The Living Places Exchange

A physical stage for RMIT’s Living Places Plan

The Living Places Exchange is a tactile expression of RMIT’s Living Places Plan – a living plan, not a master plan – and the vision and goals that underpin it. It is a platform for an evolving ecology of ideas that will help realise the Plan, showcasing a rotating selection of RMIT’s learning, teaching and research with realworld impact on shaping our places. 

The Living Places Exchange is now open to the public in Building 42 on Cardigan St, Carlton. Drop in to learn more about the Living Places Plan at the opening times listed below.

Put the Living Places Plan into practice

The Living Places Exchange is available to RMIT staff for small curriculum inclusions, meetings, talks or workshops that are connected back to the Living Places Plan. Proposals to use the space must demonstrate alignment to minimum one of the Living Places Plan Goals and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis based on alignment and availability.
