Monday 4 June<\/a> The Upscale build event is approaching for 2018 and all SONA members can apply for free. It’s a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with your peers, architecture professionals and technical advisors and will work to foster a mentoring network for you.<\/p>\n Upscale is a fast-paced event and will run on 4 \u2013 8 June at the Griffith & Bond University in conjunction with the National Architecture Conference! As architects gather in the Gold Coast from around Australia it\u2019s a great opportunity to show what the country\u2019s architecture students can do. <\/p>\n As a program, students will gain insight into working with real clients and seeing their designs come to life through the build process. Once completed the models will be displayed in an exhibition for viewing by all the architects who attended the conference. It is also a fantastic networking opportunity and gives you one more reason to come along to the conference.<\/p>\n Organised by the Student Organised Network for Architecture (SONA), with thanks to national supporting partner Bondor<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dates (Duration):<\/strong> 4 \u2013 8 June Tuesday 5 June<\/strong>: Build day at Bond at the Work Shop Court Yard<\/p>\n Wednesday 6 June<\/strong>: Ceremonials – event closing at Bond \u2013 Forum Space<\/p>\n Location:<\/strong> Gold Coast \u2013 Griffith & BOND Universities SONA members are complimentary and non-members can sign up at a discounted rate via here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Spaces are limited numbers so<\/p>\n Register here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n This exclusive tour of Bond University’s Indigenous art collection followed by a panel discussion from guest speakers on Indigenous Place Making, will focus on how architects can engage with Indigenous knowledge and culture and how this can enhance the built environment.<\/p>\n The Corrigan walk art collection traces the evolution on Indigenous art from the traditional Western Desert Movement to contemporary styles and features the works of our most celebrated and revered Indigenous artists including Gloria Petyarre and the late Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Sally Gabori and Tommy Watson.<\/p>\n Confirmed speakers include:<\/p>\n Carroll Go-Sam<\/strong>; Carroll has research interests in Aboriginal architecture, public architecture, housing and identity themes drawing on professional experiences in rural townships in far-north QLD, the Northern Territory and south-east QLD.
