EVENT
For Students By Students: Ground Matters will be a five day event held in
nipaluna/Hobart for students and recent graduates to engage in a diverse array of
informal discussions and activities which seek to interrogate what ground matters
means to us as individuals and to the architectural profession.
The five day congress program will be centered around a primary conference day at
which we will learn from an array of local, national and international architects. The
workshops with conference speakers will be held on accompanying days to further
explore conversation amongst peers which have arisen. Additionally, workshops will
explore local perspectives, including first nations engagement and local building tours
and experiences. Parties will be held each evening, continuing on the excitement and
camaraderie every day.
The unique natural environment of lutruwita/Tasmania serves as an ideal backdrop to
the congress. With spectacular and pristine landscapes at the doorstep of our cities, the
inextricable connections between nature and the built environment are ever present. If
architecture is the end, the ground is the beginning. So how can we reframe our
architectural thinking to ensure that ground is at the forefront of our work?
COMPETITION
For(e)ground is a competition that prefaces Ground Matters 2024 by inviting participants
to engage with the themes that will be explored during the week of the congress.
For(e)ground is a creative endeavour exploring the human nature relationship with the
ground as the foundation upon which we build our lives, structures, and civilisations.
The brief aims to provoke thought and emotion about our connection to the ground and
the intricate ways in which it shapes us and we shape it. We call for all creatives to
come together to share your best encapsulation of the rich and complex symbiotic
relationships we share with the ground we stand on. Whether through collage,
photography, rendering, painting, or sketching, the possibilities are limitless.
Check out our website for more details and registration information for the competition.
We have some great prizes on offer, including free tickets to attend the congress if you
win! Our jury members are Andrew Steen (UTAS), Alexandra Brown (Monash) and
Raymond Arnold, a local Tasmanian Landscape artist.
