23.01.2022 Congratulations to UWA School of Design MFA student Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson (@ellieeshraghian.art) who has been awarded the $20,000 overall prize in the 202...0 Joondalup Invitation Art Award for her film work ‘face to face’. Regarded as one of Western Australia’s most prestigious awards for contemporary art, this is an incredible achievement for an early career artist. face to face is a moving portrait of stillness and archival chaos, navigating intergenerational identity. The Iran and Pakistan Border marks a pivotal moment between execution and freedom where the artists family fled persecution during the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Her mother writes a poem of universality by a celebrated Persian Poet Rm, on her brothers face juxtaposed by the visual and vocal monotony that distorts connectivity; being eye to eye, face to face.

21.01.2022 UWA School of Design lecturer in landscape architecture and director at To and Fro Studio, Rosie Halsmith recently interviewed community leader, cultural burning practitioner and traditional Ballardong Nyungar landholder Oral McGuire on the role of traditional land and fire management practices in regenerating Country. Kaarlngara [fire] is very sacred. I grew up connected to fire. And as an eight-, nine-, ten-year-old, I remember going out with my oldies and watchi...ng them clear the land, burn it. I became a fire fighter in my adult years, before [moving towards] what is now termed cultural burning. Understanding and respecting fire, in our cultural way, is about knowing all of the elements of fire its natural force and its natural beauty. The right fire, in the right country, by the right people, is a very powerful, spiritual thing. - Oral McGuire, 2020.

16.01.2022 Winter Collective 2020 ANNA BABRIECKI ‘Strange destinations’... for ARTF1054 Drawing Foundations coordinated by Andy Quilty assisted by Jo Darvall ‘Remember here when you are there. An experimental exploration of a series of bizarre dreams that I’ve had over the last four years, presented in the form of short animated sequences. My dreams tend to be colourful and intense and sometimes disturbing, with the occasional recurring plotline or character, and although I’ve been keeping a journal of the most notable of these dreams for the last four years, I’ve never really put much effort into trying to translate them into a visual form. The idea of dreams as an expression of someone’s subconscious/truest self is a concept that I find very interesting which is how my project’s theme of producing a self-portrait by means of visualizing my dreams (some of which have very personal meanings and context) became the central part of this work.’ - Anna Babriecki, 2020 Image: Anna Babriecki.

12.01.2022 The 37th Annual Conference of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand - Sahanz 2020 - 'History's Futures' - commences on the 18th November 2020 with a public lecture by Tim Winter. ‘Reimagining the past through the sea: the unfolding futures of architectural history and heritage’ With Tim Winter... Chaired by Nigel Westbrook Wednesday 18 November 2.00pm AWST Hew Roberts Lecture Theatre, UWA Nedlands Campus, and via ZOOM (Check website https://www.sahanz2020.com/conference-programme for Zoom details from Monday 16 November) RSVP essential for in-person attendance to [email protected] ‘What if we were able to rethink the typologies, chronologies, and geographies of architectural histories? What if we fundamentally rethought conventional ideas about centre and periphery in the flows of culture, expertise and technology? And what if we upended the relationship between architecture, land and the nation in the politics of heritage? Could such questions help us rethink the ways in which architecture histories and heritage are taught and conceptualised? This presentation poses such questions against the backdrop of fast changing geopolitical developments in our region. It does so by jumping in the water. It considers what happens when we turn to oceans and seas to understand architectural pasts and their heritage discourses today. Strategic and commercial forces are driving funds and interest in the maritime across Eurasia and Africa. Such developments pose fascinating questions about the future of architectural histories and the place they might find in today’s shifting tides of connectivity.’ Tim Winter is an Australian Research Council Professorial Future Fellow at the University of Western Australia. He is the former President of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies and has conducted research across a number of countries, primarily in Asia. An interdisciplinary scholar, his work addresses how the past comes to be mobilized in the present for political and economic purposes.

10.01.2022 Congratulations to UWA School of Design Adjunct Professor Patrick Beale and team from ATC Studio and iredale pedersen hook architects for winning the ‘Commendation for Sustainable Architecture’ at the 2020 National Architecture Awards. From The Australian Institute of Architects: Commendation for Sustainable Architecture - 2020 National Architecture Awards... Pingelly Recreation and Cultural Centre // iredale pedersen hook architects with Advanced Timber Concepts Studio // WA // Traditional Land Owners: Noongar people of the Gnaala Karla Boodja Region // Peter Bennetts Jury citation: In addition to being a beautifully designed sports facility with a generous disposition, the much-loved Pingelly Recreation and Cultural Centre uses innovative sustainable timber design solutions for low environmental impact and high aesthetic value. One thousand tonnes of local plantation yellow stringybark was harvested, milled and used as cladding and flooring, jarrah was salvaged from the original sports hall, and all other timbers were from sustainable sources. An ingenious structural design using certified engineered timber and offsite prefabrication resulted in the reduced consumption of precious resources. Natural ventilation and fans cool the sports hall, limiting conditioned spaces to the function centre, gymnasium and club rooms. A high level of shading is applied to all glazing, and daylight augments lighting to the sports hall and other spaces. The oversized external timber cladding has been sealed with natural oil; however, it is intended to weather to silver-grey over time. . . . . #universitywa #uwadesign #uwadesignstaff #AustralianInstituteofArchitects #NatAwards20 #australianarchitecture #architecture #architectureawards Australian Institute of Architects (WA Chapter) See more

10.01.2022 Congratulations to UWA School of Design lecturer Craig McCormack for receiving a ‘UWA Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning’ at the 2020 UWA Awards for Excellence in Teaching last week. Craig is a lecturer and researcher exploring architecture in outer space. He is currently finalising his PhD thesis concerning the possibility of architecture in outer space. My research is concerned with testing the limits of architecture. I believe that this i...s a very important conversation to be having as people deserve well-designed environments no matter where they are living; even in outer space. Craig has previously received a prestigious Fulbright Western Australian Postgraduate Scholarship to carry out research at the Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture - SICSA and has also studied in the UK (with a background in music and art before moving into architecture). He enjoys being part of UWA's School of Design. Our school community is very strong. It benefits from being a cohesion of art, architecture, and landscape architecture schools all in the one building, which creates a vibrant atmosphere. . . . . #universitywa #uwadesign #uwaarchitecture #uwadesignstaff #uwateachingawards See more

01.01.2022 Winter Collective 2020 JIAYING FU ‘Khlong Toei Village’... for ARCT5201 Detailed Design Studio ‘Plastic Fantastic 3.0’ coordinated by Lara Camilla Pinho & Dr Mark Sawyer ‘Khlong Toei is a fast-developing district in the heart of the busy Bangkok city. The district is important for its port, Khlong Toei Port, the only major port for sea transportation of cargo. Due to the huge scale of Khlong Toei slum, the site of the project is limited at the intersection of the Hua Lamphong Canal and the interchange runs above. The canal and the interchange create the interesting in-between space for people in the slum. Informal settlements are built alongside the canal, slightly lifted from the water to avoid flooding during the rainy season. Inspired by the existing environment of the site, I promote the social house which provides better living conditions and more public space for people to gather. Housing is raised leaving the ground floor open to the public yet covered by the upper floor, mimicking the area under the interchange. Due to its openness, different activities can be incorporated on the ground floor. During the flood season, the ground floor can be emptied so that flooding doesn’t damage property. The main living area is elevated, preventing the flood’s impact on people’s life here. The house is strictly modular. Three single houses form one cluster, sharing one platform that allows people to move from house to house on the upper floor. The outdoor kitchen is built on the platform so that the smoke won’t be trapped in the house. Built using local materials, the house is cheap and easy to build. The houses are designed to be modular so that two houses next to each other can be easily transform into one larger house if the household has more people.’ - Jiaying Fu, 2020.
