“This work inspired a series of clay pieces crafted through movements used in these kinds of bathroom spaces, exploring ideas of dirt and dirtiness in both their materiality and form.”
“The concept of exposure through materials, layout, function and design, also developed as one of the key narratives in this exhibit, subverting our expectations of what a bathroom should provide its inhabitants.”
“This event is open to all, with designs inclusive to queer communities and those with various mental and physical disabilities.”

New ideas for a suburb with a huge legacy
Also during MDW 2024, RMIT PlaceLab and Merri-bek City Council have collaborated to present Disruptive Ideas for Revitalising Coburg, a discussion designed to provoke new thinking and hear new perspectives, as Council plans to transform some of the under-used spaces it owns in the heart of Coburg.
The event will be hosted at Schoolhouse Studios, alongside a panel of ‘urban provocateurs’ to think about public space and urban design from new and often hyper-local angles.
This event will mark the start of a participatory design project where we will interrogate the way we understand place and design through a collaboration between RMIT academics and Master of Architecture students, and community members; building an understanding of how a revitalised Coburg can better support and enhance diverse public life – today and into the future.
