Emphasis was placed on vertical integration of year groups.<\/p>\n<p>Students seldom get to handle and use real materials or are asked to make real-time decisions as a part of a design process. We are not Luddites but you need the real to inform the virtual!<\/p>\n<p>I am convinced of the need to explore the design process through real time invention and proposals made in a free and non-institutional environment. So, we explored in collaboration, with uncertainty and anarchic freedom. This contrasts, deliberately, with a system obsessed with prescribed learning outcomes and risk minimisation.<\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t have prescribed outcomes\u2014we didn\u2019t have a plan\u2014we only went with the desire to explore the site, the materials and the potential for poetry therein.<\/p>\n<p>The only tools provided were simple hand-tools and fixing methods avoided nails or screws, relying simple carpentry joints and zip ties.<\/p>\n<p>The Bush Studio was inspired directly by \u2018Studio in the Woods\u2019 \u2014 founded by Piers Taylor (Invisible Studio, UK) as well as other examples of such practice, e.g. Auburn University Rural Studio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Justin Owens<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Lecturer<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Course Coordinator, Architecture (Undergraduate)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n<section          class=\"block block--no-indent iframe \"\n         role=\"complementary\" aria-label=\"Iframe content\"\n         data-segment=\"all\">\n\n    \n<div class=\"block-heading\" data-segment=\"dom\">\n                                <h2 class=\"block-heading__title \" id=\"virtual-tour\">Virtual Tour<\/h2>\n            \n                        \n                        \n                            <\/div>\n\n            <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/my.matterport.com\/show\/?m=Q6Hw3rEAqPF\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\"\n                style=\"width:100%; height:600px\"><\/iframe>\n    \n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bush Studio was a project led by Justin Owen as a means to engage architecture [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":248,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":33,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[37,35,36],"class_list":["post-229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-33","tag-architecture","tag-bush","tag-studio"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/dbe-exhibitions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/dbe-exhibitions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/dbe-exhibitions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/dbe-exhibitions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/dbe-exhibitions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/dbe-exhibitions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/dbe-exhibitions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/dbe-exhibitions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/dbe-exhibitions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/dbe-exhibitions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
