Monash University and Emory University have teamed up to conduct research into the gender-responsive design of water and sanitation services for the world’s most vulnerable and marginalised living in urban informal settlements. This research sits within the Monash-led RISE program (Revitalising Informal Settlements and their Environments) which is currently in its co-design phase in Makassar, Indonesia.

Victorian Architecture Awards shortlist announced! -------------------------------------------------- Congratulations to our Monash University Professor of Architecture Nigel Bertram, #NMBW Architecture Studio and Studio Roland Snooks on making the Victorian Architecture Awards Heritage shortlist for the redevelopment of our Monash Art, Design and Architecture Buildings D, E and G at Caulfield. The comprehensive redevelopment of these spaces was undertaken in 2017 to deliver enhanced teaching, learning and research environments including cutting edge robotics, modelling and visualisation equipment. These new environments offer flexible indoor-outdoor work, study and research spaces that readily extend into adjacent ‘working courtyards’ and landscapes. The refurbishment adopts a sensitive approach to building adaptation - complementing the existing design language established by Denton Corker Marshall for Building G in 1999, and the heritage listed Classical Revival style of Building D, built in 1922. Larger openings throughout the precinct enable greater visual and physical connectivity across disciplines and work areas and facilitate increased daylighting of interior spaces. Four Monash projects made it onto the highly coveted shortlist including the Caulfield Library, Biomedical Learning and Teaching Building and Law Moot Court Precinct. All 248 entries are currently on exhibition at No Vacancy Gallery until 21 April. Winners will be announced at the official awards dinner on 28 June.

Great to see Taungurung artist, curator & Monash University #FineArt graduate Kate ten Buuren working with 10 emerging artists on dis rupt - a takeover of #HammerHall - part of the Yirramboi Festival 2-12 May. "dis rupt is a way of asserting ourselves as sovereign people in an institutional setting that is long overdue for young Blak voices to be heard within it," Kate said.
