Living Together: Design Studio Exhibition

Brunswick is undergoing significant urban transformation, particularly along the Upfield train corridor, and its existing character is at stake.

Led by A/Prof Richard Black, the Living Together Design Studio with RMIT Bachelor of Architecture students explored a new housing typology for Brunswick, one that emerges from a reliance upon shared amenity. This applies to the interior, where residents share a laundry, a meeting room, or more and the exterior, where the sharing of air rights above an existing building may enable more opportunistic additions to the urban fabric.

The proposed housing typology for Brunswick responds to the suburb’s mix of industries, manufacturing, and creative practitioners, as well as emerging urban changes like housing densification and transport infrastructure.

The exhibition held at RMIT PlaceLab Brunswick from 18/11/2022 until 3/12/2022 was a culmination of the semester’s work. Congratulations to A/Prof Richard Black and all the students on their fantastic work!
