Bauhaus Australia: Transforming Education in Art, Architecture and Design. This project aims to examine the influence of Bauhaus-inspired émigrés on Australian cultural life. An under-examined but profound influence on Australian cultural history was the forced migration of émigré and refugee modernists from Germany and central Europe, who transformed art, architectural and design education from the 1930s to the 1970s. German and central European training, inspired by the Bauhaus, centred on sys ....Bauhaus Australia: Transforming Education in Art, Architecture and Design. This project aims to examine the influence of Bauhaus-inspired émigrés on Australian cultural life. An under-examined but profound influence on Australian cultural history was the forced migration of émigré and refugee modernists from Germany and central Europe, who transformed art, architectural and design education from the 1930s to the 1970s. German and central European training, inspired by the Bauhaus, centred on systematic approaches to pictorial method and design, colour theory and art education, all underwritten by an all-encompassing social ambition. This project aims to provide a new cross-disciplinary history of modernism in Australia that shifts focus from solo contributions to the networks of education, where modernism’s impact was most public, widespread and influential.Read moreRead less

Summary
Translating ambiance: restorative sound design for urban soundscapes. This project aims to address the issue of sensory overload caused by noise pollution, which can be a significant stressor and threat to wellbeing. The project expects to produce innovations in the area of urban soundscape design by combining biophilic design and ambiance theory. Expected outcomes of this project include new techniques for the creation of sound art installations that advance the effectiveness of urban renewal i ....Translating ambiance: restorative sound design for urban soundscapes. This project aims to address the issue of sensory overload caused by noise pollution, which can be a significant stressor and threat to wellbeing. The project expects to produce innovations in the area of urban soundscape design by combining biophilic design and ambiance theory. Expected outcomes of this project include new techniques for the creation of sound art installations that advance the effectiveness of urban renewal initiatives. This project should provide significant benefits, such as improving the quality of life in urban centres by producing restful and restorative places, and identifying pathways for the involvement of creative practitioners in the design and management of the built environment.Read moreRead less
Artistically rethinking creative coding for digital media. This project will investigate improved workflows to support the creative exploratory power of creators of interactive media experiences for public events, galleries, stage shows and installations, which increasingly involve complex networks of devices, such as interacting audio, visual and sensor elements. It will innovate digital creativity techniques to enable creators to move from brittle problem solving tasks to a creatively fertile ....Artistically rethinking creative coding for digital media. This project will investigate improved workflows to support the creative exploratory power of creators of interactive media experiences for public events, galleries, stage shows and installations, which increasingly involve complex networks of devices, such as interacting audio, visual and sensor elements. It will innovate digital creativity techniques to enable creators to move from brittle problem solving tasks to a creatively fertile exploration of design outcomes. The research is expected to result in new models of creative practice, and more productive support tools for practitioners, for whom development costs are a significant limiting expense.Read moreRead less
