Seamus Cahill Theatrics of Space (2021)
The city of Newcastle is in a state of change. With new high rise developments popping up from the city through to inner suburbs, a new urban fabric is beginning to take shape. However, this new fabric does not come without loss. The insertion of new ultimately means removing the old, and it is at this intersection Theatrics of Space resides. Taking from what once was, and what it is to be, this project edits the future. Presenting an alternate development mode which will create a more vibrant and interesting city.
Meg Olsen & Kate Glanville Fish Out Of Water (2021)
Lauren Burke Scar City (2021)
Scar City is a speculative exploration of the future of gentrification and community resilience. The project utilises the site of the abandoned Govan Graving Docks in Glasgow, Scotland. This project looks to contribute to the conversation around gentrification, community engagement and urban renewal of vacant sites.
Lochlan Howard Carrington Cosmic Terminal (2021)
This project addresses the current existential emptiness western society faces. Blue screens, images, and information flood our daily lives. As such, the research explores how sacred spaces, in a growing secular society can provide a positive sense of repose, and hopefully endure clarity.
