Opening Address by Sir Peter Cook EXHIBITION DATES: Exhibition open daily from 18th November-18th December EXHIBITION VENUE: The Bridge Gallery, School of Architecture and the Built Environment, University of Westminster, 1st Floor 35 Marylebone Road, London RSVP and enquiries: bridgegallery@westminster.ac.uk Exhibitor: Leon van Schaik AO, RMIT Professor of Architecture, Innovation Chair Catalogue Essay: Richard Blythe, Professor of Architecture, Head of Architecture + Design Exhibited Practices: Ashton Raggatt McDougall Edmond and Corrigan Minifie Nixon Sean Godsell Architects WOHA To imagine that Leon van Schaik’s ideographs represent a thinking process would be to miss the point. They are not representational but rather they are the thinking. Thinking in action if you will, concretised in a drawing. To make this claim in our post-Socratic world is radical in that it suggests that the movement of the arm and hand are integral, it is to claim that the body thinks. Leon van Schaik AO, LFRAIA, RIBA, PhD, is a Visiting Professor at the University of Westminster and Professor of Architecture (Innovation Chair) at RMIT, from which base he has promoted local and international architectural culture through practice-based research. He is the author of several books: Mastering Architecture, Design City Melbourne and Spacial Intelligence (Wiley). His next book, Procuring Innovative Architecture will be released by Routledge in 2010.  Terunobu Fujimori & Nobumichi Oshima, Teahouse Tetsu, 2006. Photo: Masuda Akihisa.

Gold coin donation Terunobu Fujimori will discuss his architectural activities. EXHIBITION SHELTER: ON KINDNESS Presented by RMIT Gallery in association with ArtPlay as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival Curators: Suzanne Davies, Vanessa Gerrans and Sarah Morris RMIT Gallery brings together artists, architects, writers and thinkers to reflect on what qualities of environment and circumstance afford us shelter in a physical and metaphorical sense. Is shelter a sense of safe haven, a place to protect ourselves from the natural elements, from the unrelenting pressures of modern life or, perhaps, a place or space to reflect on our innermost thoughts? Shelter: On Kindness is about tea houses, contemporary architecture, cattlemen’s huts and aboriginal shades. It examines ideas of nurture and kindness through the filter of the writings of psychoanalyst and author Adam Phillips and historian Barbara Taylor in On Kindness, Penguin, 2009.

INTERNATIONAL HOUSING EXHIBITION Kazunari Sakamoto, Tokyo Institute of Technology House: Poetics in the Ordinary RMIT Design Research Institute Exhibition Melbourne Curator: Nigel Bertram, RMIT Architecture Senior Lecturer; Co-Director: DRI Urban Liveability with Sue Anne Ware; Director: RMIT Urban Architecture Laboratory; Practice Director: NMBW Exhibition Dates: 08.04.09–02.05.09 Public Lecture: Wednesday 29.04.09 at 6 pm (see below) Exhibition Closing Party: Wednesday 29.04.09 at 7:30pm Venue: The Atrium, Federation Square, Corner Swanston & Flinders St, Melbourne Prof. Sakamoto, of the Tokyo Institute of Technology is an internationally renowned Japanese architect. He was a student of Kazuo Shinohara and the teacher of Kaijima and of Tsukamoto of Atelier Bow-Wow, also of TITech. This exhibition presents Sakamoto's major works in residences and collective housing from the past 30 years. Kazunari Sakamoto’s architectural works emerge at the boundaries of everyday life. These consciously inconspicuous forms, both in a haphazard suburban setting or in the density of Tokyo, provide an entirely new spatial sensation. This exhibition continues the Design Research Institute’s interest in the discussion that expands the conventional focus on “housing” as a general economic or social condition to include examination of the individual dwelling and its spatial contexts. Moving beyond the large scale and the spectacular, this exhibition will demonstrate the importance contemporary Japanese culture attaches to the activities and environments of everyday life.  PUBLIC LECTURE Kazunari Sakamoto "House: Poetics in the Ordinary" RMIT Design Research Institute Public Lecture Introduced By Prof Geoffrey London, Victorian Government Architect Date: Wednesday 29.04.09 Lecture Time: 6:00pm Exhibition Closing Party: from 7.30 pm onwards Venue: ACMI Cinema 1, Federation Square, Corner Swanston & Flinders St , Melbourne VIC 3000 The RMIT Design Research Institute invites you to a public lecture by visiting Professor Kazunari Sakamoto of the Tokyo Institute of Technology. It is an opportunity to hear Professor Sakamoto discuss his architectural composition and how it finds greater significance in everyday life than in aesthetic expression. It is this ‘absolute commonness of the everyday’ that presents to him a space of freedom that enables a communication between the body and the world. This lecture is followed by an exhibition closing party and drinks.
