Superstudio 2015

Date and time: 7.00pm Friday 7 August - 7.00pm Saturday 8 August 2015
Venue: Monash Caulfield
Prize: The national winning team will receive return tickets to Venice
Registration: Register via Superstudio website

SuperStudio, SONA’s annual semester 2 event, is a 24 hour design competition that fosters: studio culture; networking and support between students of different universities and years of study; conceptual thinking; critique and analysis of topical subjects; and interaction between the architectural profession and the community. The competition is primarily judged on ideas, not graphic communication. In these ways SuperStudio achieves many things that SONA is passionate about. 

Teams consist of three students, and are encouraged to represent differing year levels and universities

One university in each state/territory hosts SuperStudio. The brief is released at the same time around the nation, and is confidential until that time.

A local jury will select a state/territory finalist. The state/territory finalist teams have an additional 10 days to refine their submission and presentation. A national jury will select a national winner from the state/territory finalists

Hot, High and Green?Research for Developing Australian Green Roofs

Date: Wednesday 29 July 2015
Time: 1.00pm - 2.00pm
Venue: Ground Floor Seminar Space, LAB-14, 700 Swanston Street, Carlton, VIC
RSVP: Register for this free event via Eventbrite

Green roofs are increasingly being used internationally for their environmental, social and economic benefits. Much of the evidence of benefits is based on research from cooler, temperate climates, the evidence from drier, warmer, Mediterranean climates, such as much of southern Australia, is little reported.

In 2008 John Rayner and Dr. Claire Farrell started a research group to explore interactions of plants, substrates and water in green roofs and social responses and behaviours.  This presentation will outline their research outcomes so far and their plans for the future.
