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 Leigh-Anne Hepburn Head of Design

This year marked a significant transition in design education. The return to on-campus teaching was particularly meaningful for a discipline that thrives on in-person interaction. Watching students and staff come together to connect and collaborate has been wonderful.

The learning journey of our graduating students was forged in a time of crisis and uncertainty. However, the resilience and determination shown in both completing their degrees and producing creative, thoughtful, and ground-breaking design is truly inspiring.

We were also excited to introduce the Bachelor of Design (Interaction Design). The program builds on the strong foundation and provenance of our Design Computing degree, and complements our Design Major, Master of Design, and Master of Interaction Design and Electronic Arts. For over two decades, we've led in teaching and research that explores, defines, and designs for human-technology interactions. Just as technology rapidly evolves, so do the expectations for designers.

Beyond technical skills for emerging technologies, our students must cultivate critical thinking, ethics, empathy, and positionality to address complex socio-cultural, strategic, and sustainability challenges.

To our graduating students, I have a call to action.

Finding one's purpose in an ever-changing world is challenging but remember that you are designers. You possess the ability to thrive, and indeed flourish in uncertainty. Design isn't just a career; it's a lens through which to see, feel and experience the world. In a time often driven by capitalist ideals, I urge you to be curious, creative, and compassionate. We need thinkers and creators unafraid to challenge assumptions and brave enough propose alternative futures. As designers, you are better prepared than most to respond to the challenges of tomorrow. Congratulations on your success, and good luck in your future careers!

Finally, I'd like to extend my gratitude to our extensive network of tutors, lecturers, partners, and sponsors who have consistently supported our design programs.

Your commitment to student experience, pushing the boundaries of design, and fostering collegiality ensures that the field of design remains engaging, exciting, and impactful.

Introduction Luke Hespanhol Master of Interaction Design and Electronic Arts Program Director

After years apart, we are now back together, on campus, in cities, and in public spaces. 2023 saw us reconnecting and re-engaging in interpersonal interactions, both synchronous and asynchronous, seamlessly flicking between physical and online contexts. We have relearned how to be in the world and reappreciate each other’s presence, now arguably redefined as perpetually hybrid.

Can we still live together in this new hybrid reality?

Interaction Design is, at its core, the design of our engagement with the world. It is everywhere, not only connecting people, but mediating how they exchange information, creativity, and ingenuity, framing their interpretation of life, culture, and each other. No longer confined to approaching people as “users” of products (for whom a “user experience”, or UX, thus needs to be designed), the field of Interaction Design is increasingly concerned with designing relationships, telling stories, and communicating value through shared lived experiences.

Being a skilled interaction designer in 2023 presupposes an openness to look beyond humancentred narrative or culture wars, embrace the world fully, and get comfortable with the unfamiliar. It means to design interfaces that are conducive to civic and ethical behaviour, positively contributing to society and, in turn, further refining our own social norms, politics and moral codes. At the heart of designing good UX, lies the goodwill to facilitate and strengthen human communication, dialogue, connectedness, care, mental health, and collective wellbeing.

Students of the Master of Interaction Design and Electronic Arts practice how to make sense of the world and strive to make it better through the thoughtful application of technology. Designing experiences is more than designing screens, devices, services, processes, art installations, smartphone apps, or enabling augmentation of reality and conversations with artificial intelligences. While it may indeed involve all those, it fundamentally aims at the circumstances

13

and societal contexts where those experiences take place, and how those circumstances and contexts are themselves redefined in the process.

An art form largely delivered through electronic means, Interaction Design sensibly crafts our digitally enhanced lives, moment by moment. As its best, it can also acknowledge its own limitations and nurture in us the wisdom to learn how to enjoy the world we live in, be it with technology turned on or off. Congratulations to all MIDEA students who graduated in both semesters of 2023! Be kind, be good, and be open to engage with all sides of humanity.

The last three decades have seen the rapid growth of apps fur thered by mobile technologica l devices. Today, overwh elmed with the volume of information online, you ng adults struggle to be intentional and mindful in their consumption. All of us are guilty of scrollin g mindlessly for hours, which has adverse effe cts on our physical and mental health.

As a group, we concep tualised and designed Everything – an on-tren d, future-forward appbased digital product tha t challenges convention al notions of content con sumption and creation through weeks of rigorou s user research and design iterations. Everyth ing brings together the functionalities of multip le platforms – to bring you everything you nee d to know. In addition to enabling users to control and curate their feed, users are encouraged to share content as per sonal reflections of what the y see online, in the form of journals. Everything enc ourages users to observ e and reflect on their dig ital consumption habits and has an affordance to set up and customise viewing modes, for use rs to toggle between focused and explore mo des. Think of it like a new s feed powered by a sea rch engine, that becom es smarter and more ‘you’ , the more you use it.

Capstone Research Semester 1 Jody Watts Semester 2 Lian Loke With thanks to: AlphaPi for the internship opportunity and mentoring our students received to work on cutting edge mixed reality training simulation scenarios with a real world client.

Research is the pursuit of new knowledge. Design research puts the work of design at the heart of the research enquiry. This semester students undertook an independent research project under the supervision of Design Lab academics on topics that engaged with contemporary issues, emerging technologies and the needs of industry and community.

Our students successfully navigated the winding path of conducting research, starting with a research question to frame their enquiry. Iteration in research is valued as much as iteration in design. Design research can produce many different kinds of outputs, from insights into user experience and behaviour, to the generation of novel concepts and prototypes, conceptual frameworks and new methods and tools.

Some of the student outputs will make their way into practice, helping to shape the future of the profession and society.

Design for Future Journey Types: Evaluating In-Vehicle User Experience for Fully Automated Driving through Speculative Design in Virtual Reality Tianrui Liu

Virtual Reality

The widespread adoptio n of fully automated driving (FAD) (SAE L5) in the near future is expected to revolution ise the mobility industry, transforming vehicles into intelligent entities and redefining the passenger experience, which is expected to not only imp rove road safety but also redefine passenger exp erience, for example, by allowing passengers to par ticipate in non-drivin grelated tasks.

However, a review of cur rent studies reveals three existing research gaps. First, most of the current research on aut onomous driving and use r experience is based on lower-level autonomous driving technologies. Sec ond, user-centred approaches are commo nly used in research but often introduce par ticipan ts prematurely, resulting in path-dependent and socially constrained final conclusions. Third, current research on future user experience consists primarily of questionnaires and inte rviews and lacks visual and conceptual prototypes to conduct user resear ch more effectively. Our stu dy took a speculative design approach to dev elop a virtual reality (VR ) prototype exploring futu re possibilities of invehicle passenger exp eriences of FAD.

Developing a Safety Model for Users Based on Motion Planning with Speed Variation in Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) Zhongyi (Joy) Liu

Human-Robot Collaboration

Emerging cyber-physica l and artificial intelligence technology empowers booming applications wit hin human-robot collabora tion (HRC) across differe nt disciplines. Advanced cyb er-physical technology empowers the booming applications within the field of human-robot col laboration (HRC) in a wider range across var ious disciplines.

Industrial robots provid e opportunities for practitioners in the arc hitecture and design fiel d to rapidly and accurately actualise with 3D data/ programs, and become the most commonly used robotic joints in bot h publications and applications. However, as the arm-type indust rial robots move into the dyn amic work environment, the unpredictable behavi our of users, especially inexperienced operato rs, in close interaction will challenge the current HR C safety features and standards.

This research aims to dev elop a safety model in the shared-working spa ce by motion planning.

The model will provide an intuitive and inclusive approach to reflect the robot’s intention in the collaborative working pro cess, to improve the use r experience in the workin g process by reducing the study load and inaccessib ility in the human-robot collaborative production process.

Effects of Voice, Gender, and Age on Acceptance of Autonomous Vehicles in Shared Spaces Haochen Zhang

Autonomous Vehicles

This VR experiment stu dy explores the extern al speech interface suppor ting autonomous vehicle (AV)-pedestrian interac tion in a shared space with scenarios of a single veh icle stopping in front of the individual pedestrian (the par ticipants). This simulation looks into how the voice, age, and gender of the external speech interfaces can impact the acceptability of AVs. Through this experiment , four different human sounds (younger male adult voice, younger fem ale adult voice, older male adult voice, older female adult voice) were evalua ted against a baseline condition with no sound interface.

The contributions of this study are providing design recommendation s when external speech interfaces are needed for AVs to safely interac t with pedestrians in an open shared space wit ha low density of people and vehicles. This study also provides insights into the impacts of voice, gender , and age of non-humanoi d robots on the level of acceptance.

Branching Narratives in Film: The Convergence of Video Game Design and Social Theatrical Experiences

34

Master of Design

Calvin Embleton

Interactive Storytelling

'

Video games and film, two dominant forms of modern entertainme nt, are increasingly converging. Yet, while games boldly offer branching narratives, film s traditionally remain passive. Employing the double diamond design framework, my research aimed to infuse game design elements into film s, giving rise to an interactive multiplayer cinematic experience.

Key insights were gleane d from focus group testing in theatre-like set tings and the creation of a proof of concept. Res ults suggest branching cinematic narratives res onate more in personal spaces like homes rath er than in conventional theatres.

Importantly, viewers sho wed a clear preference for mixing group discussio n with individual voting in shorter narratives. This exploration not only hel ps the entertainment indust ry with a fresh blueprint for immersive storytelling , but also provides rich er experiences for film vie wers of all types.

Introduction Rohan Lulham Master of Design Program Director

The Master of Design program encourages students to challenge traditional perceptions of what it means to live, work, and design in the world today. Design offers a response to some of our most complex global challenges, and these are not easy challenges to solve – they are intricately woven into the fabric of our daily lives, requiring us to look deeply at the intersection of knowledge and practice, and to understand beyond our own disciplines to support and enable change.

In exploring these challenges, our students can study the design of business and organisations through the Strategic Design stream, reimagining strategic vision and organisational practices, or design for business in the Design Innovation stream, innovating new products, and services. In applying design practice in their chosen disciplinary streams, students not only design solutions and outcomes, but also develop core transdisciplinary skills in research, leadership, management, and communication, all essential for enabling and supporting future change.

Working on live projects, our students engage with real-world problems faced by businesses, communities, and public-sector organisations.

A number of these projects are represented in the works exhibited, demonstrating the breadth and depth of engagements undertaken and the wonderful ideas generated. I commend our students on the professional, creative, and engaged design practice demonstrated throughout their degree, and wish them all the best for their future careers.

We, as designers, are a collection of experiences, values, skills, and knowledge – each working to shape our position. As our graduates move forward to begin their careers, this exhibition is an important moment to consider and reflect on positionality. I encourage you all to think deeply about your position, and remember, just as the discipline of design is constantly evolving, so too will your position and practice – so be open to new experiences, new learning, and ways of seeing and doing. Good luck!

Future Inclusivity: Next Generation Student Life Leigh-Anne Hepburn Tutors: Jody Watts Genevieve Murry Jan Körting Michelle Miller Studio critics and contributors: Sabrina Sabri, ADP

Supporting engagement, equity, diversity, and inclusion amongst student cohorts are core principles and strategic goals of higher education institutions.

Addressing these aims requires considering a range of complex and often challenging issues with social, political, environmental, technological, ethical, and legal implications.

In recent years, the University of Sydney has recognised that university life isn't just about the classes. It's also a chance for students to make lifelong friends, try new things, develop their interests, gain leadership skills, and have fun. Supporting students to make the most of their university experience is a priority area.

Additionally, the pandemic significantly impacted how we connect, engage, and learn. The return to campus after the pandemic creates an exciting opportunity to reimagine inclusivity – considering how we might design for next-generation student life.

FUTURE INCLUSIVITY: Next Generation Student Life Introduction

What we did

University life is meant to be a formative and positive time in a person’s life, however it comes with it's own set of unique challenges. Students are having to balance academic pursuits and work, while readjusting to new environments and social pressures.

What makes these challenges particularly difficult is the diversity in the student population.

Understanding the complexities that comes with bringing together diverse groups is essential to creating a more inclusive student life.

A return to in-person teaching after the pandemic comes with a whole new set of challenges which universities are trying to navigate. People have changed their behaviours and expectations around learning, engagement, and socialisation.

This report explores the current expectations of students to reimagine the notion of an inclusive student life.

Research Questions

What are the barriers to students feeling a sense of belonging to the wider university community?

Problem Space

Undergraduate 30%

How might we provide inclusive career opportunities, providing students with visibility and inspiration for potential career paths?

How might we create a sense of belonging and connection to the wider alumni network, university community or industry partners?

Key Insights

Transitioning into the Industry “Teach me what’s to come”

Alumni Network & Knowledge Sharing “You can’t be what you can’t see”

Transitioning from university life to the professional world is often a daunting thought for students. Students look to graduates for insight into the realities of work-life, inspiration and reassurance

The desire to feel part of a greater alumni community comes from the need to be able to see different career paths in order to reimagine one's own career.

Continuous Support & Facilitation “We’ve got to keep in touch”

Relevancy of learning and opportunities “Allow me to assist"

In a post-pandemic world, students require a more hands-on approach to facilitating a connection with recent alumni or industry partners. However, opportunities where alumni or professionals come to campus are few and far between. There is a need and expectation that the university should create a more structured program to facilitate networking and mentorship

Students perceive there is a gap between what is taught in the classroom and what is considered relevant within industry. Careerrelated events on campus such as career fairs are not inclusive of all students. For these reasons, students are are seeking external learning opportunities in order to gain exposure to “real-life” projects.

INTERVENTION OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION Due to the pandemic, universities have adopted a hybrid teaching approach that combines online and offline learning. This approach has led to several challenges and physical and psychological difficulties that impede the development of a real campus atmosphere. We as design course students would like to collaborate with the School of Architecture, Design, and Planning Student Portal (ADP) who are dedicated to supporting students to strengthen the connection between remote students and their base camp Wilkinson Building.

PROJECT BRIEF

DESIGN PROC

Our challenge was to reimagine student life at Wilkson and see how inclusivity could be supported and encouraged there. Our research showed that one of the most effective ways for feeling included ad engaged at university is through group work. However, Wilkinson does not have the types of physical spaces that enable or encourage group work. Our solution solves this challenge by proposing principles for designing group spaces. We present an example of this solution with a redesign of the Masters Home Base on level 4 of Wilkinson.

DEFINED CHALLENGE & OPPOTUNITIES “How might we prioritise connection in the way we teach at Wilkinson so that no student ever feels alone or left behind?”

“How might we improve communication and interaction between teachers and classmates to create a more supportive environment for engagement and belonging within and without the classroom?”

“How might we create a feeling of equality in our physical teaching spaces, so that students of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and abilities feel included?”

How might we redesign the layout and use of spaces outside the classroom to provide suitable, clean spaces for deep work, group learning space, and space for socializing with students from diff f erent majors? ff

Master students desire genuine friendships based on common goals, experiences, and ideas.

However, they have limited social channels and opportunities to meet others outside of the classroom compared to undergraduates.

Current students are eager to gain experience and information about the workplace from graduates, but they lack conttact channels.

How might we create channels and opportunities for Master students to meet and build genuine friendships based on common goals, experience, and ideas, beyond superficial interactions?

Communication and interaction with teachers and classmates are crucial for feeling supported and engaged in the classroom.

Having a supportive environment with equal exchange among students and faculty is important for engagement and belonging g.

DESIGN SOLUTION 3. CLASSROOM The principles outlined are intended to serve as guidelines when conceptualising and designing spaces for students. They've been created to meet specific student needs identified in our research but are also malleable enough to be adapted to different cohorts of students and underscore the importance of physical spaces in the overall well-being of students.

It is recommended that these be embedded into the planning phase of all infrastructure projects through University Infrastructure, similar to Macquarie University (Macquarie University, 2023) and student spaces be co-designed with the principles serving as a foundation. By doing so, the university can ensure that the postpandemic campus not only fulfils the functional requirements but also nurtures student growth and development.

The "Principles in action" section illustrates the practical implementation of these principles.

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.

Analogue Images: Recent Works

by Rory Gardiner and Maxime Delvaux 30 March – 6 May 2023 Curated by Guillermo FernándezAbascal, Urtzi Grau, Janelle Woo, Benjamin Chadbond and Amanda Williams

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.

Lacaton & Vassal: Living in the City 27 July – 23 September 2023 Curated by Anne Lacaton & JeanPhilippe Vassal, Hannes Frykholm & Catherine Lassen Collaborators: Matthew Asimakis, Liat Busqila, Mackenzie Nix, Caitlin Roseby This exhibition was sponsored by the Embassy of France in Australia

This exhibition presents three years of teaching and research framed by the inaugural Garry and Susan Rothwell Chair in Architectural Design Leadership co-chairs Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal.

Connecting Lacaton & Vassal’s architectural projects, documentary films, research, and studio investigations focused on the Sirius Building and the Waterloo Housing Estate, Lacaton & Vassal: Living in the City illuminates a method based on close attention, transformation rather than demolition, and provision of the highest quality of living space. It foregrounds a critical priority for the Pritzker Prize-winning French architects: Urbanism begins inside each apartment, with quality housing for everyone.

Amplify: Story, Resistance, Radio 5 October – 18 November 2023 Curated by Clare Cooper, Dallas Rogers, Rully Zakaria, Preston Peachy, Michael Mossman

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.
