In biological terms, the edge between two ecosystems is called an ecotone. In urban habitats, architects and urban planners must understand the importance of this edge as an ecosystem itself. The boundary between landscapes, urban and rural, the edge between different urban fabrics - all those areas have their own specificity and must blend or interact with its immediate environments in a special way. This boundary is not only physical but intellectual, and for instance, can be between two cultural inheritances. This seminar will explore these concepts through several examples of recent works by OAB that confront the circumstances of working at the edge - not only a physical edge but most importantly an intellectual one.
This presentation is equivalent to 1 hour/point of formal CPD and will deliver outcomes related to the following Competency/s from the National Standard of Competency for Architects: 2015 Competencies: Design: Pre-Design 2.2 Application of principles controlling planning, development and design for the project site.

Design: Schematic Design 4.2 Evaluation of design options against values of physical, environmental and cultural contexts. 2021 Competencies: Project Initiation and Conceptual Design: PC 18 Be able to apply creative imagination, design precedents, research, emergent knowledge and critical evaluation in formulating and refining concept design options, including the exploration of three dimensional form and spatial quality. PC 29 Be able to develop and evaluate design options in terms of the heritage, cultural and community values embodied in the site, and in relation to project requirements. PC 32 Be able to apply planning principles and statutory planning requirements to the site and conceptual design of the project. Detailed Design and Construction Documentation: PC 36 Be able to apply creative imagination, design precedents, emergent knowledge, critical evaluation and continued engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to produce a coherent project design.
