Exhibitions:

Interlocked Space, State of Design, 17 July- 25 August, 9Yarra

Designed, fabricated and installed by first year architecture students from Monash University, this inhabitable display space explores fundamental architectural issues of site, scale and spatial experience. Central to the project is a rigorous and exploratory approach to testing design ideas with an intense focus on materiality. As its operational framework, the project engages the term interlock, a verb-noun simultaneously implying a constructive act and a structural order.

Project Coordination: Diego Ramirez-Lovering, Program Director, Monash Architecture & Ross Brewin, Lecturer, Monash Architecture

Design: Lauren Geschke, 1st year student, Monash Architecture

Construction: Lauren Geschke, Johnny Long, Tommy Liren Tao, Amy Ghaly, Colby Vexler, Brenna Kinnard, Nick Millar, Fleur Christian, Gretel Stent, Sophie Weber, Alex McKinnon, Dmitry Argentov, Alix Griffeths, Lauren Trainor, Jee Wee Ong

SMALL MATTERS: A Temporary Community Facility for Kinglake, August/September 2009
Silvia Acosta with Adrienne Benz, Visiting Lecturers

In response to the bushfires that devastated lives, homes and communities in Kinglake Australia, this studio will collectively design and build a communal facility in a temporary village that is being developed to house the displaced community. The resulting multipurpose structure, set in relation to a playground, will help generate a place for residents to discuss the future rebuilding as well as host social occasions and events.
