Forgotten places on show
PROPERTY
Do you have an interest in unlocking the hidden potential of the laneways and forgotten places of Fortitude Valley? If you do, then an upcoming exhibition will open your imagination to the future possibilities of the Valley’s small spaces.
Forgotten Places: Rediscovering the small spaces and laneways of the Valley is an exhibition by QUT fourth-year architecture design students showing in the TC Beirne Building, Brunswick Street Mall, Fortitude Valley from June 19 to 27 from 7am to 7pm.
Exhibition organisers say visitors will “be inspired by an exciting, new vision for the transformation of the forgotten places of Fortitude Valley. This project showcases young designers’ ideas for the rejuvenation of small places”. There will be a student forum on June 19 from 2pm to 5pm involving a panel discussion with QUT students on activating the small spaces in the Valley through the design of temporary art galleries.
The exhibition is supported by the QUT's School of Design in the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering, the Lord Mayor’s Suburban Initiative Fund, Councillor David Hinchliffe’s Central Ward and Forwin.
