Elements of Architecture 2019
Abstract
Research Background. The third edition of the“Elements of Architecture” is the last event of this series which has aimed at investigating the character of the Gold Coast and its architecture through projects focusing on different aspects and locations. This exhibited work has built on the previous years and extended its scope. Again, the exhibition and catalogue document the current investigation of the Gold Coast and its architecture. Other researchers have worked in the same context. To cite the most notable: Special Issue of Architecture Australia dedicated to Gold Coast Jan-Feb 2018; Goad, P. (1997); Leach, Rickard, ...

This exhibited work has built on the previous years and extended its scope. Again, the exhibition and catalogue document the current investigation of the Gold Coast and its architecture. Other researchers have worked in the same context. To cite the most notable: Special Issue of Architecture Australia dedicated to Gold Coast Jan-Feb 2018; Goad, P. (1997); Leach, Rickard, Jones, (2015); Bosman, Dedekorkut-Howes, Leach (Eds.) (2016); Leach, (2015); Leach (2018) (new). The 2019 exhibition is expanding and reflecting on the knowledge acquired with the last two year events. The research question that have directed the work is: Considering the origin of the City of Gold Coast as a destination for weekenders, its climate, territory and linear urban morphology; how those parameters have shaped and been incorporated in GC architectural language and typologies? Research Contribution. The contribution of the exhibition to the field lays on the shift of perception of the architecture of the City of Gold Coast. With this year event, the contribution has expanded from the incorporation of unorthodox elements (2017); and reflection on the unique urban dimension of Gold Coast in 2018 to finally focusing on the climate and contextual conditions that have influenced the formulation of GC new architectural typologies. Research Significance The exhibition has been visited by many representative of the construction industry (i.e. architects) validating the impact and interest of the ongoing research in the local architectural community. The material has been collected into a catalogue and funded by Griffith University EBE School.
