Our 2019 competition designs for a new mixed use hotel and commercial tower at 4-6 Bligh Street, and the new school and community centre at Green Square are two Collins and Turner projects exhibited in LOST – an exhibition that uncovers and explores a series of unrealised concepts and propositions by a group of Sydney architectural studios. The exhibition is curated by FJMT principal Richard Francis Jones and UTS’ Brooke Jackson and takes place in the new UTS Central Exhibition Space. Displayed both to the campus and the community that passes by on Broadway, the exhibition aims to help restore life and vitality to campus and city life following the social and cultural effects of the Coronavirus.

“LOST concepts and urban propositions make up a significant body of work for most Sydney studios of architecture. These concepts are often provocative, explorative and convincing, yet remain in the speculative. LOST is an exhibition that uncovers and explores a series of these concepts and propositions by a group of leading Sydney architectural studios. Displayed in the UTS Central Exhibition Space these concepts will be made visible to spectators within the campus and on Broadway, generating a conceptual dialogue between community and city.

The exhibition opened this week and runs until 23rd April, including work by Candelapas Associates, Chrofi, Durbach Block Jaggers, FJMT, Neeson Murcutt Neille, Terroir and Tribe. The exhibition includes images and models made by Celeste Raanoja and Nikola Kovac @makemodels. Photographs by Celeste Raanoja.

The Bligh Street competition submission was prepared in collaboration with PTW and March Studio. The Green Square competition in collaboration with Wilson Architects.
