Bouncing Back - Resilient Design for Brisbane

Bouncing Back

Resilient Design for Brisbane Exhibition 22 - 29 July

Bouncing Back is an exhibition showcasing interpretations of urban resilience by QUT 2nd and 4th year undergraduate architecture students.

Some of the work explores the notion of 'Bouncing Back' from the 2011 Queensland floods, while other work focusses on 'Urban Resilience' as a unique design response to adversity. All work is designed in the context of the contemporary or future Brisbane built environment.

Design solutions have been expressed in a variety of forms including emergency shelters, flood-proof housing and a range of urban designs, addressing changing social, cultural, political, technological and environmental conditions.

A keynote presentation will be provided by John Cameron one of Queensland’s most accomplished sustainable architects.

Sponsors will also showcase resilient building materials, design assistance and specialised consultancy services to improve the resiliency of the future built environment.
