LuminoCity 2013

Built Environment Graduation Exhibition be.unsw.edu.au/luminocity Never Stand Still

Built Environment

is a forum to imagine, test and debate the future of the 21st century city.

For two weeks, events and exhibitions detailing the visionary work of UNSW Built Environment students and staff will ignite the senses and challenge our understanding of the built environment.

This showcase event is the largest multi-disciplinary design exhibition of its kind in Australia, with over 500 students from across our degrees presenting their final-year projects. Every few days a new exhibition of student work from different BE disciplines will be on show in a rolling exhibition that will present fresh and evocative ideas and designs, bringing you something different to experience each time you visit.

During the day, UNSW Kensington will be alight with all the colour, vibrancy and surging energy of a rolling exhibition. Join us on one of the many celebratory nights when the buildings become the canvas for a high-tech illumination powered by some of the creative minds behind Vivid Sydney.

The light show is accentuated with choreography by Sue Healy and the UNSW Dance Company.

Throughout LuminoCity, a fixed exhibit of student work from across the disciplines will also be on show. In the spirit of LuminoCity, the Leading Lights exhibition is a celebration of the diversity and interdisciplinary nature of our student work. Leading Lights demonstrates the creative expression and technical precision of our students under the leadership of a robust, supportive and highly skilled teaching staff.

Illuminate your thinking on issues related to the built environment with our diverse program of events. Celebrate the launch of LuminoCity and our two new schools, AGSU and ASA+D, with a rousing panel discussion in which UNSW BE poses the question: How does Sydney simultaneously grow and preserve its status as one of the most liveable cities in the world? Joining our academic luminaries to discuss the issue will be Immediate Past President of Planning Institute of Australia NSW, Ms Sarah Hill, National President of the Australian Institute of Architects, Mr Paul Berkemeier and State President of Australian Institute of Landscape Architecture, Mr James Grant.

We also invite you to take a trip off campus with tours that delve into the history and design of some of Sydney’s iconic and lesser known sites, including a Sydney City Highlights Tour, Landscape Architecture Twilight Harbour Tour, and Tour of Riverwood North which are sure to provide you with unexpected insights about your city.

But that’s just the beginning.

LuminoCity is a celebration of our UNSW BE community and includes activities for alumni, industry partners and school students as well. For a full guide to our events and exhibitions visit the website at be.unsw.edu.au/luminocity.

Join us as we celebrate brilliant ideas for the 21st century city at LuminoCity 2013.
