The Student Architecture Festival is a student-run event held annually by the Australasian Student Architecture Congress.
Returning to Brisbane for the first time since 1991, the 2022 instalment, “Occupy,” aims to explore what it means to be an architect today and to compile a list of solutions for how to improve the architecture of the future.
The five-day program, running 26 to 30 September, includes a series of workshops, exhibitions, presentations and conversations at Vacant Assembly in Brisbane’s West End. “Occupy” will showcase projects, processes and discussions across various disciplines and scales that demonstrate meaningful connection to place.
The festival is a “dialogue of poetics and pragmatism with individuals of collective ambitions, offering tools to contribute to, expose, celebrate, extend, challenge and debate the ideas and visions born here and elsewhere,” the congress said.
The purpose of the festival is to look through the lens of “context” and the issues this poses for achieving good architecture. It will examine the pluralistic demands now placed on the industry and attempt to ascertain the direction it should take.
Speakers include Ash Sakula and Patrick Lynch (Lynch Architects), Other Architects, Future Method Studio, Naomi Stead and many others.
“Occupy” is an entirely independent, student-led event and is not affiliated with any institution.
