This studio challenges students to design a gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art, focusing on an artist or performance-based artwork, with options for a museum, theatre, gallery, or concert hall. Through rigorous research, students explore how architectural design can integrate across scales and media, creating a cohesive aesthetic language that reflects the chosen individual's work. Projects delve into foundational elements of the artist’s discipline and work, pushing the boundaries of architecture as a medium and its relationship with contemporary art and other disciplines.

The Art, Instruments, Communication and Public Space studio explores the intersection of art, architecture, and public space in Auburn, Western Sydney. Through a two-part project, students design art interventions as "instruments" to enhance community engagement and empathy, first at a small public site near Auburn station and then at the larger Auburn Shopping Village. The studio emphasizes interdisciplinary methods, drawing and storytelling to create spaces that reveal histories and encourage a sense of belonging.

Design students are tasked with creating an embassy building in Nusantara, Indonesia's future capital. The embassy will include a chancellery and ambassador's residence, blending public and private spaces for diplomatic activities. Projects will explore how architecture can represent national identity while adapting to a foreign context with sustainability and security in mind.

This studio focuses on water as a scientific and symbolic element, inviting students to rethink water resources through an architectural lens. By applying Metabolism concepts to Cockatoo Island, students design a Museum of Water that embodies ecological and imaginative futures. The course highlights the intersection of Indigenous knowledge, environmental urgency, and architectural innovation.

This project focuses on designing regenerative spaces within the Redfern North Eveleigh Precinct to support mental health and healing, specifically for Headspace, the National Youth Mental Health Foundation. Students are tasked with creating innovative spaces for youth mental health services, emphasizing speculative and experimental designs that foster wellness and connections to self, community, and the environment. The project integrates considerations of built heritage and user experience to transform mental health spaces.

This project focuses on designing regenerative spaces that promote healing, specifically for a Headspace youth mental health service. Located at Tramsheds, Glebe Foreshore Parks, it explores how architectural transformation can influence mental wellbeing, with an emphasis on user experience and journey. The initiative blends practical considerations with speculative elements to challenge traditional concepts of mental and physical spaces.

This project, in collaboration with Twofold Aboriginal Corporation and the Monaro and Yuin People, explores how architects can authentically partner with Indigenous communities to honor ancient wisdom through co-design. By conceptualizing catalytic cultural hubs on the far South NSW Coast, the initiative aims to create spaces for education, creativity, and community dialogue, advancing regenerative and transformative architectural practices.

This studio challenges students to design a 21st-century mixed-use urban eco-settlement in Waterloo, Sydney, as a playful heterotopia that addresses social fragmentation and environmental issues. Drawing inspiration from 'New Babylon' and the Situationists' ideas, students will explore the creative potential of play as a means to create sustainable, connected, and empowering living environments. The project encourages the use of new technologies to develop a playful urban space that moves beyond the traditional capitalist focus on efficiency and productivity.

This studio explores contemporary climate change strategies and challenges neo-extractivist approaches through spatial speculation, focusing on the 'Lithium Triangle' in South America. Students investigate the potential of lithium in energy transitions and its environmental impact, questioning which ecosystems and lives are prioritized in preservation efforts. Projects aim to creatively redefine the life-death boundaries, crucial for shaping sustainable futures.

This studio challenges students to integrate structural elements as a fundamental part of their architectural designs, enhancing expression and meaning. Participants will design a standalone pavilion for Australia at the upcoming Osaka World Expo, using expressed structures to embody innovative solutions and reflect Australia's vision for a future society.

This brief tasks students with designing an inclusive temporary cultural venue in Taman Fatahillah, Jakarta's historic center. The project explores how temporary architecture can highlight social issues and serve as a form of civil expression, while bridging the city's past and present collective memories. The goal is to invigorate the area amidst Jakarta’s rapid urban changes.

At the culmination of their formal education in architecture, students of the Praxis studio were invited to contemplate how the next generation of architects should be taught. Each student designed a small school of architecture on Cockatoo Island (Wareamah) informed by a unique praxis and pedagogy addressing contemporary concerns, such as the climate crisis or AI.

This studio invites students to develop personal design briefs within four thematic research clusters: Decolonised Places, Architectures of Care, Housing Crises, and Circular Economies. Building on a Winter Intensive that critiques real-world architectural briefs, students create projects that are deeply personal and significant, fostering a collaborative and enthusiastic environment for research-based design exploration.
