WELCOME This 2007/2008 double issue of Architecture’s Projects Review marks an end and also a new beginning as we make our debut as a School of Architecture in 2009, with Dr John Macarthur as Head of Architecture. UQ has long been recognised nationally for its distinctive character and its design-focused/studio-based pedagogy and the opportunity to form a new school enhances that recognition and reputation into the future. With creativity and design acknowledged as drivers of innovation, the discipline of Architecture finds itself at the forefront of significant change. The formation of the School will best position us to be part of Queensland’s continuing economic and cultural development.

Antony Moulis

In 4th year Design Studios 2007/2008 students had the opportunity to undertake work with Visiting Fellows Alexis Sanal (2007) and Lisa Findley (2008) as well as Ian Clayton on secondment from the University of Tasmania. Their projects were exemplary for the standard of work they produced and also in their engagement with studio as a mode and as a place. There is much in the dynamic of a studio beyond its content and in the challenges posed are great rewards, as the project work collected here shows. In the past two years one of my main roles has been in the restructuring of Architecture into a two-degree Program in line with changes across Australasia. From 2008 the Bachelor of Architectural Design, incorporating the first 3 years of undergraduate study, and a new Professional Master of Architecture, covering the final two years, were introduced. I would like to thank all staff who contributed their time and effort into this process which has assisted us in refining and developing our course offerings and approaches. Three full-time academic staff moved on from UQ in 2007. Richard Hyde and Kathi Holt-Damant have joined University of Sydney and QUT respectively while Anthony Gall returned at his thriving architectural practice in Hungary. We thank each of these staff for their endeavours with us and wish them well for the future. Two full-time academic staff were appointed in 2008, Dr Marci Webster-Mannison and Andrew Wilson. Marci’s expertise is in the area of environmental design and sustainability while Andrew’s areas of interest are architectural design and urban form including 20th century modernism in South-East Queensland. Both Marci and Andrew have extensive professional experience and will teach in the areas of architectural technology and architectural design. I would also like to acknowledge the valuable teaching assistance of Catherine Smith and Richard Moore.

Georgina River basin, Northwest highlands, Barkly Tableland and central deserts. Congratulations also to Paul Memmott for the publication of his authoritative account of Aboriginal Architecture (at least 30 years in the making), also to John Macarthur for the publication of his book on The Picturesque (at least 20 years in the making) and to Andrew Leach for his new book on Manfredo Tafuri. All these successes provide evidence of the continued strong growth and excellence of architectural research at UQ. We also congratulate Architecture students—Jade Myers, who was joint winner of the 2008 COLORBOND Steel Student Biennale Prize and Tian Sheng who was awarded a scholarship to attend the XXIII UIA World Congress, Turin in 2008. As Head of Architecture over the last 4 years I have very much enjoyed working with staff and students in ways many and various. Architectural education is undoubtedly a student-centred discipline and I want to thank all the students for whole-heartedly entering into their education, exhibiting the kind of dedication they will carry with them into the profession. Along with staff I commend their fine efforts on behalf of architecture one more time. All the best to our colleagues in the former School of Geography, Planning and Architecture as they move on to other UQ Faculties and particular thanks to Martin Bell, Head of GPA, for his service to the former School. Special thanks to Merv Gordon for his 22 years of working with and assisting the Architecture students and staff. He will be greatly missed and we wish him all the best in his next venture. Finally thanks to Andrew Wilson, Kay Leaf-Milham, Kali Marnane and Linda Thomson for their effort in the production of this publication.

—ANTONY MOULIS, Head of Architecture

The approval of funding for the refurbishment of the Architectural Studios in the Zelman Cowen Building, due for completion in 2009, is a major development for Architecture that will refocus the pedagogy of Design and supplement the strength of UQ in this regard. As well as this, Elizabeth Musgrave, Douglas Neale, Michael Dickson and Brit Andresen received a number of grants from the Carrick Institute (now ALTC) and the DVCA Fund at UQ, regarding studio learning and curriculum development in design that will be the subject of key design studios in 2008/2009.

John Macarthur and Andrew Leach of the Architecture Theory Criticism History Research Group were successful in achieving an ARC Discovery Grant for 2009 while the group also welcomes two new postdoctoral fellows in Naomi Stead and Deborah Van der Plaat. This provides Architecture with a very strong research platform over the next three years as well as new input into undergraduate and postgraduate teaching for architecture students. The Aboriginal Environments Research Centre, headed by Paul Memmott, has been successful in proposing an Arid Area Field Station at Camooweal in far western Queensland with access to the

RHD POSTER EXHIBITION 2007

RHD POSTER EXHIBITION 2008

The former School of Geography, Planning and Architecture Research Higher Degree (RHD) annual Poster Exhibition provided an opportunity for postgraduate students to showcase their current research. There were approximately 25 outstanding entries. In 2007, Rodger Barnes’ research poster won 2nd prize, while Angela Kreutz and Kelly Greenop’s posters were ranked amongst the top five posters according to the three judges on the panel. The Exhibition demonstrated a high standard and diversity of research being conducted by the RHD students. Shown here is a selection of the posters submitted. Jenine Godwin’s PhD research is titled ‘Delivering Healthy Housing to Aboriginal Communities in Remote North West Queensland’. It aims to study the significant relationships between lifestyle, housing, health and environment, as perceived and experienced by Aboriginal people in Dajarra and Urandangi.

Chris Brisbin’s PhD research titled ‘Unframed Movement: issues in digital media and a history of framed visuality’ explores the way in which imagetechnologies have been historically used to represent ‘space’ within Architecture and Art, relative to both the static and moving viewer. Daniel Rosendahl’s PhD research is titled ‘The Way it Changes: The archaeology of the Sandalwood River, Mornington Island’. It aims to investigate past humanenvironment interactions during periods of fluctuating sea-levels and local landscape formation and stabilisation and is the first systematic archaeological survey of the Wellesley Islands providing evidence of continuous occupation for the past 2500 years.

Rodger Barnes’ MPhil research titled ‘Implementation and Outcomes of the Granites Mining Agreement with Aboriginal People’ aims to explore the key factors affecting the outcomes of exploration and mining agreements between Aboriginal people and the Granites gold mine in the Northern Territory. 12 PROJECTS REVIEW 2007-2008

Angela Kreutz’s PhD research is titled ‘Children’s Spaces and Places within the Aboriginal Community of Cherbourg’. It aims to explore and identify the needs and aspirations of children which are unmet by existing planning and design considerations within the community. EVENTS 13

ARCHITECTURE BALL 2007

ARCHITECTURE BALL 2008

The theme of the 2007 Architecture Ball was ‘Surreal: transcend the ordinary’ and was held at an existing warehouse in Helen Street, Newstead, on Friday 21st September. Thanks to George Dick for the construction of props used at the Ball and to the 2nd year organisers.

Organised by 2nd year students, the theme of the 2008 Architecture Ball was ‘Ba-Rock My World’ and took place on Friday, 26 September.

TORINO CONFERENCE SCHOLARSHIP REPORT I was exceptionally lucky to be given the opportunity to attend the XXIII UIA World Congress from the 29th June to 3rd July 2008. The UIA has been holding world congresses every 3 years since 1948 in all 5 continents and this is the first year it took place in Italy, the very land of architecture. The city chosen was Turin, a beautiful historic and industrial capital, designed by great architects. This special event was attended by over 10,000 architects from 130 countries, among them 40% were students, making it the largest conference ever held. 600 speakers brought their innovative experiences related to the theme “Transmitting Architecture”, addressing topics such as sustainability, cultural diversity and globalization.

One of my favourite events was “Architecture is for everyone”, held at the Piazza San Carlo, on the third night of the conference. A stage was set on the historical square and everyone was welcome to attend. The vast square felt small with the crowd, as people sat, stood and eagerly watched the heated discussion. I was delighted to be in such an extraordinary venue, even though it was all spoken in Italian with no subtitles so some guessing was required except for the occasional familiar words. However, I was able to understand a protest by locals in the midst of the discussion, when a little girl in a tower costume walked on to the stage and protested against the new developments that were breaking the traditional law of not exceeding the height of the city’s tallest tower and symbol, the Mole. It certainly challenged the architects and added a touch of humour to the event.

XXIII UIA World Congress

Piazza San Carlo, Turin

Day one of the conference was for registration, I was amazed by the number of people present in the vast venue. There were architects and students of all nationalities and ages, each wearing a colour coded name tag (I was told to look out for the blue ones, because they indicated a well established architect). Walking on the street I was amused how the quiet city was over-taken by lost-looking architects, congesting public transport and shops. Days two to four of the conference were dedicated to a topic each day—culture, democracy and hope—all interesting and worth attending. Prominent figures like Kengo Kuma, Massimiliano Fuksas, Peter Eisenman, Dominique Perrault and Terunobu Fujimori spoke in the Palevela, a stadium designed by Renzo Piano that could accommodate 6500 people. Meanwhile, workshops, presentations, award ceremonies, exhibitions and short films were taking place in the vast Lingotto, a restored industrial building that was used for the 2006 Winter Olympics. Other events such as tours of the city’s most significant theatres were also options for those who did not stay indoors. I stayed in the Palevela, took occasional breaks to the Lingotto and saw exhibitions of the proposed projects for Turin’s future urban structure, such as a new railway station designed by Zaha Hadid, large skyscrapers by Richard Rogers and other exciting schemes. I was in awe of the displays and truly overwhelmed by the amount of information there was to absorb. In the Palevela, the architects talked about their built and unbuilt works and it was interesting to see how people from different ethnic backgrounds dealt with issues of sustainability and globalization. Their viewpoints were influenced by their culture, environment and generation. They proposed unique views and theories, some conventional, others extravagant, such as complete dismissal of computer technology, contradicted by another proposal to make the buildings into hi-tech, fume-sucking organisms, others suggested to never build again, while one aimed to make his architecture disappear. I was fascinated by the broad range of ideas and topics and pleased that every speaker had an equal opportunity to share their thoughts with the rest of the world. 18 PROJECTS REVIEW 2007-2008

On the last day, one of the most touching speeches was given by the Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohammad Unus, whose words brought me to tears. I was amazed how little is needed to make a difference and this applies to architecture too. Without being extravagant, smaller buildings can make a significant difference in the lives of people. Architecture is not merely about being splendid, but being practical and economical. Giving hope to the people, addressing the local culture, and demonstrating democracy. This conference was a perfect opportunity for professionals to meet and reflect the new and changing role of the architect and to discuss issues common to their profession. I believe it achieved its aim of transmitting the power of architecture to the world through the attendants to make a difference everywhere. After spending five days among a sea of architects and students of all cultures and nationalities and listening to some truly inspiring people, my friend and I have already decided to meet in three years time in Tokyo, the next host city for the XXIV UIA World Congress, to experience another enlightening event. I spent the rest of my time in Italy, journeyed through Milan, Venice, Florence and finally Rome, where I visited countless magnificent and breathtaking architectural masterpieces, experienced true Italian culture and indulged in some of the best pasta and pizza. Of course, there are hardly any gelato flavours I have not yet tried and being a tea drinker, I even took up the addiction of coffee, having had so many breakfasts-on-the-go, with a cup of espresso and a marmalade croissant, standing at a bar with the locals in the busy hours of the morning. I made friends from all over the world while staying at youth hostels and am definitely returning to Europe. Thank you SONA and Woodhead for this life-changing opportunity, my first trip to Europe is an experience I shall never forget.

Architecture Design Studio 20 PROJECTS REVIEW 2007-2008

1ST YEAR 21

1ST YEAR 2007: BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE

Semester 1 aimed to provide students with a basic knowledge of architectural issues, an understanding of the design process and a range of skills appropriate to the design of small scale, organisationally simple, timber-framed buildings, set in a landscape context. Architectural concepts, processes and skills were taught through design projects that introduced basic processes of visual perception and response, spatial recording, problem analysis, creative enquiry, solution synthesis and appraisal and architectural communication through drawings and models. Studio participation, peer discussion and group interaction were central to the studio learning process. Project 1 of Semester 2 explored the expressive potential of materials and construction in the absence of a dominant functional program. An international student competition titled “Tectonics” organised by the Eindhoven University formed part of the framework for the project. Constraints set by the project were constructed to enable the projects to conform with the ambitions and presentation requirements of the student competition. Project 2 aimed to integrate learning from the entire first year in a project that had a reasonable level of functional difficulty and required expressions of tectonic prowess and empathy for the users. The project aimed to develop skills of strategic thinking, the ability to extract and capitalise on latent potential of a program, space making, architectural material, form and construction and empathy. This consolidated and drew upon skills developed over the year.

Project 1: A natural setting for a cultural artefact The first project was to design an exhibit for an artefact in a landscape. The project required students to consider how the artefact is affected by their experience of it and the context in which it exists. Students were required to analyse the qualities and requirement presented by an artefact and a landscape; generate and develop ideas for exhibiting the artefact in a landscape; resolve how the exhibit physically works and model the experience of artefact exhibited in the landscape. The project served to introduce students to elements of the design process. Project 2: A Brisbane office for an international architect The second project was to design a Brisbane office for an international architect. The project was intended to introduce students to particular issues, aspects of the design process and specific skills. There was no real site or detailed brief to follow. Students were assigned an existing house by a significant 20th century architect and required to visit the office of a Brisbane architectural practice. The house served as a spatial precedent. The office served as a functional precedent. Everything had to occur within the interior of an abstract cube: 6m x 6m x 6m. The constraint was a deliberate attempt to focus student’s attention on the internal spatial relations of their design, and not on the external form of the building.

Project 3: A private library set in a public place The third project involved the design of a private library in a parkland setting. This project enabled students to engage in a more elaborate design process and deal with a broad range of issues. In addition to those issues raised in the first two projects (project 1: experience and context; project 2: space and function), this project required students to incorporate the following: climate and environment, form and typology, materials and structure. In this sense the third project gave students a taste of designing a “real” building.

Project 1 Project 1 explored the expressive potential of materials and construction in the absence of a dominant functional program. An international student competition titled “Tectonics” organised by the Eindhoven University formed part of the framework for the project. The student competition aimed to explore ideas associated with tectonics at a variety of scales from 1:1 up to 1:1000. The exploration of tectonics was focused around a series of key words which formed the theme of the tectonics exploration. The key words were as follows: Arrogance, Concentration, Confidence, Elegance, Mysticism, Being overwhelmed, Relaxation, Respect, Risk, Struggle. The premise for the final phase of the project was to create a retreat for one person. In our busy lifestyle, the luxury for time to reflect upon your current situation and to reflect upon an unfamiliar place is becoming a new luxury. Our hypothetical situation was a rural pastoral setting with a land title large enough to ensure people staying did not have to be close to other guests unless they wanted to be. The slightly eccentric patron who wanted to create accommodation for these independent travellers had an idea to create a series of small pods or towers, each being distinctly different and each being almost sculptural objects or follies in the landscape. The brief was simple so as to open the expressive possibilities for the construction of the follies. The follies needed to provide the traveller with the following amenities: A place to sleep, a place to read, a place to store a backpack and possessions, a place to bathe—shower or bath and WC, a place to store a precious object/s. Project 2 Project 2 aimed to integrate learning from the entire first year in a project that had a reasonable level of functional difficulty and required expressions of tectonic prowess and empathy for the users.

Demand for child care has been increasing steadily in Australia. Even though the growth in supply of child care provision has almost matched demand, there are still circumstances for quality and nurtured child care. The academic and general staff cohort at The University of Queensland seems to be steadily growing and as a consequence there is a need to increase the provision of child care on campus. The process was broken into two stages. The first stage looked at strategic ideas, form, material and construction. The project kicked off with an intensive launch pad session run over two days. The second stage looked at detailed aspects of the brief and in particular the design of the “playscape” and the relationship between inside and outside. Although our hypothetical clients were children, they should be treated with the utmost respect and seriousness so we can empathise with their needs as they express them and interpret from pedagogic theories and advice from operators. The second phase of the process was critiqued at the end of the semester. 1

The ARCH2100 studio assumed the position that architecture has the potential to engage the fundamental human condition of “dwelling” in the world through a strategy of building that mediates and reveals the poetic possibilities of landscape. The course contained expansive and exploratory exercises in combination with brief based problems that attempted to expand students’ repertoire and explore other modes of idea generation and design. There were two major projects that were linked by a common interpretation of landscape and dwelling. The landscape was the same throughout the semester with the projects addressing a deeper engagement with landscape both in the sense of essences and mapping. The projects were interrelated, however their emphasis, functional complexity and level of resolution was varied. The intention was to both develop a deeper familiarity with working in a landscape as well as understanding the process of observation, poetic interpretation and idea development through scales which involved returning to earlier ideas and revising them in the light of developed thinking.

Second semester’s project work encouraged students to develop processes for imagining space and for developing ideas about space and spatial experience. An emphasis was placed on the role of material fabric as the means for ordering spatial experience and for delivering character and expression. Structure and material fabric was to be considered as integral to the speculative activity of design and essential to the experiential and poetic aspects of architecture, rather than as something attended to after programmatic demands are satisfied.

The semester’s investigations were located in an existing warehouse in Helen Street, Newstead—the site of the 2007 Architecture Ball—and involved three separate, but related components of work.

Project 1: In(side)out: Public rooms Project 1 involved accommodating a foundation of an existing warehouse structure in Newstead. The program for the foundation, dedicated to supporting local Brisbane writers, included a library, an open ‘public’ office, coffee shop and second hand bookshop. Project work progressed through a set of exploratory tasks intended to open up and develop ideas about the sensuous occupation of space. Students worked with role-play and path configuration, and with issues such as the ordering of public and private territories, address and entry, the interface between back of house and front of house, served and servant space and the role of building elements in the ordering of territory. Project 2: Openings: Edges, frames and ledges The second project asked students to extend ideas and themes, explored in project 1 to the design of a single element—an opening. Issues to be considered included how an opening orders relationships between inside and outside, public and private; how it filters or controls light, air, wind and views into and out of spaces. Detailed resolution involved negotiating problems of construction, weathering and enclosure with a set of design intentions declared in project 1. Students also considered the relationship between their detail and the expression of their architectural proposition. The detail resolution of an opening provided an opportunity to articulate ideas at a different scale and required students to be open to further processes of abstraction and transformation.

Project 3: In(side)out: Private rooms The final project for this semester sought proposals for a small residential complex for visiting scholars working with the foundation, on sites adjacent to project 1. The design of units on a tight site brought specific constraints, particularly with respect to problems of planning for light, ventilation, views and privacy. Students sought opportunities within these constraints for making inhabitable places for living in a warehouse precinct. The range of strategies and ideas for making place memorable were enriched through spatial, formal and material links with project 1.

3RD YEAR 2007: BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE

In Semester 1 2007, the 3rd year Architectural Design Studio investigated the role urban structure plays in facilitating a building’s connection of its interior, private realm to the public realm. The course made up of group and individual components was conducted in the Studio and supported by field studies, charettes and lectures. The semester began with a range of research and analytic exercises looking at building types and precedents including making, in groups, 1:100 scale models of internationally significant public housing projects. A ‘seam’ through the inner Brisbane suburbs of Dutton Park and Woolloongabba formed by Annerley Road from Stanley Street to Gair Park constituted the semester’s study area and provided the locus for groupbased analyses and planning game strategies applying development controls and density measures to form an understanding of place and the problems of character and precinct identification. These exploratory exercises built skills and provided a context for the major project: a design proposal for a complex combination of a research institution with public facilities and medium density housing. In Semester 2, students explored the design of a medium-sized university building, associated external areas and landscape. During the semester there was a single design project, encompassing the various stages of an architectural project from brief development and typological analysis tested in explorations and evaluations of alternative master plans, through sketch and scheme design to detailed explorations of key parts of the building in a final design submission.

Exercise A: Model housing Working to a very compressed timeframe and in groups of roughly four, students were asked to research, analyse and re-present in model form at 1:100, several noted housing precedents from a prescribed list. The iterative task of physically modelling the precedent subject took the exercise out of the narrow frame of research and introduced a design practice. It also enabled students to critically evaluate and compare the scale and context of their precedent study with those of their colleagues. Exercise B: Planning game In group workshops, students researched, analysed and identified an understanding of street and lot structure by applying development controls such as set backs, plot ratio, GFA, building density, height limitations and the constraints of building type and construction to nominated sites within the study area. The exercise tested and revealed the formal limits of urban analysis, the ‘rules’ of development and allowed students to build a ‘theoretical’ building volume based on the measurements of density. Exercise C: Design charette: Mask This intensive one-day design exercise explored concepts of interstitial or transactional space and tested judgements and assumptions inherent in the Planning Game by incorporating architectural constraints within a development-oriented solution.

Design project: Mask +: Photography institute + housing This seven week project drew on the outcomes of the Studio exercises in providing students with an understanding of place and building character applied to a medium scale urban project with complex programmatic constraints. After completing a group-based character study of the enclave, students prepared schematic designs for a Photography Graduate School, Archive and Gallery on a 2,000m2 site within the study area. The balance of the GFA, determined from the earlier exercises, allowed for the provision of a low income or student oriented residential project to be included in the overall developed design.

The 2007 Design Studio explored the design of a medium-sized university building, associated external areas and landscape. During the semester there was a single design project, encompassing the various stages of an architectural project from brief development and typological analysis tested in explorations and evaluations of alternative master plans, through sketch and scheme design to detailed explorations of key parts of the building in a final design submission. Students demonstrated an ability to analyse and resolve relatively complex briefing demands and integrate these into realistic design strategies. Evidence of research leading to a critical understanding of precedents for the chosen building type was expected. Students were required to be explicit about the strategies and ideas they had deployed in the development and refinement of their designs, along with explaining how they reconciled typological and formal issues with structural, constructional and environmental considerations. Students were expected to demonstrate sensitivity to context, landscape and the integration of existing buildings into their proposals. Environmental design issues were expected to illuminate arguments for chosen design strategies. The design project was supported by work required for Technology and a joint presentation of work undertaken in ARCH3200 Architectural Design and ARCH3220 Architectural Technology took place in week 9. 2

2007: 4TH YEAR BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE

The 2007 Semester 1 course was the last in a series of three courses that centred on speculations about future architecture and urban design within the peri-urban landscape. The projects included research and exploration for design and planning opportunities at the threshold between urban and rural realms based at Gatton Campus. The program also proposed that the campus core, the oldest rural campus in the State, might be conceived as a miniature city for the purposes of proposing ideas for innovative future development. Similarly, as the centralized campus research and teaching core is surrounded by agricultural territory, bush land and wilderness, it not only represents a miniature of our region’s settlement—but invites speculation on ideas, through planning and design, for urgent issues facing the environment of fast expanding South East Queensland. In addition to the course the 4th year student groups participated and contributed to the following events: — — — —

Project 1: Sunset screenworks—intervention in three parts The project included the making of a place in the rural landscape for an occasional feast to celebrate food biodiversity, gastronomic traditions and sustainable agriculture; the place of a temporary encampment. The focus was on discovering and revealing through design; the characteristics and qualities of the landscape, particularly light and shadow, the potency of reconciling oppositions, the synthesis of the poetic and pragmatic at the threshold and extending ‘the ladder of relations’ between people and their location in the landscape through the making of architecture.

Project 2: Campus futures—Gatton campus urban design and planning The project invited speculation through research, analysis and design for a future campus model that challenges or supports the relationship between people (society, culture, education etc), architecture (materials, construction, space etc) and the landscape (natural environment, ecology etc). Rural and urban environments are to be more intensely managed and settled in the future to support growing populations and expanding rural industry. A radical increase in land use and densities requires new focus on ideals, strategies and tactics and their development through planning and design to assess consequences and propose new directions.

Project 3: Hybrid futures—centres for rural and regional research The third project involved the re-formulation of the planning proposition for the future campus model and a reciprocal architectural proposition for a future building. The architectural project to design the headquarters building for the future expanded Centre of Rural and Regional Innovation (CRRI-Q) was to include ideas for extending the ‘ladder of relations’ in the landscape and amplifying the values of the campus collective. The architectural project invited concepts that might extend and deepen the qualities anticipated in the campus proposition.

In Semester 2 students worked on two projects separately convened by Ian Clayton (University of Tasmania) and Alexis Sanal (SGPA Visiting Fellow, Sanal Mimarlik); a microbrewery and hotel project located in South Brisbane and a place of exchange for students and staff integrated within the UQ St Lucia Campus. Both projects extended themes addressed in the first semester concerning ‘place relations’ into urban situations. Project 1: Microbrewery and hotel Convenor—Ian Clayton The design challenge was to create an integrated medium scaled commercial development in South Brisbane. The emphasis of the project was the expressive potential of materiality and detail as well as issues of complex spatial arrangement and context. The students enjoyed site visits to local microbreweries, which included Rudi’s expert description of the brewing process downstairs at the Regatta.

Project 2: A place of exchange Convenor—Alexis Sanal Through an intensive four week project students worked in groups to uncover the potentiality of new technologies in framing places of interaction and exchange on the UQ St Lucia Campus. The studio was undertaken in a process-based mode with the synthesis of analytical observations and knowledge providing a means to generate compelling places through design. The dimension of the design process included focus on technology and figurality, site and context, and expression and coherence in relation to place.

SQUAD007: Southeast Queensland Urban Architecture Design Semester 1 In their final year, students were given an opportunity to pursue a major architecture and urban design project over two semesters. Under the banner SQUAD007, students were challenged to identify precincts in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast that were undergoing rapid change and offered an opportunity to investigate fresh ideas for improved public transport options, higher residential densities, and new building types. Semester 2 After a phase of urban analysis, propositions were sought that involved significant components of housing as well as public and commercial architecture and significant external public space. Students were challenged to project innovative ideas for an uncertain future that would include continuing rapid technological change, social and demographic change and increasingly pressing environmental change. The program enabled students to project an overall proposition in semester 1 and then to revisit the project in semester 2 to develop the scheme to a higher level of design and technical resolution and to compellingly present the project to the profession and the broader public.

1ST YEAR 2008: BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Hard work and comradeship...the daunting task of architecture begins and the focus is on developing some core skills in combination with developing a culture of energetic and friendly debate; sharing ideas, solving problems and asking a mate to help and getting a sense of what this whole architecture thing is all about. Semester 1 was broken into three projects that addressed learning focussed on abstraction, working with landscape and context, making things, testing things and recognising the gap between intention and reality. The projects that focused these ambitions were titled: — Beacons — Shelters — Platforms, Peninsulas and Parasols Two highlights of the semester were the field trip and testing of our flat packed emergency shelters as well as the public exhibition of the first project work titled “Beacons from Invisible Cities”. Though the range of activities was broad and the effort at times exhausting, there was a definite buzz in the studio and this enthusiasm inevitably spilled over into the work which was approached with a great level of gusto. Semester 2 was characterised by two projects that were played out through a series of stages and exercises. The main characteristic of the semester was the focus on the one project type and user: young children and the design of a child care centre. The semester was cast through two projects:

— A world for children — A place for children The first stage: A world for children, involved the collaborative design of a playscape for Campus Kindy, one for their younger pre-kindy children and the other for their older explorers or kindy kids. The second project; a place for children, involved the design of a child care centre for UQ based on the Campus Kindy philosophy and structure, though located at UQ’s Ipswich campus. 1

A special thanks to Michael Cannon for his generous assistance and advice that made project 2 a success.

Project 1: Beacons from invisible cities The aims of the first project were focussed around abstraction and the reiterative nature of the design process. The project was staged over four weeks with a series of intensive in studio exercises run over weekly cycles which ultimately came together through a public exhibition staged in the Paddington substation (now the Kiln gallery). The project was worked both in groups and individually developing the culture of the studio. Though the exercise was intended to act as a parachute or ice breaker into the course, the aims were bound up in the complicated nature of abstracting ideas, verbalised and written, that are often charged with partially resolved illusions and emotions, and translating them into form and experience. The character of the exercise was to also shake out the expectation that architecture is only about designing buildings and to encourage a broader thinking about the fabric and experience of architecture. Project 2: Flat packed emergency shelters The brief was to design and construct a shelter using 10 sheets of 7 mm thick corrugated card measuring 2200 x 1200 mm for each sheet. The shelter had to accommodate three adults and have a life span of two weeks. The shelters were all prefabricated and delivered flat-packed to site with assembly using zip ties and rope being allowed. No waterproof fly was permitted however the cardboard could be coated. 2

Project 3: Platforms, parasols and peninsulas The final project started where the shelters project finished. Though a key intention of the field trip to North Stradbroke Island was to test the shelters, it was also the location for the final project which asked the students to design a whale watching platform, rangers station and new public toilet. Though a challenging first year project, the initial panic died down once the problem was broken down and addressed through varying scales. The experience of being in contact with the site over a 48-hour period was helpful as although the field trip was a good opportunity to have fun, the essence of the island was always present.

Project 1: A world for children Design and construction of a playscape for Campus Kindy The first project leading out the semester was an exercise in uber collaboration and shared values. The aim of the project was to develop collaborative design skills, develop a greater awareness and sense of a particular use and resolve a series of intentions to a high level of resolution. Though the initial intention was to construct the playscape during the semester, the complexity of the redesign process during client consultation pushed the construction phase further into the year and became a voluntary extension to the learning of the semester. The project was simple: to design two playscapes (playgrounds + landscapes) for kids aged 2.5 to 3.5 (pre kindy) and children 3.5 to 5 (kindy). The student cohort was divided roughly in two, with half the studio working on one playscape and the other half on the other. Each component was designed in groups of five with each member assigned a specific role. Project 2: A place for children Design of a child care centre for UQ’s Ipswich campus The culmination of the year’s work focussed on the design of a child care centre based around the structure and governing philosophy of Campus Kindy. The project was set at the UQ’s Ipswich campus as there was a need for a child care centre servicing the satellite campus.

2ND YEAR 2008: BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

In Semester 1 2008, the 2nd year Architectural Design Studio was very fortunate to be led by the Queensland artist-architect, Graham Davis. The projects Graham set for the Studio emphasised inventiveness with respect to interpreting context, the making of enclosures and the making of place through strategies of building design that mediates and reveal the poetic possibilities of landscape. There were two projects linked by a common interpretation of landscape and dwelling. Studies in the first focussed on expansive and exploratory exercises developing an understanding of the processes of observation, poetic interpretation and idea development through phases, which involved returning to and revising earlier ideas in the light of developed thinking. The second project, set in the rural landscape of the border ranges began with a field trip to Boonah. It gave students the opportunity to apply the skills developed in the first project and to foster a deeper familiarity with the relation of building and landscape by designing a small group of dwellings of appropriate construction, brief based problems and climatic response. Besides field studies on and off campus the course was supported by charettes, lectures and studio teaching activities. Students were also introduced to computer-aided design modelling as part of the integration of architectural communications and technology. In Semester 2 students undertook three projects analysing and exploring opportunities for ‘left-over’ spaces within the city. Each project began with conceptual analysis of the design problem and rigorous site analysis.

The projects gave particular emphasis to reclaiming spaces associated with the automobile. Students were given the opportunity to explore these ideas over various scales and contexts, ranging from 1:1 through to proposals on the urban scale. Students were given the opportunity to test the viability and success of their design ideas through the construction of a project at real scale as part of an international event.

Project 1: Buildings and landscape The focus of this project was an examination of architectural form directed by poetic and experiential characteristics of landscape. It was developed through four carefully planned experimental phases of documenting, abstracting and tuning a small self-selected ‘natural’ setting on the campus. Students were given an opportunity to explore at the outset a judged response to the questions raised through reflection on their own work. The iterative task of recording and responding to the inherent qualities of a landscape helped build and tune critical judgement. Project 2: Artist-in-residence centre This project developed and extended learning initiated from Project 1 into an investigation of landscape perception, analysis abstraction and response. The design project for a group of structures was staged over three phases: a preliminary charette; site visit and analysis and finally followed by a proposal for a small artists’ colony accommodating a complex array of programmatic requirements. The project aimed to allow students to learn from an understanding of place and landscape and to explore constraints aligned to concepts of dwelling and the creation of environments conducive to creative artistic activity.

Project 1: PARK(ing) Day, 19th September 2008 PARK(ing) Day began in San Francisco in 2005 when a collaborative group of artists and activists (REBAR) temporarily converted a parking space into a park in protest about the lack of public spaces in their city. PARK(ing) Day has subsequently become a global event celebrated in cities including London and Rio de Janeiro, and in 2008, Brisbane. Students worked in groups to design and construct projects for PARK(ing) Day, temporarily converting 19 parking bays on the UQ St Lucia Campus into temporary parks. Students considered the nature of public space in addition to the impact of the private automobile in the city. A public ‘Tour de PARKs’ was organised by members of the UQ environmental collective that began at UQ and then toured other sites throughout Brisbane. Project 2: UQ research centre Students were asked to design an interdisciplinary research centre to house a professor, a research assistant and a number of postdoctoral fellows and postgraduate students. The centre was to be located within a tightly constrained urban, social and historical context on The University of Queensland St Lucia Campus. Schemes linked into the existing fire stairs of one of four different buildings. Students worked in groups to undertake an intensive and comprehensive analysis of their site, including a set of measured drawings. The building footprint for the research centre could not exceed the size of four standard parking bays.

Project 3: The habitable bridge Project 3 offered another opportunity to ‘reclaim’ space associated with the automobile, this time on an urban scale. Students developed a proposal to convert an existing bridge in Brisbane into a habitable bridge. Students developed their own program for commercial, cultural and residential architecture on (or in some cases under) the bridge, designing an urban strategy as well as further developing a number of key spaces. This project called for the bridge to be converted from a place of transition to a destination. Urban studies were undertaken to investigate ways of uniting the riverbanks through their architectural program.

In Semester 1, 3rd year students focussed on architecture’s interrelationship with the city, urban densities and building typology through an investigation into the suburb of New Farm. The main project for the semester involved the design of a mixed use building incorporating detached and multi-residential housing types. In Semester 2, students designed a major university building on the St Lucia campus. The whole semester project began with master planning, precedent studies and explorations of alternative strategies taking into account the optimisation of land use. Strong emphasis was placed on designing for passive climatic responsiveness. Solutions and ideas were developed through several stages culminating in a final design supported by a report. Issues of site and context, the valuing of external space, flexibility in design and adaptive reuse were debated and reconciled with ideas of how to translate these concerns into architecture.

The Semester 1 course is the first in a series of three that centres on speculations about future architecture and urban design within the landscapes of Brisbane’s waterways. The forecast doubling of the population in Brisbane within the next twenty years also heralds change for the physical environment of the city and its neighbourhoods. The challenge of planning for growth will be intensified by adapting to pressure on resources including open space, fresh food, water and fuels that may require rethinking mobility, transportation, proximity to services central to planning and designing future human settlements. The city neighbourhood presents an opportunity to explore Bohigas’ urban methodology as an alternative to the current local authority planning. With ongoing population growth and increasing demands not only for housing but also for more open space and public services comes the pressure on other resources and most essentially food and drinking water. Simultaneously, increases in temperature and flooding from higher sea levels are reportedly the result of both natural climate cycles together with human degradation of the environment; factors that will also contribute more severe weather patterns. It is against this complex background that the 2008 course is introduced.

Project 1: Sedimentary city The project invited urban and architectural design propositions for the next layer of Sedimentary City. The process included drawing significant city elements and public spaces from previous layers of the city, and in particular the landscape of the ‘First City’ (Myers 2000:80), to register these in the future city. Selected landscape elements, ‘land-marks’ and public spaces found in the environment, culture and technology of the city were drawn into the planning and design of the future neighbourhood. Propositions, at the scale of the neighbourhood, identified qualities and places of ‘tension’ that might promote chance and exchange as potential locations for future public spaces.

Part One: Urban design In constructing an inventory of critical elements for the future Sedimentary City, through the process of analysis and overlaying historical maps, the creeks, outlets and watershed of the ‘First City’ were drawn into consideration. Central to the proposition for consolidated public open space was the ‘daylighting’ of Kurilpa Creek and clearing of adjacent watershed land along its entire length to formed linear parklands.

Part Two: Building design The Kurilpa landscape, adjacent to the Brisbane River’s west bank along Montague Road, was a fertile place and once an abundant food source. Midway in the Kurilpa landscape and at the end of Vulture Street a site was appropriated adjacent to Davies Park as a key location for a future public place incorporating a Water and Food Exchange, Sedimentary City Research Centre and ‘micro-housing’. Vulture Street, with its potential to form a civic ‘spine’, linking the former South Brisbane Town Hall with the Davies Park at the Brisbane River, is crossed by streets such as Boundary Street and Montague Road that further connect this proposed public space to adjacent river pockets and the greater city region.

Project 2: Layer five To complete the context for the Water and Food Exchange the street intersections opposite Davies Park at Vulture and Jane Streets were developed through three design charettes. The project was for fourstorey mixed use buildings along Montague Road with commercial or other non-residential uses at ground floor level and residential above. Charette One involved the design, at 1:20 scale, of a partial section through the building’s threshold and its membranes between inside and outside. This was followed by Charettes Two and Three for the design of a mid-level apartment plan and a section through the stairwell between apartments. The process of design was conceived as a reiterative layering of sections and plans at 1:20 scale and included site plans and three-dimensional resolution to demonstrate their larger context.

2008: 5TH YEAR BARCH | 2ND YEAR MARCH

The final year of study comprised of projects devised to provide a common study framework for a self-directed project to be developed over both semesters. Students were asked to take a polemical view about the nature of the way they worked as architects and reflect on their own personal design position with respect to contemporary issues impacting on city form and density and through research of appropriate precedent studies develop an urban project that accommodated and critiqued the SEQ2030 model of limiting medium to high density around transport hubs. The urban project was to propose a plan for the ‘renewed’ city that anticipates linkages between past, present and future conditions. The proposition was to offer a rationale and manifesto in support of the design. A radical increase in density and infrastructure required a new focus on ideals, strategies, tactics and projects—and for architects to take a purposeful position towards making a city. The identification and selection of an urban enclave offered an opportunity to explore propositions for planning and urban design as well as for architecture both in places of the collective, public realm and for the individual. Out of this exercise a rich and diverse array of sites ranging from as far afield as Mackay, Beerwah, Logan and Burleigh Heads along with several inner Brisbane areas were selected for detailed study. From the urban design a suitable site and architectural brief accommodating between 5,000m2 and 15,000m2 of building program was prepared as a potential opportunity to be developed in Semester 2. The architectural project invited designs that amplified and deepened the qualities anticipated in the urban proposition. The emphasis was on creating a ladder of relationships from the scale of landscape through to the smallest interstitial spaces of the city. Project work allowed students to develop fluency in identifying the relation of architecture to its urban setting and through design proposals to investigate how an ‘architecture of interaction’ may, in a catalytic way, ameliorate the stressors of change impinging on our urban environments. The project work was supported by seminars from several local and interstate guests augmenting lectures, workshops, charettes, tutorials, independent research, critiques and site visits. The year concluded with the launch of a publication of the work of the class made possible through the initiatives of the AIA Graduate Program and Cox Rayner Architects and Planners.

THOUGHTS ON A PROCESS-BASED PRACTICE —Alexis Sanal, Sanal Mimarlik Architectural design is influenced by a multitude of factors—and the exploration of these is the essence of our design process and our fascination with architecture. These influences (experiences, education, languages, culture, resources, social interactions, technologies, etc.) continually shape and re-shape our understandings. Our design process is distinct in three primary aspects: (1) our design process is information-centric, (2) we are committed to an open-source approach to design, and (3) we are situated in Istanbul, Turkey. An information-centric process in design looks at the largest possible set of information parameters (client and stakeholder interests, personality, context and program, geology, geography, site and infrastructure, history, community aspirations, stories, aesthetics, etc.) as a whole, and then selects samples and re-embroiders elements into a concept for an architectural work. Imagine looking at the surface pattern of the sea, the defining elements of the image include the currents of the ocean, the reflected sky, the weather, the boat passing, birds feeding on the surface, and the discharge from local industry yet they come together as the harmonic whole.

IN A STUDIO CONTEXT It was in the spirit of our design process that a studio curriculum was developed with Professor Brit Andresen and Dr Antony Moulis for 4th year design students at UQ. The design brief required students to create a series of ‘rooms’ along a land/water axis, at The University of Queensland’s St Lucia campus that would foster multi-disciplinary thought. The design of the land/water axis and its three ‘rooms’ was a collaborative effort in groups of three, while each room and its requisite architectural figures—aperture, bay, and lantern—was an individual effort within the group (Figure 1). The figures were to be designed to enhance the specific needs of the faculties selected for multi-disciplinary exchange. Students explored place-making in terms of sequence, axis as path/visual/metaphor/circulation, the tectonic possibilities of materials and systems, and of their figures as cultural architectural form (Figure 2). The design problem appears familiar enough, but the students were plunged into a non-linear design process involving very subjective decision-making and synthesis of information and it was all compressed within an uncomfortably limited amount of time for action and reflection.

In this process, we value information technologies that are timeless (language, script, pattern, symbols), technologies of civilizations (print, vehicles, routes), the past century’s civil networks (roads/rail/air, telephony, cable), and the twenty first century advent of digitally augmented communication (advanced data storage, ubiquitous access, virtual places). These technologies shape the spatial qualities of the settlements in which people live and influence the cultural expressions and pluralism of the places people create. These technologies are only in service to the content people generate to be disseminated, collected, shared and transformed. We pursue an open-source design approach to urban design and architecture. This approach goes beyond engaging people with artifacts created by technology, it strives to give them opportunities to shape the content and program its uses—including all members of the design team. We believe that this open source approach strengthens long-term relationships and a sense of ownership of a place by expressing the evolving history and culture of the people who created it. One of the exciting aspects of this approach is that it welcomes serendipity—the unexpected and fortunate discovery through new interpretation and information coming together in new ways. This openness is of critical importance in our creative process; it refreshes the mind, challenges assumptions, makes new connections, identifies potential new knowledge sources and reveals unique prospects. The third factor distinguishing our process and practice is the profound effect of being located in Istanbul. This is in both liberating and maddening. In the context of working in the city, serendipity arrives in destructive yet delightfully idiosyncratic ways: information stinginess, arbitrary structures, resource limitations, convoluted bureaucracy, idea-recycling, technology innovation, multi-disciplinary problem solving and collaborative solutions—always in extremes and at especially inappropriate moments. These challenges to our process made our firm, early on, confront the fundamentals of our design ethics, our decision-making frameworks and our judgment as professionals. And yet, Istanbul is a city whose extraordinary beauty transcends description and is a source of great inspiration.

The studio began with consideration of a series of writings on advanced technology seemingly unrelated to architectural design. These articles provided a point of departure for designing a bay, a lantern or an aperture. Immediately, questions arose about the design problem: What is the relationship between a technology article and an architectural figure? Is that relationship functional, logical, conceptual, or metaphoric? How can a physical model represent both the design proposition and the technology essay? This exercise was then put aside and, with the same urgency, each student had to identify two departments at UQ for multi-disciplinary thinking. Meanwhile, as groups of three, they were asked to create a design concept for the formal element of a land/water axis. Would the original essay inspire their group selection or influence their thoughts as to the character of an axis on the UQ campus? Would it provide insight to new possibilities in multi-disciplinary design or would they start blank with the immediate design problem? The role of judgment, authenticity, creativity, recycling, borrowing, referencing and editing arose as central ethical questions in the design process. The students had a fair number of suspicions, not the least of which was the high value we gave to their subjective, ethical and intuitive decisions, and especially to the unpredictability of the process.

The variety of design propositions varied greatly from being surgical in its context, to overtly bold as a symbol, to theatrical in the campus setting, to so strangely appropriate in the landscape that one couldn’t help wonder why UQ did not immediately build it over the summer break. (Figures 3, 4 and 5.) ESSAY 85

IN A PRACTICE CONTEXT

Students in a studio context rarely understand their design propositions through into the making-a-place phase. Yet, in many architectural projects and in most parts of the world, the solution of the formal proposition is continually reshaped during later phases—and then further changed after years of occupation. The influences in these later phases of reshaping the design proposition often come with an eminent threat to erode the integrity of the architectural design concept. Our practice sees this later phase of transformation as having an influence on the formal solution of the design concept comparable to the original design proposition phase, and we prefer to embrace these influences in the opensource aspect of the design process (the exception of course being outright sabotage). The information-centric aspect of the design process becomes essential to developing a project’s design concept so that all persons can access and subscribe to its principles, parameters and performance criteria. The questions that arise in this process challenge the notion that architectural design is linear, cumulative, and determined by the ‘designer’. Can the realised ‘place’ be unrecognisable from the design proposition made prior to the execution phase? What role does project specificity and the phenomena implicit in a site determine the formal design solution? Or, is the design so inflexible that critical new knowledge, for example something that could significantly reduce environmental impact, is eliminated as being too disruptive to the formal implications? An open-source approach allows for the project’s design concept to grow robust in its integrity, invite a dialogue for critique and be informed by people beyond the design team’s interpretations of the concept.

The Levent Social Club, a recent work finished in 2007, was shaped fully out of this design process. It was the first occasion for the firm to fully challenge its thinking throughout this process. As with the UQ students, we were often uncertain and challenged to evaluate where we have been and where the design evolution may go? The result was a project with both formal continuity and contradictions (somehow enjoying each other’s company), with construction that advanced the craft of local industries while still being very much of ordinary materials and is appreciated as an example for neighborhood adaptive re-use while also being loved by the people who use the club.

A SIMPLE OBSERVATION After six years of practising architecture in Istanbul, the six week fellowship at UQ in Fall, 2007, was a time to reflect on the multiplicity of influences on a changing decision-making landscape, share our design process, and further investigate the role information technologies and emerging multi-disciplinary knowledge has on the design of place. The students’ success reinforced my confidence in the creative mind’s ability to transform seemingly disparate and complex information into a poetic whole—one that aspires to transcend its own materiality and program to create cultural meaning, have clarity of its parts, and be a coherent meaningful expression of place.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 2007|2008 Architectural design research is aimed at advancing the discipline and knowledge of architecture through a process of pure and applied theory. This area is concerned with research into design principles and techniques carried out through built and unbuilt projects. The focus of these projects is innovative design, experimental design and expansion of design theory. Other facets of design research include contextual design, urban issues, architecture and landscape and critique of contemporary design practice. RESEARCH PROJECTS In 2007, Andrew Wilson of NMBW Queensland Office designed the Bäumler Forster Studio which was displayed as part of Abundant in the Australian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2008 entitled ‘OUT THERE: Architecture Beyond Building’. 1

Travel Abroad Studio in Architecture This project is led by Brit Andresen, with assistance from Mara Francis and also involves Douglas Neale and Elizabeth Musgrave. Initially funded through the UQ Teaching and Learning Strategic Grants Scheme, the project has attracted additional funding from the Office of Undergraduate Education. The value of the international student experience at tertiary level is widely accepted for the opportunities it offers including; exposure to other cultures, establishing connections abroad as well as the potential to critically reflect on conventions at the home university. This project will present both a case and a course for a Travel Abroad Studio with a focus on the needs of the discipline of architecture at The University of Queensland.

In 2007 and 2008, Peter Skinner’s housing design research focussed on development of affordable and widely applicable urban townhouse and apartment models suitable for suburban infill sites. Passive design strategies provide thermal comfort through appropriate orientation, solar design, ventilation, retention of urban vegetation, permeable landscape and water recycling strategies. Different configurations of these small footprint, vertical sky-to-garden models have been published as Rainbow Houses, ROHO and TOHO.

The St Lucia House by Peter Skinner and Elizabeth Watson-Brown continues to be widely published and exhibited in 2008 at the Gallery of Modern Art and at the Venice Architecture Biennale. Peter Skinner continues to regularly critique significant projects in the professional journals of record, and in 2008 was a judge of the National Architecture Australia Unbuilt Architecture Awards. Curriculum Development in Studio Teaching This cross-disciplinary, cross-institution project, funded by the Australia Learning and Teaching Council through their Disciplinary Based Initiatives: Common Curriculum Issues Scheme involves Elizabeth Musgrave, Brit Andresen and Douglas Neale working in association with Graham Forsyth and Bob Zehner from UNSW, Barbara de la Harpe and Fiona Peterson from RMIT and Noel Frankham from UTAS. This project aims to identify, describe and investigate the circumstances and characteristics of studio teaching models in architecture, art and design in order to illuminate the practice of studio for the higher education sector and identify practices that enhance student experience and student learning outcomes.

Studio Learning: reinvigorating learning practices in the architectural design studio The Studio Learning project was funded through the UQ Teaching and Learning Strategic Grants and involves Douglas Neale, Elizabeth Musgrave and Brit Andresen. This project will describe project and studio types specifically directed at drawing out and developing processes of architectural design and implementing them in Architectural Design courses at The University of Queensland. Such studio and project types carry within them the capacity to reveal to students tacit knowledge in architecture. The project will investigate and record the circumstances surrounding the reception of such knowledge.

Emerging studio practices in disciplines such as engineering and computer science have the potential to learn from the experience of disciplines where studio is a well-established form of learning. There is also a need to reinvigorate established studio practices. 92 PROJECTS REVIEW 2007-2008

Mezaparks project The Mezaparks project by Michael Dickson with Mara Francis involved the restoration and extension of a timber functionalist house situated in the forest suburb of Riga, Latvia. Mezaparks was developed as a colony of villas in a forest setting in the early 1900’s in response to the then prevalent interest in the idea of the garden city in Europe as a way in which to deal with problems of density and unhealthy housing.

This project offered an alternative approach to the prevailing attitude to the reconstruction of dwellings in post soviet Latvia which viewed the house as an object and status symbol. The latent potential of this project enabled us to focus on the garden as an outdoor room with all buildings addressing the private and informal outdoor space. The lightweight timber carcass was underpinned and restored sympathetically to the period of the house’s original construction as well as providing state of the art servicing. Much of the bulk of the house was built into the ground to manage the scale. The other two adjoining buildings, one for guests and the other relaxation, take their cues from the language of the original dwelling but start to develop a closer dialogue with the garden through material and organisation.

There were two main design-build projects in 2007-2008 involving timber construction; the bentwood timber chapel project and the Campus Kindy Playscapes. Michael Dickson and Cathy Smith have completed a playscape for the Campus Kindy as part of Design Studio activities with 1st year in 2008. This ties into the Design Build Studio Precedents in Architectural Education grant project to develop a Design Build Studio program in the Architecture School and to create a Web Portal to link potential design build partners. The Campus Kindy Playscapes project involved the first year architecture students in the design and construction of two playscapes in semester 2, 2009, under lecturer Michael Dickson’s direction and in consultation with the kindergarten students—the first playscape has been recently completed. Michael Dickson’s bentwood project is an ongoing consultancy to DPI, researching potential design applications for steam-bent hardwood forest thinnings to make sustainable use of industry ‘waste’. This project will continue as a student selective in 2009-2010. The Centre has also undertaken a number of design and sustainability consultancies including feasibility studies, brief preparation, workshops and design input, by and large, for commercial offices and health facilities. Following Richard Hyde’s departure at the end of 2007, Marci Webster-Mannison replaced him as the Director of the Centre of Sustainable Design in 2008.

History and Theory is a broad area centred on the interpretation of past architectural works and the development of explanatory and prescriptive theory. It also includes practical work such as the discovery and recording of works and the management of buildings of agreed cultural significance. During 2007 and 2008 ATCH researchers released a number of new books. ATCH Director John Macarthur saw ‘The Picturesque: Architecture, Disgust and Other Irregularities’ (Routledge 2007) into print, marking the end of a long-term research project on this theme. UQ Postdoctoral Research Fellow Andrew Leach also published ‘Manfredo Tafuri: Choosing History’ (A&S/books 2007), which drew from his doctoral thesis defended the previous year. With Antony Moulis and Nicole Sully, Andrew Leach also edited an anthology of essays on the region’s architectural history, drawn from contributions to the annual conferences of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand and called ‘Shifting Views: Selected Essays on the Architectural History of Australia and New Zealand’ (UQP 2008). Annual symposia drew groups to the Institute of Modern Art in 2007, and the Gallery of Modern Art in 2008. The 2007 colloquium, ‘Architecture, Disciplinary and the Arts’ was held over two days, and contributions will be published as a book in 2009. The 2008 event, a survey of recent research work in the architectural humanities, brought Professor William Taylor from the University of Western Australia as a keynote speaker, addressing the audience with his keynote address titled ‘Ships and Fools of Various Kinds: naval architecture and representations’. ATCH academics were successful in receiving research funds in these years. Nicole Sully and Andrew Wilson both conducted research funded by UQ’s New Staff Grant, Nicole Sully on memory and architecture, Andrew Wilson on Californian modernism and its relation to Queensland architecture. Andrew Leach held an Early Career Research Grant to investigate Manfredo Tafuri’s teaching on Francesco Borromini. John Macarthur and Andrew Leach further applied successfully for an Australian Research Council Discovery Project Grant in 2008 to study ‘The Baroque in Architectural Culture, 1880-1980’.

His philosophy was based firmly on the British Edwardian ‘free style’ movement, which grew out of Morris’ Arts and Crafts. Central to this style was an exploitation of regional differences as being an appropriate basis for any new tradition. His work thus valued the idiosyncratic architecture then developing in Brisbane, where British cultural references were mixed with a sub-tropical climate and a timber building tradition. Coupled with the belief in fitness for purpose, was a concern with fresh air, health and a sensible response to climate. Dods was very familiar with the direction of visual style in early twentieth century Britain and its interpretation in colonial outposts. His buildings possessed the qualities of balance and

finely honed proportion, yet were mixed with a quirky freshness. In Australia, this ‘new look’ was seen as cutting edge, even revolutionary, by some local architects. The dissertation presents research conducted over thirty years into the buildings and archival records of Dods. The author has collected the most extensive archive of Dods material and images of Dods’ buildings in existence for this purpose. Illustrations of the work as built and original drawings are included where possible. The dissertation commences with a biographical summary and is then organised by building type: houses, ecclesiastical works, commercial practice, hospitals, public buildings and other works, some of which were not built. Each chapter considers the scale of activity, describes the most significant works, and analyses key examples. This thesis offers the first reliable and comprehensive list of Dods’ works and, based on this, a new assessment of his achievement and significance. In the first instance the research illustrates the large scale of Dods’ practice and the variety of building types within this practice. The dissertation then demonstrates the high quality of Dods’ work, the strong role of architectural tradition within this work, and his significance in the development of an Australian architecture. It outlines how he brought current British ideas to Australia and adapted them to a local context, first in Queensland (through the partnership of Hall & Dods and as Diocesan Architect to the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane) then in New South Wales (during his time with Spain Cosh & Dods), with different emphasis in each place. By close study of the extant works and those recorded in the Dods Archive, then comparing them with those of his contemporaries, both in Australia and Britain, the dissertation argues for the inventiveness and accomplishment of Dods’ architecture and through such knowledge offers a compelling reason for its retention. — Robert Riddel RESEARCH 97

ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY 2007|2008 Environment and society is a broad research area in architecture concerned with the study of the relations between people and their built and natural environments, generally of relevance to the discipline and the profession of architecture, especially the activity of design. This is an interdisciplinary area of study with natural links to the social sciences, the humanities and, broadly, the environmental sciences. Research projects may focus on parts or aspects of the built environment other than that which is called architecture or which is designed by architects. The Aboriginal Environments Research Centre constitutes the major part of research conducted in this area. Sustainability and residential alternatives Greg Bamford wrote an introductory paper on cohousing and similarly innovative residential models for the web-based, RAIA Environment Design Guide. A second paper for the Guide, co-authored with Lea Lennon, concentrates on the Australian context. The papers describe and analyse the development of cohousing and related housing and neighbourhood ideas. One focus of the analysis is the role of such models in cultivating the domestic economy and in helping to manage or reduce material demands, in particular, by substituting social relations for consumption in the construction of intentional neighbourhoods or community generally.

Production of Resin by Aboriginal Communities in North-West Queensland AWARDED DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 2008 Ecodesign for Large Campus Style Buildings After exploring what it means to see architectural practice in an ethical framework, this thesis describes a design experience, namely the author’s design of the Thurgoona campus of Charles Sturt University, that is concerned with the interrelationship between environmental responsibility and architectural decision-making. This thesis is not prescriptive, but suggests a way of thinking through the complex nature of ecodesign as applied to the design and construction of large campus style buildings. Chapter 1 reviews the problems of integrating environmental concerns with building design, and establishes the urgency for, and ethical responsibility of, designers to place their work in a universal environmental framework. Chapter 2 develops a research methodology which includes the analytical use of case studies. Chapters 3 and 4 describe the design process through a rather personal journey of some of the author’s architectural work at the Thurgoona campus, and the reflective, rather than quantitative, analysis of the design process in action on this project. Chapter 5 reviews values and design principles, integrates case study data, explores the implications to the theory, policy and practice of architecture, and identifies areas for further research. In summary, this thesis establishes the need for designers to acknowledge the connections between building design and environmental problems, and tells the story of an ecodesign process that attempts to deal with the consequent implications to architecture. — Marci Webster-Mannison

As a self-supporting research centre within the School, the AERC fulfils three primary functions as a research and consultancy practice, a teaching centre, and an archive. Its research focus is on the cultures and environments of Indigenous peoples. RESEARCH PROJECTS In 2007, Paul Memmott concluded a major study of Indigenous family violence in the Barkly Region, N.T., for Anyinginyi Health with mentoring of Aboriginal outreach teams. During 2007-08, Paul also carried out a major study of Family Violence in the Torres Strait region for the Queensland Department of Communities. He was assisted by Charles Passi of Mer. Paul Memmott completed his indepth study of the architecture of Aboriginal Australians presented in a book titled ‘Gunyah Goondie + Wurley: the Aboriginal Architecture of Australia’ and published by UQP in 2007. The publication is the result of 35 years of research exploring the range and complexity of Aboriginal-designed structures, spaces and territorial behaviours, from minimalist shelters to permanent houses and villages. Gunyah Goondie + Wurley not only provides an introduction and framework for ongoing debate and research on Aboriginal settlements but also aims to introduce and provide insights for the lay reader to the lifestyles and cultural heritage of Aboriginal peoples. In 2008, Gunyah Goondie + Wurley was awarded the Bates Smart Award for Architecture in the Media of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, Victoria Chapter; the best designed reference and scholarly book at the National Book Awards; and the prestigious Stanner Award by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, Canberra. Also in 2008, Paul Memmott and a team of multi-disciplinary researchers commenced the ‘Towards Novel Biomimetic Building Materials: Evaluating Aboriginal and Western Scientific Knowledge of Spinifex Grasses’ project. This ARC Discovery project examines material properties and sustainable applications for spinifex using innovative methodology. Aboriginal traditional knowledge combines with Western science to evaluate spinifex properties in the context of traditional Aboriginal uses, ecology, sustainable harvesting, and novel biomimetic materials.

PROGRAM INFORMATION 2007|2008

STAFF LIST 2007

The Architecture program offers courses that meet the changing demands of the profession and makes a positive contribution to the shaping of our built environment and our culture. The focus of the professional program is the teaching of architectural design through studio-based projects.

ARCHITECTURE STAFF

The Architecture Program offers both undergraduate and postgraduate programs, as well as research-based higher degrees. In 2007 the mainstream program was the Bachelor of Architecture (BArch), which required five years of full time study. After completing Year 3, students were required to take a year out from study to obtain 10 months of professional experience prior to entering Year 4 of the program.

2008

From 2008, architectural education at The University of Queensland changed to a two-tier program made up of a three-year undergraduate degree, Bachelor of Architectural Design (BArchDes) and a two-year postgraduate coursework degree, Master of Architecture (MArch). This new structure aligns with new international benchmarks in architectural education and incorporates the requirements for professional registration as an architect. The two-tier program also offers students greater opportunity for depth of study in architectural design and research. Graduates who wish to become practising architects must obtain another year of practical experience and pass the Architectural Practice examination set by the Board of Architects. They then may be registered as architects. Students wishing to undertake further academic studies or pursue a research or academic career may apply for candidacy in a research higher degree. The Master of Philosophy (Architecture) and Doctor of Philosophy programs are offered and are undertaken in modes appropriate to the research topic. This includes the MPhil by Design which is a structured research program in design research. Information on the Architecture Program may be obtained from the School of Architecture web site at www.architecture.uq.edu.au
