Barkman Concrete Design Competition 2019 – 2020

Instructor: Anna Thurmayr

Year: L+U3 students, L+U4 students, M1 and M2 landscape architecture students

About the Competition:
How to design and detail the colour and texture of Barkman’s mid-to-large profile paver “Broadway”? Every year Barkman Concrete Ltd. honours pre-cast design proposals of students that challenge and celebrate the material ‘concrete’. The task of this year was a walkable, tight concrete surface utilising colour and pattern in an abstract way. The use of formwork should result in a surface without any exposed aggregates applicable for commercial and residential projects. The call for entries established prizes (total money of $3000) generously donated by Barkman Concrete Ltd. as part of their Scholarship Fund for students in the Faculty / Department of Landscape Architecture.
