Black
soil, volcanic craters, salt lakes and grassy plains – that’s Kanawinka – the
subtly beautiful land around the little town of Beeac – Gulidjan country.
Motivated
by the sense that an open canvas and distinct culture are perhaps easier to
find in the regions – in 2015 two cohorts of RMIT architecture studio students
descended on the little town of Beeac, approximately 170 km south-west of
Melbourne: 20 minutes to the Otways, 40 to Lorne and 45 to Ballarat.
The
students’ brief on each occasion of their regional explorations was to
investigate this context, cultural and physical, prior to responding to design
of short stay residential artist retreat/research post on an area of
nearly two hectares along Lake Beeac.
This theoretical exercise has produced some
startling responses to the site.
A sample of these responses and plans will be
presented by ‘the lakes project’ participants on Saturday 7 November at
WINDOWSPACE-BEEAC, 79 Main Street, Beeac at 1 pm. An installation of elements
engaged will be available to view in WINDOWSPACE-BEEAC from Saturday 31 October
until Sunday 29 November 2015.
