Curtin University has undergone a significant expansion to become a vibrant, mixed use hub that shifted away from the typical university campus paradigm. The new School of Design and the Built Environment (B418) at Curtin’s Bentley campus was part of this planned change. In 2020, Lendlease approached Apparatus to collaborate on two artwork projects that have become integral to characterising the culture of the site and the pedagogy of the building.

Curtin University is currently undergoing significant expansion to become a vibrant, mixed-use hub that shifts away from the typical university campus paradigm. The ambition of public art within Exchange at Curtin University was to make places that are fertile for creativity, critical thinking, and interaction. Public art within a precinct such as Exchange, Stage One want to embody and reflects the intellectual and creative ambitions of that place, creating a tangible and human scale experience.
