Index 2010

Yesterday I attended Index 2010 at the University of Technology Sydney School of Architecture (UTS), where I will be teaching following the summer break (in the autumn = March). Still trying to calibrate my thinking to southern hemisphere season timing...

It was a unique and engaging event. The school of architecture closed off two laneways for the day to host a series of outdoor lectures by notable Australian architecture figures, followed by the end of year exhibition of student work located in an adjacent warehouse space. It was incredibly lively; lots of people, cocktails, a sausage stand, fresh oysters, live music, dancing, and— courtesy of Joanne Jakovich’s studio—a lounge created by the students which transplanted a series of domestic interior settings outside of the heritage cottage houses which lined the laneway.

I am very much looking forward to being a part of the team at UTS.
