This 12 months, the competitors theme was formed by Joel Alcorn and Chloe Middleton from Brisbane-based structure apply Alcorn Middleton, alongside SONA vice chairman Senlina Mayer.
In keeping with the inventive administrators, “The transient this 12 months challenged members to design for a future the place seven black monoliths have appeared – one on every continent. Of their presence, new economies, rituals, political programs and psychological behaviours start to kind. These silent lots have irrevocably disrupted the thought of public area. College students should now take into account: what new kinds of civic rituals, companies or responses might emerge?”

Its idea is imaginative but grounded, exploring each facet of the monolith’s spatial and systemic affect throughout each Sydney and Hobart. This proposal positions structure not merely as a product of tradition, however as an energetic participant in shaping it.”
Adopting a dual-city design method, the undertaking speculates on how divergent cultural and spatial behaviours may come up in response to the monolith’s presence. “Thoughtfully thought-about throughout scales, it challenges us to see the monolith not simply as an object, however as a catalyst for transformation, narrative and significant reflection inside various city contexts,” the jury famous.
