Sydney South Central Winter Intensive

6 August 2012

During July, Master of Architecture students took part in Sydney South Central, a 26-day intensive design studio held in partnership with the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and funded by the UTS Deputy Vice Chancellor Resources, Patrick Woods.

Its remit was to look for new spatial opportunities arising out of urban transformations in the Ultimo precinct. The focus of its research was: What is the size of the urban quarter that the Ultimo Pedestrian Network (UPN) forms the spine of; what are the new interior spatial opportunities arising along the UPN for stakeholders; and what kind of temporal events might begin to animate the new public spaces being created in and around the precinct.
 
Tutors Tarsha Finney, Professor Richard Goodwin, Matt Chan, David Neustein, Marisa Yiu and Billy Feuerman along with local stakeholders have worked with 28 students to produce a range of responses, proposals and multi-scalar re-imaginations of the precinct that are contradictory, non-linear in narrative, and dynamic.
