The creative and intellectual talents of graduand students from UNSW’s Interior Architecture program go on display from December 1 at Pier 2/3 in Sydney’s Walsh Bay.

Dubbed four, the exhibition is an opportunity to view the talents and views of Australia’s next generation of interior architects.

The dizzying array of exhibition models and drawings are displayed on 180 recycled doors salvaged from garage sales and street cleanups around Sydney. The interests and concerns revealed through students' works range from high fashion and sustainable energy use through to more creative ways of providing shelter for Sydney's homeless people.

The displays include new and renovated kindergartens, museums, youth centres, health clinics, play centers, fashion boutiques, hotels, cultural and performing arts spaces, and an immigration and cultural center providing a venue to chronicle Sydney’s postwar immigration history.

The Museum of Waste exhibit is a proposed redevelopment of the defunct White Bay Power Station on the eastern fringe of Sydney’s CBD. For graduand student, Kate Springer, the heritage-listed former coal-fired power station provides “a focus for some of the negative and often forgotten aspects of human endeavour, encompassing subjects including waste, war, greed, crime, misuse of resources, pollution, consumption and consumerism."

What: final year interior architecture student exhibition

Where: Pier 2/3, Hickson Road, Walsh Bay

When: from 6pm, Friday 1st December
