The Urban Islands studio is happening again SOON. Last year in the studio, run through Sydney University, students worked on projects that explored the industrial ruins of the site, the topography of the already tunnelled, chiselled and warped landscape, and constructed a stunning installation in the turbine hall.
Guest tutors this year are:
Morphogenesis, Supasudaca, and Sumo. (All of whom will be speaking at the next Pecha Kucha as well by the way...)
Kickstarting the event will be a syposium at Sydney University on Monday July 16th and will tackle everyone's favourite myth, that of "Bourgeois Myths and the Industrial Landscape". Indeed these are my favourite kinds of myths and I am sure yours too so make sure you get in early!
The Review day is on Saturday July 28th and will take place on Cockatoo Island. If you have never been out to Cockatoo Island, this is a fantastic opportunity to rummage among the abandoned industrial radness as well as seeing some interesting student work and to have a few beers in the setting sun.
