Woodlines – Design: Naja Utzon Popov
Woodlines – Design: Naja Utzon Popov DESCRIPTION The Woodlines Rug Collection draws inspiration from nature and a study of wood and its attributes. Naja Utzon Popov has zoomed in on countless lengths of wood, magnifying the unique characteristics that contain a wealth of details and express the wood's character. The outcome - a familiar wood pattern presented on another material - creates a new expression with clear links to the source. The rugs stand out as elegant, fine-crafted works that add to a room's personality. Hand-knotted from wool, they feature long pile with a soft and luxurious feel. The rugs' tight weave makes them easy to clean and ensures that the pile remains straight and the pattern intact, even with heavy use. The collection consists of five unique designs in black, white and charcoal, and is available in three different sizes: 80x220 cm, 170x240 cm & 200x300 cm. THE DESIGNER Naja Utzon Popov inherited her creative genes from her grandfather, Jørn Utzon, a Danish architect known for designing the iconic Sydney Opera House in Australia; her mother, prominent Danish artist Lin Utzon; and her father, acclaimed Australian architect Alex Popov. Naja's childhood years in Denmark have always been an important source of inspiration for her work, as were the years she spent in Australia studying drawing, painting and etching at the Julian Ashton Art School. After moving to England, Naja continued her formal artistic training at the University of Westminster School of Media Arts and Design. Today, she lives in her native Denmark and works out of her studio in Copenhagen. -

The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia
The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia Author Amath, Nora Published 2014 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School School of Humanities DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/1953 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/367694 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia Nora Amath MA (Bond) BHSc (Honours) IIUM School of Humanities Arts, Education and Law Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2014 Abstract Muslim communities are among the least well understood in Australia. This thesis examines the emerging phenomenon of Muslim civil society organisations (MCSOs). In contrast to much publicised jihadist and radical groups, MCSOs are far more representative of Muslim communities and integral to the long-term position of Islam in Australia. Using descriptive phenomenology, this study presents the experiences of Australian Muslim civil society actors and the organisations they represent. Through 30 unstructured, in-depth interviews with 15 Australian MCSOs actors, their stories are told for the first time based on their lived experience and in their own words. In particular, this thesis explores how MCSOs have responded to the challenges of the Australian socio-political context, the perceived impact of these experiences, and how Islam is manifested within the contexts of these experiences. The key themes which emerged from these interviews include: community building, social inclusion, the impact of 9/11 and the negotiation of identity. -
Built Pedagogy Education Design Is a Specialised Field with Different
University of Melbourne New Building for the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning Expression of Interest Built Pedagogy Education design is a specialised field with different characteristics and benchmarks from other building types Paul Morgan Architects specializes in the design of university and TAFE buildings. A feature of the buildings is the idea of permeability: the activities of students and staff are revealed to passers-by. This animates the internal spaces and advertises the functions that occur within. It is about the ‘theatre’ of architecture, and can be seen in the Box Hill Institute Trade Facility and CGIT Learning Centre on this page. Advanced structural and servicing techniques are demonstrated in the proposed 6 Star Green Star Vicurban Chisholm project.

Australia's Top 10 Concrete Public Architectural Works Unveiled by Expert Panel
AUSTRALIA’S TOP 10 CONCRETE PUBLIC ARCHITECTURAL WORKS UNVEILED BY EXPERT PANEL August 26, 2019 What do the Sydney Opera House, the High Court building in Canberra and the main carpark at the University of Melbourne have in common? They have all been named among the top 10 most outstanding concrete public architectural works in Australia of the past nine decades. A judging panel comprising some of Australia’s best-known architects and building experts today unveiled the first ever list of the 10 most outstanding concrete public buildings in the country. The publication of the Top 10 List marks the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the organisation that represents the heavy construction materials industry, Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia (CCAA). The Top 10 List was announced at a ceremony held at the Sydney Opera House, which is one of the buildings or structures on the list, along with iconic national buildings such as the High Court of Australia in Canberra, and more recent works like the Punchbowl Mosque in Sydney. The other structures in the Top 10 List are: the Australian Academy of Sciences’ Shine Dome in Canberra; Australia Square in Sydney, which was the country’s first “round” skyscraper; the Gladesville Bridge in Sydney; James Cook University Library in Townsville; the Melbourne University Carpark; Victorian State Offices, also in Melbourne; and the Queensland Art Gallery, in Brisbane. The Chief Executive Officer of CCAA, Ken Slattery, said the Top 10 List highlighted the aesthetic, environmental, and social contribution concrete has made, and continues to make, to Australia’s urban landscapes since the organisation began nine decades ago. -

Australian Institute of Architects Annual Report 2016
Australian Institute of Architects Annual Report 2016 Architecture: stronger communities by design From the cover A City Transformed by Architectural Excellence Geelong City is emerging from difficult economic times unhelped by a poorly laid out 19th century civic centre. The award winning Geelong Library and Heritage Centre by ARM Architecture has revitalised the cultural precinct; providing function coupled to an iconic aesthetic. The design connects and enhances existing underutilised space providing multiple layers of value. This project clearly demonstrates how in this case, holistic design can transform the quaint concept of a ‘library’ into a vibrant and energised vertical village where the community can meet, collaborate, engage, learn and celebrate. The project’s pragmatic success is apparent in the record breaking visitor numbers that have exceeded all expectation. Geelong Library and Heritage Centre by ARM Architecture.

The Idealised Image of the Australian Home: a Myth in the Making
School of the Built Environment Department of Architecture and Interior Architecture The Idealised Image of the Australian Home: A Myth in the Making Irene (Oi Ling) Low This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University July 2015 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person, except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: …………………………………………. Date: ………………………. ii Abstract This thesis questions and challenges the idealised image of the Australian home in the context of architecture and the media. In the Australian public’s imagination, the house—as a social, cultural and architectural ideal—has a very important mythological role. This was especially true in the 1950s after World War II, when it was considered that a single-storey bungalow with its own garden and the constant presence of women in proper aprons, deftly wielding electrical appliances, were normative home ideals to which most Australians aspired. Stemming from a desire to expose and demystify the underlying idealisations of the Western home, this thesis questions the values and attitudes implicit in the variety of messages with which mass culture bombards society, with images that attempt to universalise and naturalise meanings and values. In a society avid for images, the concept of myth provides a basis for a critique of the ‘naturalising effect’ of ideology of the idealised image of the Western architectural home. By adopting the concept of myth as a theoretical position, this thesis speculates on the spectacle and images of the architecture, society and culture of the home.
