📍 EOI for ‘Unmapping/Remapping’ Workshop now open 📍

‘Unmapping/Remapping’ is an exploration of how we navigate public space run by @counterpose_archives and @whywaite.design .

Centred on Boonwurrung and Woiwurrung Country, specifically Yálla-birr-ang and Ngár-go (Collingwood and Fitzroy), this workshop and accompanying exhibition is an invitation to actively engage with the hidden cultural, spatial and ecological histories of the land we stand on.

Much of how we experience our neighbourhoods is dictated by graphic interventions, ecological absence and cultural storytelling, frequently embedded in public wayfinding and placemaking systems. Working directly with curated archival materials, we invite workshop participants to think about how creative practice can subvert these spatial cues.

The workshop and exhibition is a space to learn, question and apply creative thinking to our own lives. Using the historical insights provided, and drawing on personal knowledge, participants will create co-designed counter-maps and wayfinding interventions, reimagining how we acknowledge and carry these narratives forward.

The accompanying exhibition pairs public archives with collaborative, creative responses, offering alternate ways to see, feel and live in our shared environment.

Join us next Friday 14th for the launch of Material, Map, Method by @sens___sens

Material, Map, Method is an exhibition at 3553 in Collingwood bringing together a strong cohort of local and international architectural practices, academics and designers leading the charge in material reuse at the scale of the component and the building.

Reuse asks something different of architects. It demands documenting the existing with the same care as the proposed, revealing opportunities not just within a project site but across the wider networks of materials, suppliers, consultants and regulations that underpin reuse. That documentation now takes many forms: drawing, but also hands-on making, open source publishing, digital tools and other emerging methods, all working to communicate material histories, navigate uncertainty, and coordinate the contingencies of building with what already exists.

The exhibition will be open for viewing from the 14–22nd of August. The opening celebration will be held on the 14th of August from 6pm onwards.

The exhibition is supported by project partner The Naarm Architecture Foundation and support from The Mori Provan Foundation.

Photos from the recent “Who Owns The City?” exhibition @threefivefivethree curated by Dr Jacqui Alexander with @monasharchitecture masters students.

Australia’s housing system has become a key driver of inequality.

Through counter mapping practices and data sleuthing, students constructed a forensic picture of landownership in inner Melbourne where escalating real estate values and the demolition of public housing stock continues to displace marginalised communities.

Through a series of risograph printed maps, pamphlets and flyers, the project investigates parcels of land partially insulated from the speculative market and asks if these sites could be leveraged for subsidised and non market housing opportunities.

The emphasis on printed matter in this show reframes architecture in line with its civic obligations through public engagement and dissemination practices.

The project is adjacent to a funded research project by Jacqui Alexander and housing economist Cameron Murray.

It was made possible by the generous support of @monasharchitecture @threefivefivethree and the enthusiasm and hard work of the students. Thank you to all who came to see and celebrate it.

Sample Size by @__doworks explored the economy, circulation, and lifespan of materials, with a particular focus on architectural samples and objects of everyday use.

The exhibition considered how these fragments can be reimagined through acts of collecting, repurposing, and assembly. By using objects as case studies, the project highlights the entangled systems—economic, cultural, and material—that shape how resources move through and shape our built environments. Together, the participating practitioners open a dialogue about reuse, demonstrating how free and often overlooked, disregarded materials hold latent value and potential. In presenting the objects as both practical and poetic, the project seeks to propose alternative systems of knowledge and design thinking, foregrounding how reuse can generate new cultural and material futures.

Ten Eighty by @matt.dunne + @tallpoppypress

Since the arrival of white people, the Dingo has been one of the most persecuted animals in Australia - the target of shooting, trapping, poisoning, myth-making and scorn.

In Ten Eighty, Matt Dunne acts as a witness to the ongoing colonial war against the Dingo - an animal that is simultaneously protected and legally destroyed en masse in Australia. The exhibition challenges audiences to ask why we still treat some native wildlife as “pests” to be destroyed rather than vital parts of our ecosystem. The exhibition focuses on the animal, the tools of its destruction and what thrives because of the killing: feral animals, unsustainable farming and a sense of emptiness.

To this day, governments in Australia seek to eradicate the animal completely, whether by sanctioning shooting, enabling trapping or paying for widespread poisoning campaigns using 1080 - a poison so indiscriminate, toxic and painful it is banned in nearly every country that is not Australia. Multiple governments continue to pay for the construction of fencing to keep Dingoes away from sheep, leading to Australia having the longest fence in the world - over 5,500km - a fence so vast it is longer than the distance from Perth to Sydney. An ecological barrier so pervasive differences in landscape caused by the fence can be seen from satellite.

At the core of this exhibition is the animal - a canine trying to do what it’s always done: explore and find a meal.

Join us for the launch of aqua nullius, a publication that dismantles the colonial myth of “nobody’s waters” by centring the voices of First Nations people.

Opening Friday 10 April 6-9pm
Floor Talk Saturday 11 April 3pm

This book focuses on the concept of aqua nullius, the attempted application of the falsehood of terra nullius to water. It highlights the voices of First Nations people interviewed from across Australia about their cultural relationships to water.

“This book is a body of water. In these pages lies a collection of words, printed on to paper, pooling together here like the confluence of a river. Each stream of vibration carrying meaning, from thoughts, to sounds, to shapes, arriving through their respective Country and the bodies, hearts, blood and mind of each custodian. Each speaker has held this knowledge in relationship to kin and community for thousands and thousands of years in an unbroken stream.” Jack Mitchell (editor)

This is a publication of over 20 interviews structured around four key themes: storytelling, water injustice, First Nations water management, and overturning aqua nullius.

Contributors include; Alex Bond, Colleen Raven Strangways, Dave Wandin, David Collard, Erin O’Donnell, Hozaus Claire, Jack Mitchell, Jim Everett, Joseph Williams Jungarayi, Josie Douglas, Kazan Brown, Maureen O’Keefe, Melissa Kennedy, Norman Frank Jupurrurla, Oliver Costello, Sophia Pearce, Sue Jackson, Tony Birch, Troy McDonald, Noel Nannup, Virginia Marshall.

The exhibition, curated by @___office , @u____p , and @samsonossedryver_studio , brings the book’s themes to life through paintings, poetry, film, and artifacts that further explore First Nations’ deep connections to fresh water.

Writing Space
Opening Friday 13 March 6-9pm

Writing Space was a summer creative writing workshop series at (and around) 3553, hosted by writer and researcher Ange Crawford. The series invited writers, designers, artists, and participants to explore spatial writing—using text to engage with non-places, liminal zones, and other in-between spaces. Through discussions and exercises, participants investigated how writing can act as a tool of resistance and attentiveness to our surroundings.

The resulting works, dispersed around the gallery, move beyond traditional formats, drawing on Ursula K. Le Guin’s carrier bag theory of fiction. Each piece responds to the gallery, nearby urban environment, and shared moments of reading and writing, creating interconnected reflections on place, context, and the relationships between text, space, and community.

Fire, Water, Building
Opening Friday 20.02 from 6pm onwards.

How to build with fire and water in a time of risk aversion?

“Fire, Water, Building” reimagines architecture’s relationship with nature, shifting from risk aversion toward a more deliberate engagement with these elemental forces. Set against the backdrop of recent environmental crises—bushfires, building fires, and floods—the exhibition examines safety-driven design paradigms and the regulatory logics that shape contemporary practice. In their place, it calls for a more nuanced, historically informed, and ecologically attuned understanding of how humans inhabit shifting environments.

Bringing together 13 practices working creatively with fire and water, the exhibition assembles projects, research, and speculative works that propose alternative ways of building, caring, and living with risk, where Fire and Water aim to be understood, negotiated, and designed with.

The exhibition also features work by RMIT Architecture students, alongside an extended literary library on fire and water curated by Melbourne Art Library.

With thanks to RMIT School of Architecture & Urban Design for their support.

Field of Limbs by @ninanervegna & @un___furl investigates how architecture might care for non-human life in Fishermans Bend. It proposes a network of modular prostheses—attached to urban infrastructure—that perform ecosystemic functions and attract bees, bats, birds, and butterflies. This elevated pollination system is imagined in collaboration with CitiPower, councils, ecologists, and community members. Drawing on design research across fieldwork, cartography, modelmaking, critical writing, geopoetry, and sound, the project contributes to more-than-human urbanism and non-anthropocentric architectural ethics. At 3553, these ideas were spatialised through a field of objects suspended from the gallery’s ceiling and fastened to its pipework: models, drawings, planted orbs, and a looped soundscape. It is not a show of solutions, but of situated propositions—machines for attunement, offered in a mood of quiet care. by @threefivefivethree
