Study.Research.Exhibit. architecture as the interface for communities

The site can be viewed as a combination of multiple layers of history, future planning, materiality, shared spaces and social connections. This proposal identifies these characteristics as strengths that can be utilised to drive the architectural response.

One response to this context is to create a place where individuals can engage, learn and build meaningful relationships. But to facilitate tertiary education of the future we must consider the impact of the virtual world on our physical context and how that relates to the broader natural environment.

A vision of future tertiary education that does not have an interface problem and allows the architecture to be the medium through which communities connect. The proposal does not target creating an architectural typology of the future, rather it responds to its context and anticipates the capacity for change over time.

Its fundamental program serves the purpose of researching, developing and showcasing technologies that can be integrated in education.

The design responds to the existing typology by creating a civic terrace, publicly accessible and adaptable for various activities. Transition through the building is based on a temporal activity, a definition of entry, threshold and active connection. A platform for connection and exchange of ideas.
