So these ‘silver balls’ tell me this is the Rundle Mall, great photo, and you can
see the photographer Anthony Balsamo in the reflection.
The red sign in the background advertising the black fizzy
drink gives it away…..Kings Cross it is!
Our little Dulux man seems to be in a hurry. …where is he going?
Perhaps he is heading off to the award winning 5-9 Roslyn Street by Durbach Block Architects.
Thanks Jacqui!
We asked our EmAGN representatives to help get on board with the 2011 Dulux Study Tour by
taking the model and billboard, place it in strategic locations; near iconic buildings, spaces or venues and take a photograph of it.
Hugh from Tasmania has given us a taste of what is to come…
What do you think? Looks like it was a beautiful day in Hobart!
We are excited to announce that the 2011 Dulux Study Tour is now open for entries. This amazing opportunity to see the architectural sites of Europe in May 2011 is open to all emerging architects and graduates (within 10 years of graduation).
The Dulux Study Tour provides a wonderful opportunity through an intensive visit for young architects – who are clearly intending to be leaders in our profession – to gain exposure to recent projects in London, Barcelona and new for 2011, Copenhagen – and to interface with some of the top architectural practices in those countries.
ENTER NOW – Even if you have entered the competition in previous years and been unsuccessful, you are still
eligible to enter again. Stage One of the entry process is a simply online submission, including answering a few statements about yourself.
RECOMMEND A COLLEAGUE – Entry is also open to non-members*, so feel free to spread the word to your graduate colleagues.

* All entrants that are successful in stage one must complete a stage two submission to be eligible to win. This includes a recommendation from a member of the Australian Institute of Architects.
After the group parted company in Barcelona, I returned to London for few more days to continue the grand tour on my own. I stayed with an old colleague from Sydney now working in London who was kind enough to secure me an invite to AHMM’s 21st Birthday Party at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea (by AHMM). A fun night (with another room full of architects), and I even ran into Ken Allinson (from Day 1). What a small town London is.
I have been asked quite a few times since arriving home what the highlight was and I still don’t have a good answer. Indeed, quite a few highlights spring to mind – experiencing the machinery of Fosters and Rodgers; stumbling upon an Amanda
Levete building in London; hugging a column at the Barcelona Pavilion; climbing amongst the soaring arches of Segrada Familia; and then ending the tour by being invited so warmly into the studios of Miralles Tagliabue, Carme Pinos and Carlos Ferrater. Meeting these people and seeing these works are individually all big moments in an architects’ development, but collectively the experience was immense.
I have come out of the Study Tour re-energised, my passion for architecture reaffirmed and ready to dive back into practice. A big thanks to all the sponsors and the Institute for putting on such a great show, and a special thankyou to the guys from Dulux – Phil White and Jason Anderson, along with Mel Medcalf from the Institute.
This has been a great experience and I would encourage any architect to do what they can to be involved in the next tour.
