University campus
Curtin Exchange Innovation Precinct
A new civic heart for Curtin University, where campus life, research and public realm meet.
The brief
From car park to campus heart.
The Exchange reimagines the arrival experience at Curtin as a walkable, green precinct. Landscape sets the structure: a central spine of shaded gathering space, generous tree canopy, and level changes that knit new buildings into the existing campus grain.

The public realm is doing the heavy lifting: it is what turns a set of buildings into a place students actually want to be.Sample project narrative
