Young Australian architects are establishing unique new trajectories in design that combine innovative material and spatial research with high quality building. At the core of this new generation of Australian designers is the emergence of an urban sensibility and an evolution beyond the rural mythology of past generations, while maintaining a strong relationship to the outdoors. OUT FROM UNDER: Australian Architecture Now highlights this vibrant design culture and showcases the responses young Australian practices are applying to a new and innovative range of materials and practices.

After a successful first show at the American Institute of Architects SF Chapter headquarters, the show has moved on to Seattle and now Hong Kong with the support of the RAIA international committee. Plans are to move the show next to Beijing, Macau and KL in 2008.
