"People" - Australasian Architecture Student Congress
|
 |
|
Dates: 2 - 4 July 2015
Venue: Various locations, Melbourne
Architecture is about people. In architecture we work and rest, it’s where we fall in love, where we protest; architecture changes behaviour, it unites and divides, provides shelter and inspiration.
This year Melbourne’s metropolitan architecture schools will come together to host the first Architecture Student Congress in the city since 1964. We invite you to join us on a journey around the city as we seek to investigate questions of spatial relations, architectural anthropology, humanitarian architecture, advocacy and intervention.
This is a unique opportunity for students to hear from local and international speaker, attend workshops and network.

Opportunity to contribute to Utopia, Season 2
|
 |
|
The production team currently working on the second season of Utopia, a series by Working Dog which was aired on ABC last year, is seeking contributions for the opening titles of season two.
The program is a satire about the difficult process of taking grand, uncosted, inadequately planned, fundamentally flawed schemes - and passing them off as "Nation Building".
They are looking to include some 3D animated architectural renders in the opening titles of the program.
The work of MSD students featured in the opening titles of the first session and are now looking for some new renders to enhance the new version.
If you are interested in contributing work to this project or would like to find out more please contact Lydia Springhall.
