N1 - Exhibition content, design and curation by Sibling Architecture. Research background: New Agency is an exhibition curated, designed and materialised by Sibling Architecture that explored the future of housing through the lens of an ageing population in Australia. I was one of the key project leads. This project is based in the field of architecture, exhibition design and curation. New Agency transformed Design Hub into a live research platform; gathering data, public conversations, design speculation and feedback about what constitutes home ownership during the later stages of life. The research question being: As the retirement of Australians relies upon the asset of the family home (with superannuation), and as home ownership is becoming an impossibility for a huge swathe of younger Australians, how does this influence future models of living for the elderly? Research Contribution: New Agency extends the field of architecture through two ways. First, it provides new research of how to design for an age-friendly city through the lens of investigating housing. This provides new knowledge around ways to adapt current and future housing models to respond to a rapidly ageing population in Australia. Second, the exhibition presented architecture research in an innovative way through comparative case study analysis through film, data, public programming and the display of collateral within the gallery. This is augmented by a survey that captures data from gallery patrons to feed back into the research of Sibling. Research Significance: The research is considered significant due to its quality as it was exhibited at one of the peak design exhibition locations in Australia. The project also received funding from Creative Victoria to develop the work. Applications for Design Hub are peer-reviewed from academics at RMIT with further guidance from its curators. Further, the project was approved for its ethics by RMIT's School of Architecture and Design, which ensures the research has an academic rigour applied to the development and output of this work. Its significance was recognised through coverage on ABC Radio National. MDQLTY - V
