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.
