The idea of home is changing. Rising costs, new te

The idea of home is changing. Rising costs, new technologies and shifting ways of living are reshaping how Australians design, build and experience the spaces around them. From sustainable materials and smarter construction to flexible layouts that support work, family and community, the future of housing is already taking shape.

Join us on 2 March 2026 for a timely conversation on the changing idea of home. UTS Professor Anthony Burke, host of Grand Designs Australia, in conversation with architecture aficionado Tim Ross, will explore how the Australian dream is evolving across design, culture and the way we live.

This live event will include an opportunity for audience questions and discussion.

The Self-Directed studio offers the opportunity for students in their final semester to craft their own brief under the guidance of Masters Course Director, Brooke Jackson, whilst gaining input from industry professionals and academics akin to the chosen research topic. By forging a project that suits their own agenda Students will contribute to their portfolio of ongoing work, thinking beyond the walls of the Academy, and the future trajectory of their professional undertaking.

Liquid Curricula: Designing a Harbour School for Sydney

Sophie Lanigan, Sophie Lanigan Projects +Angela Xu, Hill Thalis

@sophielanigan_ @paintingshoe

mArch studio

The studio reimagines education as water governance infrastructure and challenges students to design a tidal classroom where academic learning, maritime vocational training and living infrastructure research converge. Working in pairs, the students have the opportunity to select from a list of 10 city-sea locations along the surf and harbour coast of Sydney. Students will engage with the NSW Government’s Connecting with Country framework, the recently reformed Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, the High Seas Treaty (entered force January 2026) and emerging scholarship around the rights of nature to design a space for young urban hydrocitizens to learn. The studio advances UTS’s urban equity strategic pillar by positioning public education as transformative. Through speculative yet realistic architectural propositions, the students will work to design a harbour school for our shared aquatic city.

Reframing Design: Deconstruction and Reuse in the Context of Sydney’s Built Environment II

Amy Seo, Second Edition

@secondeditionau

mArch studio

This Studio explores the deconstruction and reuse of building materials within the context of Sydney. Through the lens of industrial precincts and fabrication facilities, students will visit a series of workshops to document material flows and waste streams as active resources for design.

Students will engage with a process that challenges traditional design methodologies that seek to unravel the potential and feasibility of utilising traditionally discarded materials. By beginning the design process with materials rather than form or programme, the Studio introduces a resource-efficient mindset and promotes a shift toward circular design thinking.

Their second task will be to develop a new ‘no waste’ fabrication and material holding facility, where identified manufacturing waste material will be reintroduced through products or as building materials. The project positions the building as an active demonstration of material reuse, operating simultaneously as infrastructure, fabrication space, and public exemplar of circular construction practices for the local community.
