Each architect team was asked to invite a photographer to create a suite of portrait photographs in response to a defined brief. The experimental exploration of identity through creative process is matched to the more immediate form of photographic portraiture. Variously incorporating photographic, video, and three-dimensional elements mounted in the gallery space, the installations are evocative and open-ended. The installations can be considered as a self portrait of the architects’ practice.

The exhibition excludes traditional architecture models and plans. The everyday work of each architect team is marked by their unique personality, attitude and aesthetic.Įach architect team was asked to create an installation that reflects their creative philosophy. As a group, they represent a diversity of scale, working from different locations in Australia. The selection of the participating architect teams was based on the original nature of their practice. Portraits + Architecture explores the thinking that informs creative architecture practice rather than the details of specific buildings or architectural projects. We are increasingly aware of the impact of the built environment on our daily lives, how the design of our dwellings, workplaces and public spaces affects our psychological and physical wellbeing. Many architects, designers, artists and writers are interested in how issues of sustainability and ethics relate to innovation and creativity in technology, aesthetics and functionality. In the twenty-first century the social, cultural and ecological imperatives of architectural practice resonate strongly with artistic, philosophical and sociopolitical ideas and actions. The photographers work across a spectrum of fine art, commercial, and design practice and have produced bold and original photographic portraits for the exhibition. They have made significant contributions to Australian architecture and design culture. The architect teams are known for their contemporary and highly distinctive work.
