About the exhibition
Experience the transformative potential of architectural design and its pivotal role in shaping communities and shifting perspectives of housing today.
From digitisation and material innovations to water sensitive design, new approaches to housing typologies, and the vital role of community involvement in design and planning conversations, this exhibition proposes a future with a purposeful approach to the built environment.
Purpose built is an immersive exhibition consisting of large-scale installations developed with research groups from The University of Queensland’s School of Architecture, Design and Planning.
This exhibition is a joint initiative of The University of Queensland and State Library of Queensland.
