Working within a tight budget and State heritage constraints, Danny involved students from the School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design in the design and refurbishment of a former café space on campus. He has also been involved in publication, writing and designing for the student magazine On Dit and is a regular contributor to the Architecture Journal PLACE SA. Daniel Brookes undertook his 3-year undergraduate degree at the University of Adelaide and has transferred across to RMIT Architecture to complete his 2-year professional studies in the RMIT Master of Architecture (Professional) degree.

RMIT ARCHITECTURE STUDENT COMMENDED FINALIST IN THINK BRICK ABOUT FACE STUDENT AWARD 2011 Quang Duy Dang, RMIT Architecture student Commended Finalist: Think Brick About Face Student Award - University Competition  RMIT ARCHITECTURE STUDENT PROJECT WINS CUMULUS GREEN AWARD RMIT Architecture graduate Mike White has won the Cumulus Green Award for his RMIT Architecture Design Thesis project "Landscape Urbanism" supervised by Mel Dodd and Diego Ramirez-Lovering. This project proposes sustainable low-income housing and community infrastructure in a site located between an urban village and an informal shanty settlement in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. It offers short stay accommodation for migrant workers, which is the largest concern for the city in terms of urban policy for future development. This project also provides permanent housing for employees of a Community Learning Hub and temporary short- stay eco-tourism accommodation for volunteer workers on a working holiday. The project seeks to extend the economic, social and cultural resources of a marginalised indigenous community as a model for self sufficient and sustainable urban housing typologies, productive landscape infrastructure, social services and local economic opportunities. Cumulus Green is an international design prize focused on solutions which cultivate and lead global cultures, societies and industries toward ecological and responsible solutions. The International Cumulus Green award was announced in Shanghai, China on 8 September 2010 during the Cumulus conference ‘Young creators for Better city, better life' hosted by Tongji University. The winning work was chosen from among 400 projects submitted for the Cumulus 20th Anniversary Exhibition; the jury consisted of Cumulus President and Executive Board members. The award consists of award certificate and 2000 EUR. The RMIT Architecture submissions to the Cumulus 20th Anniversary Exhibition were curated by Brent Allpress.

Practice: Sharkmouse Winner: International Re-Growth House Competition Supported by Tarkett and InDesign Magazine, Announced 11 May 2009 1st prize $2500 RMIT Architecture student Tom Morgan has won an international competition for the design of a family house for Kinglake residents hit by the bushfires. The competition is based around the idea of a “House re-growth Pod”, a robust pre-fabricated concrete structure which in the short term acts as a habitable starting point for the building of a new home. In Morgan’s design, Tanked, the “suppression system is gravity fed, reducing reliance on fickle, two-stroke fire-pumps at the crucial juncture. Eaves and under-crofts are banished, reducing the chance of stray ember spot-fires.” The scheme was described by judges as having a “high level of creativity and innovation... A simple, intelligent and level-headed approach to bushfire mitigation”. | ||||||||
