Note From the Director 8

Discipline Director and Fourth Year Tutor Lisa Zamberlan The UNSW BIA (Hons) graduation design studio focuses on the agency of the interior within the context of the urban morphologies and civic typologies of the twentyfirst century city.

Through the framework of this studio project, our graduating cohort is engaging in the political and social agency of their discipline in the development of the urban interior.

Conscious of their opportunity to develop design as a significant driver of innovation, these works describe a very different future of design practice, one that involves the democratisation of good design, collaboration and social contribution as core to contemporary design practice.

Note From Studio Leaders

Second Semester Course Convener Dr. Sing D’Arcy

First Semester Course Convener Dr. Laurence Kimmel 40

It was a pleasure to guide students through their research as Course Convenor for the first part of the Graduation Project for the site at Goat Island. The Project incorporated the exploration of a brief for a civic centre for the site. The Graduation Project is the final achievement of four years of study of Interior Architecture, and the freedom given to the students and the ability they have to make responsible choices is a joy for the Course Convener. In the course of the Project, students learn to follow the requirements of a real client in National Parks. The Graduation studio is a pinnacle in student’s preparation for professional life, as they learn to discuss, adapt and present their project according to real life requirements. It is fascinating to see student’s designs flourish and evolve during the second part of the year and to witness design proposals that are diverse and daring.

The project for the 2018 Bachelor of Interior Architecture (Hons) Graduation Studio had as its site the iconic harbour location of Goat Island. Whilst the island and its built structures are highly visible from the harbour foreshores and waterways, its interior spaces have remained for the most part an unknown.

Students were asked to propose a programmatic and spatial response in the form of a suite of cultural facilities. The client for this project was the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Services. Their vision for a 41 revitalised Goat Island – integrated and accessible to the people of Sydney and its visitors – was a driving force in the shaping of the design propositions.

The site, both in terms of its particular landscape and location, as well as the high heritage significance of its structures, challenged students to locate their propositions in relation to the role of the interior as a catalyst for change within the contemporary city. Many of the projects chose to intervene radically within the extant spaces, challenging the conventional notions of history and heritage, others drew inspiration from the natural remnant forms of ‘Memel’.

Irrespective of the strategy, style or stance of the respective projects, each of the schemes presented in this document evidence the imagination, creativity and a ‘future tense’ vision of the interior profession.

Site - Goat Island 42

43

Our graduating cohort is shaping the future of urban interiors in the 21st century through the propsals for the revitalisation and reinvigoration of Goat Island. Goat Island is a small island located within the Sydney Harbour National Park and holds significant cultural and social histories for Sydney, NSW and Australia.

Cadence Cadence is a centre for music production, education, live performance and arts after hours that aims to combat the overarching issue of Sydney’s declining night life and its role within the music industry. By providing a centre with art, music and education at its core, Cadence aims to create new ways for Sydney city to collaborate and connect; injecting expression and creativity back into a city that is forced to be silent after 1:30am.

The notion of connection is explored from macro to micro through architectural form, tactile qualities and sensory integration. patriciaadorable_@live.com

BADU: Arts Precinct for the Marine Sciences

g.andersonsparkes@gmail.com

BADU (meaning ‘water’ in the Gadigal native language), is an artistic precinct for the marine sciences which promotes a unique dialogue between scientific study and artistic interactivity. The redevelopment of Memel (Goat Island), encourages an appreciation and celebration of the fragility, beauty and ephemerality of our oceans whilst simultaneously educating people on the increasing threat of climate change and global warming. The vision for BADU facilitates a sympathetic approach to the site, with the creation of new insertions that juxtapose the preserved existing structures. Experimentation with oxidised surfaces on site encapsulates the ephemeral nature of our oceans and reflects the decay and deterioration of our coral reefs. Graphic artworks and sculptural elements are also found throughout BADU to mimic its program and celebrate art as a way of bringing about awareness.

EXTRACT Arising from the detrimental ecological effects of complacency towards the availability of non-renewable resources and our irreversible waste habits, EXTRACT explores the need for sustainable practice in a global city like Sydney.

rachel.ang13@hotmail.com 48

0412833475

Whilst there are some sustainable initiatives in place, such as basic recycling programs, there is a greater need for education on sustainable practices and the impact of lax attitudes towards informed and responsible ecological practice. Focusing on completely sustainable products from the beginning of their life cycle to the end in the design phase sees EXTRACT emerge as a site defined by and designed by sustainable practice.

With a multipurpose exhibition hall, auditorium, workshops, research library and bar, EXTRACT seeks to invite the community to engage with designers, local projects and sustainable research innovations on the iconic Goat Island in Sydney Harbour.

REVIVE “the heart of Sydney”

zarah.baitz@gmail.com 52

zarahbaitz

Poverty, incarceration, inequality, the housing crisis, refugee displacement, disability discrimination, gender inequality and more, are civic issues that are currently polluting Sydney’s society and are at the forefront of our concerns. Whilst the statistics are staggering, these issues should be seen as mere symptoms of a greater problem, that being the fragmented nature of contemporary society. As a society we are continuously categorised by demographic, this has caused disconnect and loss of understanding between demographics, which in turn has lead to stigmatisation to evolve. REVIVE ‘the heart of Sydney’, aims to provide an accessible and boundaryless societal hub, with programs that create awareness, celebrate differences and highlight commonalities between us as human beings.

The centre will offer opportunity, foster civic engagement and ultimately encourage social sustainability.

Taction

rozi.berry@gmail.com 54

0451260014 roz_berry

Relating predominantly to the sense of touch and alluding to the near obsolete use of the word, Taction aims to ameliorate disconnect within contemporary Sydney society to their native surrounds. Channeling kinesthetic and haptic learning through the arts, the design guides audiences through short classes in spaces which stimulate senses of touch, sight, sound, taste and smell. This encourages a primitive tactile interaction with one another within spaces that are strongly linked to the natural elements. By breaking through barriers of the skin, both architecturally and at a human scale, the environment and soul become linked. The design equally draws on the power of art to transcend the taboo and provoke individual thought whilst acknowledging the troubled history of the island’s past.

Referring to a point where two lines intersect and form an axis, The Origin is designed as a centralised location on Sydney’s Goat Island where people come together to meet and connect. An experience-focused civic centre focused on counteracting social exclusion through inclusive activities and spaces, The Origin is open for all members of the community and visitors to Sydney, with the sole intention to enjoy the beauty of the island and its social activities, in particular, spaces to meet the growing demands of not-forprofit organisations for events and programs.

The Origin is a Sydney-focused event and education space with the sole intention to promote greater social cohesion for future generations.

NEST proposes to transform Goat Island into a self-sustaining island. A space wherein humans and nature can coexist and thrive with one another. The idea came from initial research on the top concerns of today’s contemporary society; climate change, obesity, and the environmental effects of technology. Therefore NEST is a proposal to create a space that addresses these issues and more. A lifestyle and research hub that thrives on its own power source and grows its own fruit and vegetables, NEST aims to create a platform for new technology and simultaneously provide healthy spaces for the community to share knowledge on sustainable practices to better society.

Sydney Cultural Centre for Death

0422705568 emcapel

The infrastructure and attitudes towards death has changed drastically over time and are not aligned to the culture of a 21st century city; death is currently shrouded in mystery and whispers, causing unease and discomfort around the subject. The Sydney Cultural Centre for Death proposed for Sydney’s Goat Island is created in response to the evolving sociocultural conditions of a city that is becoming increasingly secular and multi-cultural - the centre seeks to cater to all diverse groups in the community to create unity through the shared realities of death; experiences, expressions and rituals. When faced with death, there exists a need within humankind for ritual and practice, which are attempts to relate to the experience and find meaning within it. Various flexible spaces for death processes, ceremonies and ritualistic practice underpin and define the circulation of the site, and aim to remove the veil surrounding death in contemporary society.

Sensorium

0400141404 kiaraalicecarrolldesign

Sensorium is a proposed civic centre for Goat Island (Me-Mel) - the island at the heart of Sydney Harbour. The redevelopment of the site encapsulates the underlying superficiality of our image-based culture, endemic since the rise of digital media. The design takes note of the ways in which we, as humans, interact with, experience and understand the space around us. The civic centre is a series of typologies that force exposure to external stimuli, devoid of visual dominance.

By highlighting Sydney Harbour’s nautical history through architectural gesture, and the final immersive space in the form of a haptic natatorium the design has incorporated Australia’s esoteric relationship to water.

Sensorium is an extension of our public spaces with an inextricable link to all those who live within the public realm.

UNITO Unito seeks to re-imagine the traditional notion of a community centre, with the aim to address the needs of the 21st century Sydney community. The rapid pace of technological change is one of the most defining events occuring in contemporary society, particularly in relation to smart technology, automation and the internet.

Unito aims to address and explore this rapid change and what it may mean for Australian society, culture and economy while engaging the community in such issues. Technological progress will continue to have implications for the workplace, communication and transportation, and global competition will require Australia to be at the forefront of cutting edge technological developments via StartUp entrepreneurship.

Transforming the existing buildings and creating multifunctional public spaces that allow visitors to engage and connect with the site via educational facilities, learning resources and programs to face the challenges of digitalisation. The project will also include the development of additional tech hub spaces to facilitate industry networking and provide work-focused areas, with opportunities for mentoring and accomodation for international visitors and educators. Conversely, the Community Centre will explore contentious issues surrounding the rise of the digital age including social isolation, reduced physical activity and withdrawal from nature.

Unito aims to reflect the future of technology-based design spaces, creating a centralised hub to propell Sydney forward on the global stage in its investment in technological development and artificial development.

Research has shown that music can be the key to strengthening Sydney’s voice as a global city, influencing its power for positive social change in the future. Sydney is in need of a hub that will rejuvenate its live music culture as well as offer a space which celebrates and encourages the coffee culture within Australia. These two industries offer a synergy which will nurture and develop creative thinking and ensure both industries flourish into the future. The Australian Music & Enlivening Center (AMEC) will expose people to a full range of Australian music & coffee, engaging them through with markets, social places, cafÊs, performances and studio environments. AMEC aims to reinvigorate the struggling live music industry and provide a hub of celebration for emerging Australian coffee developers and musicians alike.

Sydney Centre of Cultural Connection

The Sydney Centre for Cultural Connection is a central hub that combines research, teaching and design to educate, inform and immerse visitors into the diverse cultural history of Sydney and Australia. At a time where Australia’s cultural identity continues to grow and diversify, the issue of cultural discrimination still exists within the city despite the accessibility of information via social media and the internet. Goat Island has Australian cultural deeply history embedded within it - focusing on its phases of occupation over time, beginning with Indigenous to Colonial to current, the island cultivates significant periods of time in national history. Resulting from this The Sydney Centre for Cultural Connection is a civic centre accessible by all that encourages cultural exchange to work towards building a socially sustainable, multicultural future for Sydney.

A Sense of Sound The art, history and sound of music plays a defining role in the everyday lives of humans. Much like architecture, music is a powerful tool that evokes a sense of feeling and range of emotions from individuals. A Sense of Sound is a project designed for visitors to embrace the art of music and escape responsibility from everyday life via the enjoyment, education and exploration of sound and music.

Sextopia

dianamespiritu@gmail.com 80

0424200210 dmespiritu www.dmespiritu.com

Sextopia explores notions of self – identity, sexuality, body and pleasure. It is an intangible, fantastical world that resides purely in the space between oneself and world, a liminal space that can never truly be reached.

The proposal was born of the hierarchies of identities found on Goat Island, between colonial and indigenous voice, as well as contemporary consumerist society. Sexuality is postulated as a social construct built as a means of power, whilst built environment and media space have been suggested to further legitimise these social hierarchies. Sextopia has been influenced by various readings primarily a sexual reading of Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland, and José Esteban Muñoz’s notion of ‘queerness’, that is, ‘about the rejection of a here and now, and insistence on potentiality for another world’ (2009).

The space aims to inform and educate individuals about issues of equality throughout history and in the contemporary context, and to inspire new thought for the the future through the exposure to art and culture.

Zeitgeist is fundamentally a think-tank based cultural centre with an ethical and cultural approach to educating individuals about issues of inequality.

Project Energise aims to create a connection between indoors and outdoors through human interaction. Due to the advance of technology, human lifestyle has changed from being active to overly immobile, leading to people leading virtual lives online, and avoiding physical activity outside.By utilising visual cues and obvious routes, visitors are able to navigate the island and experience every area, simulating the memories of play and going outside as a child and exploring a completely new space. This disconnects visitors from their daily technology-focused lifestyle and allows them to reminisce on their past promoting adventure, play and physical engagement with the site.

Cinema Paradiso We live in a time where cultural ideologies, aspirations and fears are as diverse and dynamic as ever. And yet, our world views are becoming increasingly singular, extreme, and polarised. Our media echochambers feed us personalised, self-affirming realities codified and communicated through film television and the internet that keep us well within the boundaries of our own predispositions.

bgoik_94@hotmail.com 90

0432991218 beegoik www.beategoik.com

How then, can we celebrate diverse and alternative narratives as a shared and connected experience?

How can we represent and interact with the tapestry of urban community in a society where digital media dictates our understanding of society? What if the technologies that currently blind us, could bind us together?

Cinema Paradiso looks to challenge the possibilities of contemporary digital consumption in order to present narratives in the same way that they are written; as overlayed, superimposed, shared, lived and intertwined experiences and stories. The project looks to create a space where the public, filmmakers and content creators can come together to make, discuss and watch film in an environment which promotes, produces and evolves the spectacle of the moving image.

Goat Island’s history presents a narrative of colonial power that disregarded unrecognisable, foreign markers of material culture. Despite this, Indigenous Australians have continually made use of the night sky as a repository for culture; something that could not be attacked by colonisation. Similarly, in the context of contemporary Sydney, with a current lack of diverse after dark activity and associated lock out laws, 00:00 proposes a nocturnal cultural centre. Each principal programmatic space encapsulates notions of the night and states of reflective consciousnesses. The result is a culturally and landscape sensitive civic centre that encourages the individual to reconsider what makes culture valid when we are placed in a realm with its own atmosphere, customs and forms of belonging. To consider the immaterial, what we cannot physically obtain or fully comprehend with all our senses, collectively.

LENS: Island of Culture and Film

dkalamvokis@gmail.com

LENS: AN ISLAND OF CULTURE AND FILM is a place for those seeking to learn about, make and understand aspects of film, whilst concurrently learning about different cultures, practice and custom with the aim of increasing empathy and reducing acts of racism and discrimination. With architectural and interior gestures that allow individuals to understand culture through elements of film and cinema, but also be engulfed in the rich history of Goat Island itself. An architectural strategy of pushing and pulling has been used in conjunction with dedicated screening, and reflective materials in order to enhance the experience for visitors - mimicking the frames and stills of film.Overall, LENS will become a focal point within Sydney; glowing in perfect view from the Harbour for all ages and groups to enjoy, day or night.

Living in an era of decreasing sport participation and declining health patterns, Momentum shines a new light on professional and recreational sport as it becomes a place of light, energy and motivation. Inspired by the movement of kinetic energy, the island consists of multiple layers that interlock and overlap, creating spaces that are dense yet full of life. Momentum aims to create a new sporting movement in today’s declining society, as people of all ages and capabilities gather in one place to interact and integrate as a community. Sport is a key aspect to communal identity and through the introduction of Momentum, Goat Island creates a new social movement where health, well being and diversity is encouraged.

Retreat & Reconnect

Located within Sydney Harbour, Goat Island has an unique shape and was formed by sandstone and vegetations. With time, the transformation of the vegetation on the island has seen a close relationship between the natural elements and architecture develop. Through the process of understanding the historical footprints of Goat Island, the needs and benefits of encouraging interactions between human and the island’s natural environment were raised.

Research suggests that the contemporary urban environment is responsible for significant public health concerns, including poor diet, physical inactivity, alcohol abuse, and water and air pollution. In order to respond to these problems, Retreat & Reconnect is designed as a sport and nutrition education centre.Facilities such as a walking track, Convention Centre, Sport Education Centre, Discussion Forum and Heritage Museum are proposed with the aim to establish interaction with the site to not only acknowledge its natural and cultural heritage, but also encourage a healthy lifestyle.

The basis for developing a Bacteriology Science Research Centre in the midst of Sydney is to fill the gap between science and technology within the Sydney cityscape.

The research centre combines both public and private facilities to offer individuals a centralised location to study bacteriology and other related topics. The general public have access to digital libraries, interactive learning centres, exhibitions and relaxation facilities at the island. Under the one space, professionals and keen learners alike can collaborate and interact to understand bacteriology and how it influences the human body. Overall, the island can be enjoyed as a playful and educational space.

The increased urbanisation of Sydney has seen the clearing of the natural landscape and vegetation across the city. As a result of high density urbanity, mental health issues have seen an increase, particularly for residents in highly populated metropolitan locations.

In response to these impending issues, HEAL is a nature and mental health centre located on Goat Island. The main proposed functions of HEAL include a wellness centre, seed house, organic restaurant, exhibition spaces and a meditation centre. The proposal creates new opportunities for visitors to refamiliarise themselves with the the presence of the natural vegetation in Sydney, whilst also enjoying the relief afforded by immense greenspace away from dense urbanity of Sydney city.

Situated in the culturally diverse and rapidly growing city of Sydney, Connectech emerges from the future demand for sociable public spaces incorporating technology and exploring its varying uses. Local and global concerns of overpopulation and highdensity housing has ultimately resulted in less public space for individuals to use and enjoy. Concurrently, the increased use of smartphone-based technology and social media has seen a new social boundary being rapidly propagated. Growing from this context, Connectech is designed to foster social sustainability through the use of a smartphone application, allowing users to explore, connect, socialise, way-find and earn rewards within the cultural heritage of Goat Island.

We have never been so connected yet disconnected, our technologically-driven world has driven us apart. Goat Island.

Disconnect. Dive In. seeks to offer an escape from our technological society through a blocker; the island offers a disconnected social environment that promotes human engagement through analogue interactions between visitors. The history of Goat Island shapes its revitalisation through the adaptive reuse of original heritage structures and the implementation of new architectural language that contrasts and mirrors these.

Experimental site specific materials have inspired new and adapted architectural forms, creating experiential spaces that heighten the interaction between visitor and site.

It doesn’t matter how far in the past or future, music and art was and forever will be an instrument used to communicate to the audiences.Fuse exhibits the collaboration between music and the arts - where Aboriginal artists create artworks and a contemporary musician interprets the artwork and its meaning, forming a piece of music, vice versa. The audience who experience the artworks and music on display, through the use of technology, can create their own piece of music and artwork from their experience and interpretation respectively.

Placemaking grew out of the placelessness present in Sydney, with the majority of contemporary architecture lacking a sense of identity due to the move towards mass production. To negate this issue, a move towards craftsmanship has been proposed through the revitalisation of Goat Island into Placemaking: Civic Centre for Craftsmanship. The aim behind Placemaking will be to provide more exposure and opportunities to learn, and allow visitors to develop a sense of appreciation for handcrafted items. Promoting the need for uniqueness and exclusivity, the space will consist of crafts making workshops, crafts inspired architectural gestures and patterned materials.

If contemporary culture is replaced with mass-produced mono-culture, what is the role of architecture and design? RAAD - Radical Architecture After Death, aims to explore these notions strategically via parasitic architectural gestures, abrasive materials and details that engage all senses. Creating radical experiences focused on enclosure/ exposure, themes of surveillance, and heavily manipulated circulation paths inspired by mass production, RAAD manipulates the visitor in relation to architectural and cultural archetyping. RAAD proposes that architecture can serve as a new machine for a culture craving radical expressionism and freedom; with interiors at the heart of it.

Soundscape situates Goat Island as a central haven dedicated to the performance of music as well as fostering a thriving hub of exploration and education. Dedicating the island to music and performance, Soundscape aims to invigorate the once forgotten maritime island and connect creative people to bring to life the otherwise underused island. Using architectural intervention and manipulation of old and existing structures, Goat Island is transformed into centre for music creation and education.

Including musical activities beyond just performance such as broadcasting and recording, the sphere of influence of Soundscape is pushed beyond the shores of Goat Island and reaches others in order to combat the loss of Sydney’s musical centre.

The Source aims to revive Goat Island through a civic journey of exhibition, innovation and discussion. Through human-centric design and phenomenology, the program focuses on sensitised consciousness and enhancing the connection between space and the user. The heritage listed buildings that remain illustrate the layered narrative that has taken place on the site. Fragility and structure is celebrated through the new architectural insertions with a form that embodies the dialogue between site, structure and the visitor. Blurring the boundaries between different domains, the journey places importance on the island as a complete program; connecting separate functions with spaces of pause. Achieving a sense of here and now, every detail, element and surface has been celebrated and heightened. Utilising natural elements, the built form creates a unique site specific physical and visual forms that provide interaction and enhance the overall experience. The Source fosters an individual narrative as a collective, multidimensional experience.

The purpose of this project is to analyse and critique the rise of ‘mass produced’ cities; in essence, the rise of aesthetically homogeneous cities influenced by the Industrial and Informational revolutions.Goat Island has been used in this project as a platform to explore this critique; positioning itself against the current Conservation Management Plan (CMP) and its aims to preserve and control specific architectural elements of the site. In the same vein, the CMP is structured as a homogenised approach to revitalise sites thereby inhibiting the potential of architectural evolution on Goat Island. This shift in perspective instead focuses on a reimagination of Goat Island in a 21st century context through reconceptualising selected heritage listed buildings on site. Through the subversion of its colonial history and borrowing from non-specific classical forms and details, a unique and specific narrative of Goat Island unfolds and TECHNO TRASH.ED emerges.

The proposal of the introduction of LYFE as a civic centre on Goat Island revolves around the past, the present and the future of our city, our country and our world. LYFE aims to educate visitors on the importance of sustainability through workshops and programs, all hosted within the transformed spaces on the island. The materials used throughout both the internal and the external spaces play an important role in the initial responses from the visitors when entering the island. This is achieved through the substantial use of plants, mainly explored through the main arrival point, greenhouse restaurant and heritage gardens. The lessons to be taught in sustainability continue to be explored through the cradle to cradle process of materials, where old materials are given a new lease on life and are reused somewhere on the island; found mainly in the Ship Repair Workshop turned Swim Centre, and the Heritage Cottages, connected to the Heritage Gardens.

plate 147. plate 147. celebrates ingredients. In the 21st century, the appreciation for good food made from quality sourced, creatively manipulated and precisely extracted ingredients has been slowly lost through food wastage, overconsumption of cheap goods and eating through the lens. Food is a social issue. The production of food has become a social norm that isn’t celebrated and cherished for its complexity and composure that it brings to the table. The human machines behind the plates know and follow ingredients that make sense for the palette - they are mechanical and complex performers that create an experience through the whole process of growing to serving.

In a world of constant technological advances a definitive gap continues to grow between traditional creating and contemporary methods of production. Although technology enables a deeper method of educational development, it can often be polarising as social context and demographic can limit and restrict access. Further to this notion, technology has driven the rise of mass production, inevitably resulting in the substantial decline in hand made goods and crafts.

Flex sets out to bring together a range of individuals, with the intention of an end-to-end creative experience. The Creative Exchange is premised upon access to educational, making and marketing spaces, as well as the culmination of people that share ideas and creative talent.

Reclamation is an Indigenous cultural centre and botanical garden space aimed at raising awareness of limited land availability and adverse the effects of deforestation has on the environment. Reclamation strives to achieve this through exposure to nature via the site and creating an example of future alternative city development. The primary architectural strategy reacts to the existing fabric of the island, with industrial intrusions into what would otherwise be an undisturbed vegetated knoll. Blending harsh geometric forms as a representation of the man-made interwoven with natural elementssimulates a natural ‘reclamation’ of the island.

RE.GEN.ISLE is a civic re-development program for Goat Island aiming to adopt a large scale Australian native flora species re-growth and re-introduction program through typological forms in response to a lack of cultural and Indigenous presence in Sydney’s built environment. This mission has been explored through architecture celebrating horticultural knowledge and benefits surrounding native plant species and the importance this to Sydney’s future. A large macro community garden situated in the centre of Goat Island with below Botanic Centre aims to connect visitors to the lifecycle of native species from seedling, planting, harvesting, consumption.The first point of visitor contact is the Goat Island Herbarium - a walkthrough exhibition space celebrating horticultural fossils, native plants and a synthesis between structure and natural fibre. The site also includes a botanic-centric student community situated on the South aspect of the island, Eco Student Accommodation, and the Student Shell located in heritage gunpowder Magazine.

RE.GEN.ISLE integrates the concept of intertwining native plant species and contemporary society through architectural form, detailing and materials. This has been achieved through macro planning, site and heritage research and in-depth material study. The re-development programs facilitates sustainable, ecofriendly design that aims to replenish the native plant population on Goat Island and cultural recognition in Sydney.

Humans have a fundamental need to connect with other individuals. This is due to our need to explore the world around us, fulfilling our constant curiosity. With the rapid growth of technology, we have globalised as a society.

Globalisation has given us the ability to connect with anyone around the world, with various technologies and transportation. We as a planet have conquered and connected with every continent and country- so what’s next? Technology has now created a Google answers era; with a click of a button we can learn about anything at any time - Space being the anomaly. We now want to connect with other planets and extra-terrestrial life, this idea of being able to connect with more than just our world. It is no secret that humans have always been fascinated with space, and this notion that there is a life form other than ourselves out there. Organisations such as NASA are constantly sending out different missions to space in the hopes of discovering something new or another life form. Research conducted by NASA even states that looking up at space grounds people and increases their curiosity level. In the context of Sydney there is a need for a location which helps facilitate the exploration of space, giving people a place to understand their significance in the world. This island will act as an education centre and research facility for the exploration of outer space. Allowing people to connect with themselves, other people with similar interests, and researches to connect with our universe.

Our exhibition is the pinnacle of our degree. It is a gathering of our unique design community; composed of our student group, alumni, industry and academic leaders and mentors.

‘Future Tense’ continues the annual tradition of a capstone exhibition; promoting the work of our graduands and their achievements. Our process throughout this project is promoted on digital platforms to expose the process of iterating research into design.

We are conscientious innovators of interior spaces: engaged in contemporary social and political issues. Our purpose is to contribute to the discourse on the future contribution of the interior by strengthening our social and global connections. This can be seen in our active engagement with Cambodian NGO: Sa Sa Art Projects.
