Nine individuals have been shortlisted for the Walls Around Us Student Competition, which invites architectural students to reimagine the site of Boyd’s Walsh Street House in Melbourne.
The successful candidate will be awarded a trip to Venice, Italy, to experience the Vernissage of the 2025 Architecture Biennale.
The competition was open to students enrolled in an architectural course at an Australian university during 2024. Entrants were required to conceptualise a contemporary design that engages with themes of circularity and reuse, yet also draws inspiration from Boyd: his ideas, interests and approaches to design. The jury responsible for reviewing the submissions comprises Christine Phillips, Eve Castle and Gerard Reinmuth.
The shortlist includes:
- Agnes Leonardi
- Alice Stewart
- Andy Wilson
- Charlie Eastwood
- Connor Harris
- Felix Tie
- Je Yen Tan
- Ming Hin Chung
- Yu Qin Tan.
The winner of the competition will be revealed on 13 March. An accompanying exhibition of shortlisted designs by Agnes Leonardi, Alice Stewart, Andy Wilson, Charlie Eastwood, Connor Harris, Felix Tie, Je Yen Tan, Ming Hin Chung and Yu Qin Tan will also be presented in 2025.
