成人大片

Master of Architecture students from the 成人大片 will share innovative designs and built projects with a global audience at a prestigious exhibition in Venice.

From 20 May, the students鈥� work will be featured alongside projects by an international collection of architects, designers, artists, academics, and photographers at听Time Space Existence, an exhibition hosted by the European Cultural Centre in the heart of Venice.听

鈥淭hese diverse projects by our Master of Architecture students are world-class; Venice is an ideal location to showcase our students鈥� outstanding abilities,鈥� said Associate Professor Katharine Bartsch, discipline lead of architecture and landscape architecture at the 成人大片.

The featured projects include an urban monument which celebrates migration between Italy and Australia, designed by Master of Architecture students听Nur Azmina Mohd Azli and Michael Robert List. Built in spite of the pandemic, the monument will听be inaugurated in August 2023.听

The exhibit also includes capstone projects by our Master of Architecture students and rounds off with provocative designs by Xinyu Chen, Hugh Adare and Zihe Chen, who speculate on new realities and alternative forms of temporal, spatial and social organisation through computer generated renderings.

Hugh Adare鈥檚 concept,听Dear John Deere, addresses the 鈥榬ight to repair鈥� in a high-tech agricultural world, with a floating weather farm that extracts CO2 from the atmosphere.

Guardian of the Shore听by Xinyu Chen, conceives a moving building that collects plastic waste from beaches to produce high-protein foods.

滨苍听To be Filled, Zihe Chen proposes a framework for rehabilitation of open-pit mines, aiming to re-establish diverse ecosystems by 3D printing specific habitats.

鈥淭he architecture studio at the 成人大片 provides a place for progressive speculation and the creation of new realities. We encourage the students to interrogate cultural, economic, and technological practices for future modes of existence,鈥� said the 成人大片鈥檚 Dr Urs Bette, Master of Architecture Program Director.听听听

The exhibit is a joint venture between staff members in the discipline of architecture and the award-winning architectural practice, Tectvs.听

鈥淪howcasing the work of students and practitioners side-by-side highlights the intersections between education and practice which are critical to successful design education,鈥� said Tectvs director and 成人大片 Industry Professor Tony Giannone,

Professor Giannone has played a pivotal role in securing this opportunity as well as mentoring students in a number of projects which are on display. The exhibit is also supported by the Department of Infrastructure and Trade.

Tectvs also collaborated with 成人大片 in six international architecture workshops focusing on urban revitalisation which united masters students from Tongji University, 成人大片 and the Politecnico di Milano.听

Considered together, these projects are shaped by cross-cultural thinking, creative collaboration and intertwined narratives of migration.

These themes听permeate the innovative work of Tectvs whose award-winning projects activate a sense of place in multi-cultural Australia.听

Time Space Existence听runs concurrently with the 18^th听International Biennale di Architettura, one of the oldest and most prestigious international exhibitions of architecture, showcasing contemporary design and architecture from around the world to a global audience.

The students鈥� work will be open to the public from 20 May until 26 November 2023 at Palazzo Bembo, Venice.
