Casuarina to host architecture showcase on Thursday

KINGSCLIFF architect Matt Cooper will be one of four north coast architects to showcase their work tomorrow at Architecture on Show in Casuarina.

NSW Country Division Chair of the Australian Institute of Architects Sarah Aldridge said it would be a great opportunity for the public to come along and meet some local architects to see how projects in their area are developed and designed.

"This is the first time we have put on a free showcase event with local architects at Casuarina," Ms Aldridge said.

The four presenting architects will have 15 minutes each to showcase their work.

Matt Cooper has been an architect for 20 years and started his business Aspect Architecture 15 years ago.

"I think it's a very good opportunity for people to get an idea of what architects do and why they do it," Mr Cooper said.

"It's important for the public to see how architects work and what they can do for you.

Casuarina architect Scott Carpenter will be curating the event, which precedes a regional seminar.

He said many regional architects are somewhat isolated from the rest of the industry.

"This conference will offer a meeting of minds, where they can discuss issues from design to practice management," he said.

Mr Carpenter said Architecture on Show would allow the general public to see architecture doesn't just belong to the "upper echelons".
