The Urmadic City Project

Abstract

This publication presents five jointly written essays by Queensland College of Art. (QCA) Master of Design .Futures students. They were written after the students had designed and constructed two 'Urmadic City' installations for the Moving Cities: Moving People and Moving Minds exhibition presented at the inaugural Asia Pacific Design Triennial, Unlimited: Designing for the Asia Pacific, held in Brisbane in October 2010. The entire project, which spanned a year, was developed through two hothouse events, a public presentation, many discussion workshops, and a few frantic weeks of sourcing material and constructing exhibition installations on a shoestring budget.
