a site for radical experimentation for over 50 years. It provides a public platform for projects that inspire the imagination and ignite critical dialogue - addressing the diverse forces that shape the built environment locally and internationally.

The Tin Sheds officially opened in 1969 as an autonomous art space on City Road within the university grounds, facilitated by artists, academics and students. It spurred a pivotal historical movement in Australian art, nurturing cross-disciplinary experimentation and politically orientated practices for several decades. In 1989 it officially joined the School delivering art workshop classes. In 2004, it relocated to a purpose-built gallery onsite and became operationality integrated with the school.

The gallery’s mission is to foster and advance debate about the role of architecture, art, design and urbanism in contemporary society through the production of innovative exhibitions, publications and related activities.

Workshop 2023 23 February – 18 March 2023 Exhibition by Caleb Niethe, Sarah Anstee, Kevin Hwang, Carmelo Nastasi

The Tin Sheds sat quiet on City Road in those post-war years, until the Artists came. The Sheds had been used for military experiments during the war, but records of what was found behind their bolted doors are hazy. Over the decades rumours began to spread, rumours, never verified, of some kind of apparatus that could draw… These rumours had long faded to myth, until Students returned to Tin Sheds this year to find in the space… a Drawing Machine.

In the wake of this discovery, Workshop 2023 is a return of the gallery to drawing and to process. For a month the Tin Sheds will be a facility for students and the community to work on ideas, to spend time in a space of iteration and experiment.

Image credit: Hamish McIntosh

An exhibition of images, side-by-side, exploring the reciprocal relationship between architecture and photography today.

Analogue Images presents for the first time photographs from Rory Gardiner and Maxime Delvaux side-by-side. Far from innocent, these adjacencies disclose certain nuances in the nature of collaborations and the forms of authorship they produce, the contexts and processes they present, and how they capture everyday life. Each coupling explores the reciprocal relationship between photography and architecture to establish a dialogue on how contemporary images build space.

Fossil Fables 18 May – 8 July 2023 Exhibition by the Global Extraction Observatory (GEO) – Eduardo Kairuz and Sam Spurr in collaboration with D'Arcy Newberry-Dupe and Bud Rizk Curated by Kate Goodwin

Fossil Fables is a collection of stories that explore Australia's complex relationship with extraction and coal mining. These stories are told through a series of installations that use the tools of architecture to analyse and communicate the influence of energy production and resource extraction in our society.

The exhibition brings the vast energy landscapes of the Hunter Valley into the interior of the urban gallery, making visible the unearthly places that the Anthropocene has terraformed at scales unimaginable to the general populace. Each work in the exhibition situates an aspect of this complex problem in a spatial and affective way, telling stories of scale, violence, and materiality.

Amplify: Story, Resistance, Radio is staging a gallery takeover that is part live ‘Pirate Radio’ performance, part futuring workshop, and part sound exhibition about the importance of amplification and listening in urban politics. Amplify is a living, breathing example of how stories occupy urban space and generate solidarity. It responds to longstanding calls to protect music and creative spaces in our cities, to create more diverse media landscapes and to champion First Nations music and journalism. This takeover invites people to share stories about sound and activism in the city through live radio broadcasts from the gallery and visual conversations covering key moments of amplification of the past, present and future.

Show up. Listen up. Get involved.
