Urban Islands presents the annual architectural exhibition at the Sydney gallery.
February 11th, 2010
Last year’s nine in 09 saw nine architectural firms supply everything from original sketchbooks and drawings to models and multimedia displays for the innovative architectural exhibition in the Boutwell Draper.
Entering the tenth year of the millennia and ten international award winning architecture practices will be showcasing the productive media of architecture at the Redfern gallery this February.
Amongst the architectural works represented by both local and international practices, who have previously come out to Sydney to run Urban Islands workshops – are Smout Allen, Studio Sumo, Lean Productions, Iwamoto Scott and Morphogenesis.
Curated by Tom Rivard, one of the founders of Urban Islands, the exhibition celebrates the creative ‘artefacts’ that architects produce in the process of conceiving, developing, communicating and constructing architecture.
An additional ’sideshow’ in the upstairs gallery will feature the work of nine emerging talents all recent graduates, award winners and up-and-coming architects.
The exhibition will run from the 11 February until 6 March 2010.
