The University of Sydney Architecture Faculty invited Bennett and Trimble to design a new dedicated teaching studio for graduate and undergraduate students from all degree programs. A series of under-utilised store rooms, workshops and smaller studio spaces were consolidated to form a large open plan space to accommodate a range of programs including studio classes, reviews, lectures and exhibitions. A series of elements – a mobile screen, folding table and chair – can be quickly deployed and configured to support each program. Our strategy offered a budget conscious solution that retained and re-used many of the existing elements in the space including the lighting grid, workshop facilities, floor coverings and the services which were restored to their original colour scheme.
