Open Agenda
Open Agenda is a new annual competition aimed at supporting a new generation of experimental Australian architecture. Open to recent architecture graduates, Open Agenda will award seed funding to three exceptional design research proposals that explore new positions in architecture for critical consideration.
An initiative of the School of Architecture at UTS, this national competition is intentionally broad in its scope and is focused on developing the possibilities of design research in architecture and the built environment and fostering new discussions on architecture in the public realm.
Organisers are looking for text and graphic based proposals that seek to develop research through architectural design. Proposals will be evaluated on the strength of their research topic, their innovative approach to design as research, design quality and their potential for development as a public exhibition, lecture and publication. Proposals that explore new forms of media and communication in this context are welcome.
Graduates from a professional degree in architecture in the last ten years (including and after 2000) are invited to submit a proposal.
Three proposals will be awarded seed funding of $2000 for development towards a publication and a public exhibition at Customs House in Sydney in 2010. The three teams or individuals will also have the opportunity to present a public lecture on their work at UTS in Sydney and at RMIT in Melbourne in Spring 2010 as part of their public lecture series. The winners will be featured in an edition of Architectural Review Australia in early 2011.
Entries due 10 May 2010.
