The competition is primarily judged on ideas, not graphic communication.
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.
SuperStudio 2015 is supported by the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, University of Melbourne.

ABPL90380 Designing for Heat in the Public Domain - November
This new subject will be taught intensively from 23 November - 10 December, 2015.
With 2014 now considered the hottest year on record, the implication of climate change on the liveability of cities is becoming increasingly apparent. This elective design seminar explores the issue of heat and thermal comfort in the design of the public domain
This intensive is open to design students (architecture, landscape architecture and urban design) and planners. We will explore the potentials of contemporary digital tools (simulation, Rhino and grasshopper) and data (including sensors and real-time) combined with current theoretical writings crossing climate change science, cultural studies and digital design to develop innovative design and planning responses.
Students will research and explore a range of techniques including data capture, the use of simulation software and critical analysis of design precedents to produce a design proposition for a site in Melbourne.
