$$ \text{\LARGE\textbf{AUSTRALIA 2026}} $$

Studio goes Down Under : Australia is a large lands mass shaped by extremes arid interior landscapes/outback and dense coastal cities, ancient Indigenous cultures and colonial settlements, landscapes of extraction and cities of finance. This trip will traces this tension across space and history, reading architecture as both witness and agent of transformation.

From its beginnings as a British penal colony to the systematic exploitation of Aboriginal people to the current first world developed country scene. Australia evolved through mining frontiers into a resource rich nation, and later into a globalised urban economy. Gold, coal, and minerals created interior outback mining towns while cities like Sydney and Melbourne grew along the coast, accumulating power, people, and capital. Today, more than three-quarters of Australia’s population lives in major coastal cities leaving much of the continent sparsely populated yet politically, ecologically, and culturally charged.

This journey moves between these conditions: from the dense urban fabric of Sydney and Melbourne to the arid, mineral-scarred landscapes of the outback. We will study how architecture responds to climate, distance, extraction, and urban concentration and observe how built form negotiates history, land, and power.
