Sustainable design: SRD CHANGE 09

SRD Change is a unique exhibition of graduate sustainable design that often directly challenges conventional expectations. Exhibits are selected from a diverse range of design areas from all of Sydney's top Universities. They feature innovative visual and 3D works, multimedia and even high fashion garments. Held annually since 2004 with healthy annual visitor numbers, we have plans in place to promote our exhibition to an even wider audience.

Organisations & Resources: The Edge, State Library of Queensland

The Edge, part of the State Library of Queensland at the Cultural Centre is a place for experimentation and creativity, giving contemporary tools to young people to allow them to explore critical ideas, green initiatives, new design practices and media making. Informal spaces abound for discussion and the pursuit of individual and group activities, which foster a sense of community, a commitment to collaboration and a spirit of openness. Local and international residency opportunities bring specialists (catalysts) to The Edge to weave networks and stimulate the creative practice and productivity that takes place within and beyond the building. Inspiring workshops and forums for ideas exchange, led by catalysts and emerging practitioners and researchers are the core of The Edge program, and support all levels of engagement.

Interesting South

Interesting South covers a wide variety of interesting, unexpected, original things. Past events have served up a bumper crop of very different people, all of whom were evangelical (in the non-ecclesiastical sense of the word) about something they care about. The aim was to replicate the experience of clicking from one really good blog to another, ranging across sciences, arts, music, jokes and whatever. It was an unconference conference, a 'theatre of ideas' – very informal, with a very “open source” approach. If there was a single shared quality between speakers and participants it was curiosity. And that’s what we’re aiming for again.

// URBAN ISLANDS 2009 // Intensive Design Studio on Cockatoo Island, Sydney Harbour

Shifting economies leave post industrial cities with iconic and dormant sites that are both physically and culturally vacant. These urban islands present new challenges and opportunities for the cities they inhabit.

Cross disciplinary creativity, experimental tactics and broad based participation are needed to inject these places with renewed life.

The Urban Islands project seeks strategies of engagement that respond to the unique qualities of each site whilst imbuing them with the ideas and desires of the city.
