TOUR 11 - UNIVERSITY PLACEMAKING

CURTIN UNIVERSITY 

The aim of this tour is to showcase learning environments that contribute to the sense of place at Curtin University, the largest Western Australian University. As one of the most multi-cultural universities in Australia, providing this sense of place is critical. To support this Curtin University developed a place-led approach to place activation, outlined in the 2012 Place Activation Plan. Activating the public realm, place programming and community integration are three of strategies that have been implemented throughout the campus. This site tour showcases projects that have emerged as a result of the Activation Plan. The focus of these tours is to understand how these projects came about. Representatives of Curtin will be on hand to explain the design process, the engagement with Curtin communities, and the outcomes of these projects.
