Winners of the Paul Pholeros Architecture Scholarship 2024

The recipients of the Paul Pholeros Architecture Scholarships 2024 are Frank Hollingsworth from Toowoomba and Almo Troup from Melbourne.

Huge congratulations to both.  The PPF welcomes you to the team and is looking forward to supporting you in your studies over the next 12 months.

Once again there was a variety of topics in the applications. We thank all who applied and we hope you will continue to pursue your passions.

 

Frank Hollingsworth.  Shade Structures for Northern Australia: A Typological Study.

Frank will be focussing on one of the many social purposes of architecture ie the creation and amplification of public spaces.  His research will examine existing shade solutions as part of urban planning and architectural strategies to mitigate heat in hotter and tropical climates. The study aims to develop a resource containing a range of options that will aid residents and local councils to address improvements in their own public spaces.

 

Almo Troup. Reviving Our Resources

Almo’s study will address the resource consuming and increasingly unnecessary production of virgin building materials, to be replaced with increased use of recycled or recyclable materials. Building on information and experiences from design professionals and industry leaders in fields of waste utilisation, Almo will produce a video to illustrate how building waste can be channelled into practical and beautiful architectural objects.
