What a great opening night of the BE GradEx 2025! Congratulations to the 380 students who shared their work across six disciplines - the future of homes and cities are in capable hands 👏
Extreme urban heat, lack of affordable housing, inequities in our cities. Like me, you may worry about these huge social, economic, climate and health challenges. I am hopeful because the next generation of skilled, collaborative, empathetic problem solvers are taking on these huge challenges fearlessly across architectures, planning, construction and design at the UNSW School of Built Environment. Their excellent work is on display at BEGradEx, White Bay Power Station, 28-30 November. PLEASE GO! At the launch I loved meeting Hend Elkashouty (and her Y8 twin sisters ☺️) whose proposition for a community library for Rosehill was thoughtful, beautiful and inclusive. I was also inspired by Young Jiang's Edustack, a vertical school in a repurposed skyscraper, which just won first prize in the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) International Student Design Competition! 🎉 Congrats to all our graduating students. 🙏 Thanks to our many sponsors for supporting their exhibition. https://lnkd.in/gcnCACDp
