Design competition invites students to reimagine a Robin Boyd project

The Robin Boyd Foundation has announced the upcoming launch of a residential design competition, inviting architectural students to reinterpret the site of Boyd's Walsh Street House in Melbourne through a contemporary lens.

The 2024/2025 competition will be judged by national business development manager for Brickworks Building Products, Eve Castle; senior lecturer of Architecture and Urban Design at Melbourne's RMIT University, Dr Christine Phillips, and Gerard Reinmuth, director of Terroir and Professor of practice in the School of Architecture at the University of Technology Sydney.

Students enrolled in an architectural course at an Australian university during 2024 are eligible to apply for the forthcoming competition.

The successful entrant will win a trip to Venice, Italy, to experience the Vernissage of the 2025 Architecture Biennale.

Entries will be accepted from Monday 2 December 2024. The submission portal will close on Monday 3 February 2025. An online information session will be held on Monday 2 December.
