Program Info
This session was originally presented as part of The Architecture Symposium: Housing Futures (2020).
The Architecture Symposium: Housing Futures presents a curated selection of contemporary Australian architects whose projects respond creatively to the spectrum of housing challenges and opportunities. We have, as a profession, an opportunity to step confidently from turbulent times into a future where we take the lead on the transformation of the urban, suburban and regional residential environment. The Architecture Symposium will highlight projects that are already doing so, opening directions for the profession and stimulating new ways of living. Financing, procurement models, housing typologies, sustainability and cost-effective strategies will be considered, all delivered to a benchmark of exceptional architectural quality. The presentations will provide a concise survey of current projects, viewed through four lenses: alternative housing models, the integration of social agendas, emerging directions in market-based housing and compact housing.

Alternative Housing Models
In a context of necessarily increasing density, alternative housing models serve to introduce flexibility and diversity into the multiresidential sector, exemplified by collaborative development models such as Nightingale and Baugruppen, and by emerging build-to-rent schemes. In this session we will explore these new models and the architectural strategies that accompany them, while considering their current status and how they are likely to evolve. -

Clare Cousins established Melbourne practice Clare Cousins Architects in 2005. Based on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Eastern Kulin Nation, the studio is engaged in projects large and small including housing, workplace, and cultural projects.

He is a Churchill Fellow who investigated alternatives to conventional models of urban design, resulting in a research project entitled “Shall We Dense,” an examination into the state of modern density living in Australia that led to successful collaborations within the professional and architectural realms.

Chris is also actively involved in education through the School of Architecture and Urban Design at RMIT University, as a design studio leader.
