Explore innovative visions for the future of housing through the State Design Book: University Showcase Exhibition, a travelling exhibition presenting student and research projects from Victorian universities.
The State Design Book is a three-part book that demonstrates examples and techniques to achieve great housing design, and the principles that underpin them.
This exhibition focuses on Part 3: The University Showcase, featuring projects that respond to the design principles outlined in the State Design Book and explore creative approaches to housing delivery in real Victorian contexts. Developed in collaboration with Victorian universities, the showcased work highlights the skill, imagination and innovation of Victoria's future designers.
