note = "exhibition design Research Background The exhibition catalogue states: “WORKAROUND engages with a movement of women focused on advocacy and activism within an expanded field of architecture. Each of these practitioners works towards positive change in the built environment and its surrounding cultures. Motivated by the increasing urgency of the challenges we all now face – environmental, social and professional – these women work around existing conventions, systems and structures.” The exhibition design installation responded to this brief by asking: how can exhibition design provide a platform for diverse programs, display people, and encourage activitism? Research Contribution The exhibition is innovative as it exhibits the practitioners, and in doing so, brings the content to life. The exhibition design supports this, as curator Kate Rhodes says, “through the broadcast environment the people doing, discussing and exploring their extraordinary practices rather than 'showing' an extraction or representation of their work.” In particular the design creates three zones: the broadcast space of the entry corridor, an inverted editing suite, and the main gallery space. In doing so, it exhibits a high degree of originality. 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. Applications for Design Hub are peer-reviewed from academics at RMIT with further guidance from its curators, including the Head of Architecture at Monash Naomi Stead. Its significance was recognised through coverage on ABC News Radio. MDQLTY\_V; WORKAROUND ; Conference date: 25-07-2018 Through 11-08-2018",
