UWA Students win SUPERSTUDIO
06
Congratulations to the
national winning team from the University of Western
Australia: Julius Welke, Paul Empson, James Quinton
have won the coveted and much sought after trip for
three to the Venice Architecture Biennale in Italy.
For an entry that was "brave,
risk-taking, engaged with the contradiction, and really
had a go" in the words of the national jurors.
Well-done UWA.
Quote from the SONA website
Nationally in 2006, 66 teams of 3 in each team total

Six locations
held SUPERSTUDIO 06 including Curtin U in WA, UniSA
in SA,U Melbourne in Victoria, UTS in NSW and the ACT,
QUT in Queensland and the Northern Territory, and U
Tasmania in Launceston, Tasmania.
Every university
or school of architecture was represented (there are
16 across Australia including the CDU in NT). Finalist
teams were selected from each of the 15 universities
taking part in SUPERSTUDIO.
The finalists models and
pin-ups were forwarded to RAIA NSW for national judging
on 25th August 2006.
National jury members were Bob
Nation, RAIA Immediate Past President, Justine Clarke,
current editor of Architecture Australia, and Gerard
Reinmuth of architectural practice TERROIR.
A cross
state winners announcement was made at events in both
RAIA NSW and RAIA VICTORIA on Tuesday 29th august 2006.
The RAIA NSW was podcast and is available on www.architecture.com.au
The
RAIA Victoria announcement was made on radio station

The Brief:
Cottesloe Beach Carpark Finalists must demonstrate an
architectural vision for the long term preservation of both the social and
environmental fabric of the urban beach. Above all, however, entrants are encouraged
to pursue their imaginations, and not only design but imagine proposals which
heighten the experience of this threshold between built environment and sea.
