The Tin Sheds Gallery provides a platform for public debate about the role of architecture, design and planning in contemporary society through the production of research-led exhibitions, publications and related activities.
Exhibition: Thursday 17 June to Friday 30 July 2021
Emergence brings together decades of architectural research from the Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarship in an interactive exhibition and a series of public talks. Established in 1951, the scholarship is based on the belief that travel, across Australia and the world, is key to developing exciting new architectural ideas and continuing strong discourse throughout the profession. Drawing on this deep trove of knowledge, Emergence will showcase over 35 unique projects dispersed across a field of ‘fragments’. Paralleled in a digital twin, the show aims to foster curiosity in research, uncover previously unimagined connections and create a place for participants to dwell and discover.
