Dedicating Space, a University of Queensland Architecture Department exhibition from May 16-23, celebrates the opening of a dedicated gallery space in the Zelman Cowen Building to exhibit the work of architecture students.
Associate lecturer Antony Moulis has co-ordinated the exhibition which represents the work of students at each level of the University's architecture program.
Mr Moulis said the gallery provided a more sophisticated venue for students to present their work to the architectural profession and industry members who visited the Department.
Mr Moulis said large pivoting wall panels meant the space could be used for seminars and other teaching and learning purposes.
The exhibition features first-year students' drawings and models of a studio, gallery and a small house and courtyard as well as constructions of side tables by first-year students from 1996.
Second-year students have taken notions of secluded, quiet corners to create full-scale models of corner spaces, complete with furniture.
Third-year student designs of one-room houses for Stradbroke Island will be displayed and fourth-year students have created installations to reflect their proposals for the streetscape of Woodridge, an outer Brisbane suburb.
Fifth-year students have made proposals for the redevelopment of the Tennyson power station.
The gallery, located on level three of the Zelman Cowen Building, is open 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday.
Hunter Douglas Architectural Products, Dulux, Spectra Lighting and Boral Hancock Plywood have supported the exhibition.
