How do architects respond to and shape the world around us? How can designers address challenges like sustainability during the design process? Join architect and founder of Architecture for Kids School Louise O’Brien to imagine, design and refine an architectural concept inspired by the 2023 NGV Architecture Commission (This is) Air, by Nic Brunsdon.

After discussing her design process and sources of inspiration, O’Brien will lead a series of scaffolded drawing activities, culminating in a larger design task that can be completed and shared after the session.

Students will:

  • Identify and discuss sources of inspiration for architecture including the 2023 NGV Architecture Commission, (This is) Air by Nic Brunsdon
  • Employ critical thinking capabilities to consider a design problem, considering issues of sustainability
  • Develop and articulate design concepts through scaffolded activities and an extended task
