Exhibition: “Planetary Assemblages” at Lethaby Gallery, Central St Martins | April 5-30, 2022

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

When: From 5th to 30th of April 2022

Where: Lethaby Gallery, Central St Martins, Granary Square, N1C 4AA

The work of Monsoon Assemblages and the Manifest Data Lab visualises geophysical and atmospheric data as ways of making climate change perceptible and public.

Through drawings, maps, animations and models saturated with data from multiple sources, Planetary Assemblages proposes a critical engagement by bringing two groups of work into dialogue. This dialogue demonstrates the power of art and design to explore our connections to the climate crisis and motivate awareness of the material, social and cultural ways we are implicated in it.

Year 2 Detail Design Day Clinic

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

Yesterday, as a part of their Detailed Design Study module, 2nd Year BA Architecture students had an opportunity to meet up with practicing architects and UOW staff to discuss their projects and detail design as required per their current brief.

The study is made up of the following 4 sections:

  • To draw/ sketch/ explore a Structural strategy for the building
  • To draw/ sketch/ explore an Environmental strategy for the building
  • Detail Explorations (detailed study of 3 Technical ‘Moments’ from the building envelope)
  • Physical Model (scale no larger than 1:1, no smaller than 1:20)

As a final outcome of the project, the students are invited to present a richly illustrated A3 Landscape Colour PDF Document with appropriate use of diagrams, 2D drawings, 3D drawings, sketches, photographs of the model, research, precedents and references.

The practitioners who came to work with the students during yesterday’s Detail Design Clinic were: Scott Batty Architect (UOW), Jeremy Young (Featherstone Young Architects), Wayne Head (Curl la Tourelle Head Architects), Theclalin Cheung (Curl la Tourelle Head Architects), Jim Potter (Waind Gohil + Potter), Elantha Evans Architect (UOW), Andrew Whiting (HUT), Sangkil Park (MAKE)
