Art & Heritage Collections

The Architecture Collection features design work spanning 50 years to the very beginnings of what is today known as the School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Adelaide.

Until recently, this collection remained an undiscovered treasure in the School's storerooms, and includes many works by students who went on to become prominent Australian architects.

Art & Heritage Collections are working with the School to document and catalogue this fascinating and historically significant collection, which represents a snapshot of the development of architecture in South Australia dating
back to 1958.

To help celebrate 50 years of Architecture at the University of Adelaide - and as part of the official Adelaide Fringe program - items from the Architecture Collection are featured in a new exhibition, Designing Designers - the Evolution of an Architect.

The display is on level 4 at the School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design, North Terrace Campus, University of Adelaide, daily (except Sundays) from 9.00am-5.00pm, until 14 March.
