DASH: Experimental Housing“The current housing crisis calls for creative solutions, but the primacy of the market seems to leave little room for truly innovative initiatives. Between 1968 and 1980, by contrast, there were plenty of experiments in housing design, made possible in part by the then Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning. They led to a wide range of alternatives to the uniformity of the mass housing of the time. This edition of DASH takes the historical Experimental Housing Programme as an inspiring starting point in a search for alternative housing forms, typologies and construction methods. It highlights appealing Dutch examples, such as Aldo van Eyck and Theo Bosch’s ground-breaking Onder de Bogen in Zwolle and Abe Bonnema’s Vier Vier kanten in Alkmaar, complemented by exceptional examples from abroad: from Sweden, Great Britain, Spain, Australia, Israel, Hong Kong and Singapore.”

Dirt Moves, Dig and DumpThis collaborative, multi-voiced lecture by Hélène Frichot, Therese Keogh, Virginia Mannering, Karin Reisinger addresses the Anthropocene thesis by following the mass movements of dirt, soil and minerals, from construction sites to mining areas, to acts of terra-forming and re-orderings of communities and ecosystems
Subterranean Geographies Symposium“This event brings together “underground” and“underwater” geography scholars in Australia in order to discuss and identify key Australian-related themes for the “subterranean turn” – a “down-under subterranean turn” if you will – and to map future avenues so that this scholarship is more directly contributing to international debates on underground geographies. The Symposium will be structured online, over three days. The Geographical Society of NSW and the School of Humanities and Languages’ Environment and Society Group at UNSW are delighted to present papers that reflect on critical and creative approaches to Australian subterranean Geography.”https://subterraneangeographies.wordpress.com/

Learning from Las Begas - Design StudioThe federal seat of Eden-Monaro, in south-eastern New South Wales, has traditionally been known as a ‘bellwether’ electorate. A diverse population as well as tensions between regional centres, rural industries, coastal economies and fragile wildernesses have meant the electorate acts as microcosm for a broader Australian public. The area is increasingly attracting spillover populations from Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, resulting in townships once relatively isolated potentially merging into a kind of regional megalopolis.This studio will locate projects in Eden-Monaro, in particular a connected strip of coastal and hinterland towns (such as Bermagui, Merimbula, Bega and Yass). Students will investigate sites through mapping, archive material and analysis of industry, politics and local/state and national economies and produce architecture that relates to these conditions. The class will create a network of projects, models and drawings.

"The Moruya Versatile Arkbridge System addresses the environmental issues concerning the industrial and socioeconomic profile of the region. "The architectural intervention is a system that functions as part of an urban plan, revitalising the town to draw tourists for economic sustainability while providing infrastructural support to the smaller neighbouring towns that depend on its services. "The project acts as a cautionary speculative future, exemplifying an alternative architectural response to a near-dystopian Australian setting devastated by human-induced climate change."
