Student Chapter
Cecilia is a student of architecture and urbanism with training in history, literature, philosophy and theology. She is fascinated by vernacular architecture, good traditional building and the possibility of reclaiming beauty in our public spaces through classical urbanism.
Why should I do this?
We want to have a tangible and widespread impact on the built environment in Australia. Years in the future, we want to look back and be able to say:
‘We changed the way suburbs and towns were built in Australia. We said yes to beauty, said no to ugliness and now we enjoy the benefits — intimate neighbourhoods with big trees, exquisite façades and lovely details on beautiful houses. Where different generations enjoy shared spaces in a village atmosphere and people fill the streets day and night; where people send their kids to school on foot and shop owners stop to chat with locals; where strip malls, flammable buildings, big glass boxes and ego-driven architectural monstrosities are nowhere to be seen.’
It has been done before, and it can be done again. We are creating the future heritage buildings and places of Australia.
This can only be done locally, neighbourhood by neighbourhood — if you don’t do it for your neighbourhood, who will?
