This summer session design studio is open to Yr 2 or Yr 3 students enrolled in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies. The studio can be counted as an elective. Alternatively Yr 3 students may count ARCH1406 as a substitution for a previously failed core design studio if they have a non weighted average of 63 in their previous studio courses (excluding the failed studio). NB ARCH1406 is a 6 UoC course and cannot be counted as a substitution for a 12 UoC core studio course such as ARCH1301 or ARCH1302. For enrolment, please contact the FBE Student Centre through 02-9385 4799.

In 2010, students will be designing a pavilion in one of the five locations of the Sydney Biennale – Cockatoo Island, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney Opera House, Artspace in Woolloomooloo or the Royal Botanic Gardens. Reflecting on the Venice Biennale and the Padiglioni pavilion, students will consider the idea of timelessness versus ephemeral constructions for the 2010 Sydney Biennale, entitled ‘The Beauty of Distance: Songs of Survival in a Precarious Age’. There will be a compulsory field trip to the above locations on Friday, 8th January.
