Situations | Architect Brew Koch| DOA Guest Lecture

Join us to hear about the work and thought of Architect Brew Koch. They are a Melbourne-based architecture studio led by Peter Brew and Simone Koch. Their award-winning work, including Spring Creek Road Farm House, focuses on biodiversity, site-sensitive residential architecture, and developing non-market social housing models.

This talk supports a Bachelor of Architecture Studio curated by Eric Yuen: Standards and Living

Australia has on average the biggest houses in the world. In contrast, Hong Kong has some of the smallest dwellings. Through comparing rooms (and by extension living units) of housing projects in these two contexts, the studio hopes to look at dwellings from the room out to reconsider our preconception of standards of living. In this studio, we will not take rooms as a prescriptive function; rather, we will be interested in the room, its scale, our movement through room to room, how they are defined from the objects within, relate to the world outside, and eventually touch the ground.

The Department of Architecture Guest Lecture Series presents the diverse guests who visit us to talk, teach and research the complexities of architecture today.
