Major: Rmit Architecture Graduating Projects 2019-2022

RMIT Architecture is interested in ideas-led venturous design exploration that aspires to contribute to the future of our discipline and an increasingly complex world.

This publication contains a selection of RMIT Master of Architecture independent graduating projects from seven semesters between 2019 and 2022. It seeks to capture the ideas, pre-occupations, motivations and propositions of this cohort of architectural designers who are searching for new ideas and possibilities through design and by designing.

RMIT Architecture is interested in ideas-led venturous design exploration that aspires to contribute to the future of our discipline and an increasingly complex world. Architecture schools should be concerned with experimentation that challenges the orthodoxies of the discipline, as well as our underlying assumptions about what architecture is and what it should do next. Architecture schools should point towards possible futures not yet evident within existing understandings of the discipline or the profession. The significant challenges of our time are wicked problems, which require new ideas and transdisciplinary approaches. Architects need to find ways to contribute, be effective and have agency in situations in which architecture - in its expanded definition - is often considered to be a peripheral contributor.
