Of all the tricks in a designer's toolkit, paint is perhaps the most transformative.

From a robotic laboratory in Australia to the magnificent Eden View residence in New Zealand, the winning entries of the 2022 awards continue to raise the bar set by former champions.

Having only conceptualised a proposal […]

Buku is located in a small Aboriginal community called Yirrkala, the place referenced in the exhibition’s title, which is approximately 700 kilometres east of Darwin, the capital of Northern Territory in Australia.
