IN DUE TIME is a publication featuring a group of students passionate about designing for Western Sydney. This is a place of knowledge sharing, experimentation, of execution of ideas, exploration and discovery, and of course design. Hence, In Due Time presents 'PILOT' exhibition booklet and works from 2023.
Architecture Student Exhibition 29/11/2023

Thanks to the support of university coordinators and the Beyond Architecture Team, the night was a success. Stay tuned and keep an eye out on 2024 exhibition!
FOREWORD
The architecture program at Western Sydney is one of the youngest, but most important in Australia, servicing the third largest economy in the country, and a huge geographical and demographic area of immense and continual change. Underpinned by diversity, Western Sydney is now the centre of many of the most interesting and provocative architectural projects in Sydney at the moment and, combined with the transformations in infrastructure and cultural investment, is witnessing a period of unprecedented growth, expansion and adaptation.
The importance of architecture in these broader cycles of urban transformation is immense, not only shaping the quality of buildings that we work and live in, but also the urban spaces we share as a community. I am delighted to be a part of the project of architecture in Western Sydney and to work with the talented pool of students that the program attracts. As the program continues to grow, and its graduates move into the workforce, these students will shape the communities, environments and architecture of this important region as well as many others.
This exhibition, in the heart of the Parramatta CBD, is the start of an important and ongoing conversation in which young, talented people can engage creatively with the significant issues and pressures of the built environment and frame architectural proposals for its most important sites. It is a privilege to welcome you to our first “PILOT” exhibition featuring work across all years of our architecture programs.
