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.

New Directions in Market Housing
What a year. From boom times, through fire, flood and plague, economic hardship and the constant of our rapidly escalating climate crisis, it’s been a rollercoaster, but what does this mean for market housing? In looking at four market housing projects, we ask the architects what conditions they were addressing that no longer exist and what conditions have rapidly changed. We ask them to speculate – if you started this project again today, what would be different? What would you do differently? How should we think about the future of market housing? -
