ABP Alumni Retrospective Series: kennedy nolan_a view
5-30 September
EXHIBITION
Established in 1999, Kennedy Nolan Architects has developed a reputation as a design focused practice with a distinctive approach to built form and a strong connection to site. Their work benefits from a multi-discipline approach to architecture. Graphics and sculpture inform and are incorporated into their work and the practice constantly explores the possibilities for colour and materials to generate architectural elements.
Kennedy Nolan’s exhibition in the Wunderlich Gallery features an expansive mural of black and white photographs of their built projects, a free-standing wall covered in luminous fabric and a low plinth-like wall displaying scale models of architectural walls. The installation reflects Kennedy Nolan's investigation into the art of the wall and their interests in the making of architecture: materiality, tactility, porosity, luminosity and visuality.
“An exhibition is a way to reflect on work, but also an opportunity to interrogate both the conscious and un‐conscious motivations, tendencies and practices that inform this work. Design at kennedy nolan is generated by the optimistic precepts of modernism ‐ rational, utilitarian, empowered by technology ‐ and a positive view that the design and arrangement of spaces can support and reinforce relationships, can add piquancy and zest to life. Less tangibly, the practice is also compelled to distil the impalpable – to draw on the numinous reaches of memory, the evocative power of recognizing form, colour, texture and light, the resonance of shared memories, of history and landscapes.” - kennedy nolan

EXHIBITION
God Knows is an exhibition by ARM Architecture for the ABP Alumni Retrospective Series. The series celebrates the work of ABP alumni and aims to highlight the extraordinary range and contribution they make to our design culture and built environment. ARM Architecture's Stephen Ashton and Howard Raggatt are alumni of the University of Melbourne and in 1988 they co-founded ARM Architecture with Ian McDougall. ARM has since become one of Australia's leading architecture practices. This intriguing exhibition is a conceptual representation of selected ARM works (both built and unrealised), the people and personalities behind the ARM Studio and the public and internal perceptions of ARM.

This installation re-presents past works produced by PHOOEY Architects and develops a useful dialogue which is likely to influence the processes for their future projects.

Established in 2004 with Emma Young, PHOOEY Architects aims to create zero waste and is entertained by the sobriety of global warming.
