Air in motion - Iñaki Ábalos and Renata Sentkiewicz
On the 15 May, Iñaki Ábalos and Renata Sentkiewicz (Ábalos + Sentkiewicz, Madrid) looked at how a thermodynamic conception of architecture stresses the importance of air.
It demands to project the air and not just the materials, forms and iconography. This leads, to some extent, to a growing evanescence of the spatial systems which, in turn, leads to new ways to experience architecture. In fact, projecting the air gives prominence to the somatic experience of the subject.
Iñaki Ábalos is an architect and Professor of Architectural Design at GSD Harvard. Renata Sentkiewicz is an architect and Associate Professor of Architectural Project Design at the ETSAM, Madrid.
This session was presented by Luis Feduchi from UQ School of Architecture.

Peter Rich
Shane Thompson asks leading design thinkers about the projects they undertake outside his primary work practice, how these extra-curricular activities transfer across disciplines, and how they enrich all sides of life – both work and play.
In this instance, he speaks to Peter Rich (Peter Rich Architects, South Africa).
Peter's distinctive body of work is testament to a lifetime of commitment to the creation of a uniquely African architecture. He has been a pioneer in the documentation of the spatial and aesthetic elements of African tribal settlements and developed an architectural vocabulary that fuses Modernist principles with local tribal convention and sensitivity to material and environment. His practice is distinguished by a deep understanding of context achieved through sustained research into local conditions and close collaboration with communities.
When: Wed 3 Oct 2012, 6:00 pm - 07:00 pm
Venue: slq Auditorium 1, level 2

Timothy Hill
The APDL lecture series uncovers and explores the Side Project and the inspiration that exists outside the world of design.
Shane Thompson (2012 Queensland Smart Design Fellow) asks leading design thinkers about the projects they undertake outside their primary work practice, how these extra-curricular activities transfer across disciplines, and how they enrich all sides of life – both work and play.
Timothy Hill
Timothy's experience as an architectural practitioner has focused on being a generalist rather than a specialist. Although his firm, Donovan Hill is the most awarded Queensland architectural practice at a national level, their work has included many projects outside the typical architectural realm. This means that in addition to delivering various built outcomes such as; campus precincts, civic buildings, and multi-residential projects, he has been exposed to the operating realities of plans, schemes, overlays, incentives, initiatives, compliance schemes, and measurement tools. He is familiar with ideas becoming reality, or not. From this perspective, he has taught in university settings, and consulted to various Australian cities about master plans and master schemes.
The APDL lecture series is supported by Arts Queensland in the Department of Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts and proudly endorsed by QUEENSLANDERSIGN™, an initiative of the Queensland Design Council.

APDL Lecture Series: Searching, researching
NBMW Architecture Studio, Melbourne, was established by Nigel Bertram, Lucinda McLean and Marika Neustupny in 1997. The practice has since undertaken projects ranging from urban studies of small regional and coastal towns to inner city residential buildings. The work has a strong emphasis on site specificity and working across a range of scales to achieve far reaching economical outcomes, and it has been broadly published and awarded.
Marika Neustupny teaches at RMIT University in architectural design and urban research. She is co-author with Nigel Bertram and Shane Murray of By-Product-Tokyo, RMIT University Press. Lucinda Mclean currently teaches architectural design at both RMIT and Monash University in Melbourne. This session was presented by Andrew Wilson from UQ School of Architecture.
