What’s On
This Program is a new initiative of the Australian
Institute of Architects (AuIA) Foundation, and reflects
their vision of architecture as fundamental to
Australian culture. It conveys the Foundation’s
ongoing commitment to supporting and
communicating the value of architecture as design
and encourages the exploration of new approaches.
AuIA invites applications from prominent architects
who can share in and contribute to this vision.
The Residency will be awarded to architects based
outside Australia who exemplify the highest standard
of excellence in architectural design, research and
practice. The program offers an exciting opportunity
for professionals to engage with the Australian public
and architectural community through a program that
includes a defined and self-directed architectural
research by design project, as well as seminars,
exhibitions and events.
