新南威尔士大学建筑学院30名即将毕业的学生正参与一场真实的设计竞赛，为开发公司Landcom在悉尼Annandale的Joinery项目第二、三阶段设计357套经济适用租赁住房及相关社区设施[1]。该竞赛旨在思考50年后住房、社区和城市发展的样貌，优胜者将获得1万澳元奖金[1]。
学生的设计方案需要包含住房单位以外的功能，如商店、中央广场和公共艺术装置[1]。建筑教授Philip Oldfield指出，人们在家中度过生活的70%，超过人生的三分之二[1]。Landcom首席执行官Alexander Wendler通过提供奖金的方式庆祝该州开发商成立50周年[1]。
Thirty final-year architecture students from the University of New South Wales have entered a real-world design competition to shape the future of affordable housing in Sydney [1]. The task involves designing 357 rental dwellings and associated community facilities for Landcom's Joinery project in Annandale, spanning the development's second and third phases [1]. The competition seeks to envision what housing, communities, and urban development might look like fifty years ahead [1].
The project extends beyond residential units, requiring students to incorporate retail spaces, a central plaza, and public art installations into their proposals [1]. Winners will receive a $10,000 prize funded by Landcom Chief Executive Officer Alexander Wendler as part of the state developer's 50th-anniversary celebration [1]. According to architecture professor Philip Oldfield, people spend more than 70 percent of their lives at home, exceeding two-thirds of their lifespan [1]. The competition focuses on the later stages of development; the project's first phase, comprising 220 rental apartments, operates independently of this design brief [1].
