We have identified the gaps that conventional practice has marginalised as fertile grounds for intervention: places of becoming, transaction, negotiation and improvisation. This exhibition has been supported by the Design Research Institute and RMIT School of Architecture and Design through the SRC funds. This exhibition runs in conjunction with: Affirmative Architecture Symposium RMIT Storey Hall, 20–21 August 2010 website: www.affirmativearchitecture.com  EXHIBITION Stony Rises Project The Stony Rises Project is an exhibition of art and design works all derived from sustained, multifaceted investigation into the Western District of Victoria. Venue: RMIT Gallery, Storey Hall 344 Swanston Street, Melbourne http://www.rmit.edu.au/rmitgallery Exhibition Dates: 23rd July - 11th September Curators: Lisa Byrne, Harriet Edquist, Laurene Vaughn Exhibitors: Vicki Couzens, Lesley Duxbury, Ruth Johnstone, Seth Keen, Gini Lee, Jenny Lowe, Marion Manifold, Laurene Vaughan, Kit Wise and Carmel Wallace Working in the diverse fields of art, architecture, design, geography, history and cultural theory, and using the drystone wallas the impetus for initial research, each of the participants in the project – Vicki Couzens, Lesley Duxbury, Ruth Johnstone, Seth Keen, Gini Lee, Jenny Lowe, Marion Manifold, Kit Wise, Laurene Vaughan and Carmel Wallace – produced a variety of works in response to their intensive immersion in the region. Each has made a work that is socially engaged and anchored in the broad frame of landscape. About The Works. By focusing on the different histories of the area the exhibition brings to the surface the intricate relationships of people with place, foreigners on new lands, and colonial and indigenous narratives. The exhibition will be presented at RMIT Gallery in Melbourne August 2010, after which it will tour to the Art Gallery of Ballarat (Vic), Horsham Art Gallery (Vic), Warrnambool Art Gallery (Vic), and Riddoch Art Gallery (S.A.)RMIT School of Architecture and Design affiliated participants: Harriet Edquist is the RMIT Professor of Architectural History, Director of the RMIT Design Archives and research leader in the RMIT Design Research Institute - Geoplaced Knowledge program.

STATE OF DESIGN EXHIBITION Matchpoint.Melbourne Exhibition Opening: July 1, 2010, 6pm Exhibition Dates: July 2–18, 2010, open daily 5-8pm, with extended events Venue: RMIT Building 45, 33 Lygon Street (corner of Earl Street opp Trades Hall, see State of Design website for map location) State of Design Website: Matchpoint.Melbourne Melbourne’s major sporting events attract worldwide attention; however, social sports in the inner city are also thriving but go largely unnoticed. Matchpoint.Melbourne is an urban research and design project that suggests how the framework for our everyday sporting activities could be more consciously designed to reveal a dynamic new facet of the city’s well recognised urban culture. In this way, the project aims to connect Melbourne’s branding initiatives to projects of real social substance.

The exhibition also includes 29 posters by some of the architects, an essay by Richard Blythe, and a visual history of the ideograms. An ideogram is not a diagram. A diagram ‘shows the features of an object needed for exposition rather than its actual appearance’, while an ideogram ‘symbolises the idea’ of a situation (OED). After embarking on a design practice research project: visiting sites and buildings, interviewing the architects, clients and users, conducting various data searches, the time comes to pull everything together around the central ideas that have emerged. Leon van Schaik use ideograms to effect this clarifying condensation. Richard Blythe writes of two kinds of ideogram: “one that is created as an act of private thinking, a sort of reflective practice; and the other as an act of public thinking, a communal activity.” Many of the ‘Thinking about Architecture’ ideograms have been constructed while debating with a group of architects (practitioners and students) and potential users of architecture. Both kinds act as platforms from which writing is launched. In the book ‘Procuring Innovative Architecture’ (Routledge 2010) the ideograms that presaged each chapter are included as opening illustrations. It has taken many years to master the art of ideogram making and this history is summarised in the exhibition.

Using laminate sheets reclaimed from the local waste stream, the projects revisit the post-war “Make Do and Mend” culture of creative reuse and material harvesting, finding alternative applications for a highly discarded architectural product. Designed in Melbourne and shipped overseas, each project devises a way to digitally reprocess the sheets into flat-packable assemblies which conform to standard international luggage dimensions and weights. The ready-made architectural cargo is scheduled to arrive in London in June as part of the International Architecture Student Festival.

In cities, towns and regions across the world, vernacular ‘welcome to’ signs romantically define the image of a place at a defined boundary. Arrival and the idea of the locality are one. This singular arrival gesture expresses civic pride and ambitions, orientates and sometimes imparts useful information. These bureaucratic or statistical boundaries are generally static, while the built and experienced boundaries of a place are not. As a place grows, the visibility of its edges are diminished and the marking power of the welcome signpost wanes. Many localities are too big to perceive at a glance and the view from Google Earth is dissociated from experience once you’re close enough to see your own house, you can no longer see the whole city. If a locale cannot be summarised with a discrete image painted on a sign, how then is the image of it created? The exhibition proposes that architecture can act like a series of magnifying glasses laid over a map, bringing into exaggerated focus the experiences and elements that define a place. Presented by the Australian High Commission London and organised by Architecture Media, emoh rou will explore Australian architecture in three modes vernacular, built and speculative.   Dayne Trower, RMIT Master of Architecture (Professional) student URBAN ARCHITECTURE EXHIBITION Peripheral Living Installation Project Leaders: Nigel Bertram & Gretchen Wilkins - RMIT Architecture Urban Architecture Laboratory with RMIT Master of Architecture (Professional Degree) Urban Architecture Design Studio students & RMIT Master of Architecture (Research by Project) Urban Architecture candidates. exhibited in: Bushfire Australia Tarrawarra Museum of Art Healesville, Victoria 28 March - 25 July 2010 Bushfire Australia will examine the recurrence of bushfire imagery in the work of Australian artists. The exhibition will draw on works from state, public and private collections, including Australian historical paintings and new works made in direct response to the 2009 fires, creating a reflective, poignant and ultimately hopeful exploration of this dramatic Australian phenomenon. Peripheral Living Exhibition Catalogue Pamphlets: In this design study we took as our starting point design issues raised by the recent Victorian bushfires, from a personal to a regional scale. We considered this tragedy as a catalyst for broadly re-thinking the limitations and possibilities of community life within such bush environments on the fringes of our cities. The communities of Kinglake, Flowerdale, Healesville, Yarra Glen and others in Melbourne’s north-east are neither truly rural nor urban, but exist in an overlap zone of low-density peri-urban settlement, physically detached from, but still reliant on the metropolis for jobs and services. We researched contemporary and historical physical manifestations of this type of ‘peripheral living’ both in Australia and around the world, while considering the liberties, restrictions and possible future directions for life on the edge of the city. Design projects ranged from landscape interventions on the scale of a township to architectural strategies for individual properties and structures.  RMIT ARCHITECTURE EXHIBITION OPENING Lianyungang, Post Waterfront City - Population 30,000,000 Date: Tuesday, March 9, 2010 Time: 5:00pm - 7:00pm Location: Foyer Gallery, Level 11, RMIT Building 8, 360 Swanston Street, Melbourne Refreshments provided. Lianyungang, Post Waterfront City - Population 30,000,000 The planning & design of next generation living WAW2009: World Architecture Workshop World Architecture Workshop Series Since 2002 the World Architecture Workshop has undertaken interrogation through design in cities around the world. In 2009 the workshop turned its attention to the urbanism of population bursts in the context of water based city expansion in Lianyungang, China. Seven groups each obtaining students from Australia, China, France, and Japan produced projects which address global worming, complexity in the instant city, diversification of traffic systems and the merging of salt and fresh water systems and urban design strategies for the city. Given China's current rate of urbanisation the projects go on to propose engagement with primary industries as employment generators for recently re-located populations from rural areas. Massive population increase raises questions of identity for a city. The projects thus treat the histories of the city as building blocks for designing new identities for Lianyungang to guide it through the shifts, growth and iterations of change that its extraordinary ambition will bring.
