2000 Biennale - Exhibition Finalist - Jeremy Haldane
 Jeremy HaldaneThe University of Queensland Queensland College of Art |
Summary Statement The project title is 'Queensland College of Art'. The brief for this project is to provide a new location for the existing College of Art currently located at Morningside. It will require approximately 11 000 square meters to house the number of students anticipated to attend the college within the next five years. This is a diverse, multi-purpose building with many varied requirements within the brief. The design objective here is to construct a building, that while being on such a large scale, does not prevent people from being able to relate to each other, and to the rest of the building and site as a whole. There are also the large scale urban issues to deal with of making connections with the greater contextual area. This is particularly important as this site could be considered to be one of the 'cornerstones' of the city. |

Jury comments Jeremy Haldane's College of Art reveals an intriguing plan resolution of teaching and studio spaces to create a strong central courtyard. At the same time the designer has broken the program down into its constituent parts into a clear arrangement. In other respects though, such as the elevations, architectural form and architectonic expression the scheme seems to stop at a diagrammatic stage, somewhat short of full development. |
