Current News 17 August 2011 RMIT LAUNCHES ARCHITECTURAL COMMISSIONS SELECTION FRAMEWORK: RMIT University recently launched Australian Selection Framework, a pioneering program to support innovative Australian architects and new architectural talent. Focused on individuals rather than practices, the program includes peer engagement, mentoring and professional support, while emerging architects will be paired with larger firms that can support their work. Architects involved in the framework will be applicable to be pre-qualified for RMIT architectural commissions and will, therefore, support RMITs Capital Works Program. RMIT invites qualified architects, emerging architects, and architectural firms interested in acting as support for emerging architects, to express their interest in the program between 22 August and 9 September on the RMIT tenders website. 4 April 2011 European exchange for architecture students: Bachelor and Masters Architecture students have the opportunity to take part in a government-funded exchange program in Europe. 8 September 2010 RMIT ARCHITECTURE STUDENT PROJECT WINS CUMULUS GREEN AWARD: RMIT Architecture graduate Mike White has won the International Cumulus Green Award for his RMIT Architecture Design Thesis project "Landscape Urbanism" supervised by Mel Dodd and Diego Ramirez-Lovering.
