Professor of Practice Architecture for WSU School of Built Environment, Peter Poulet highlighted that partnering in the delivery of these real-world lectures goes beyond industry connectivity.
“Through sharing Arup’s exemplar cross-disciplinary way of working, we aim to give students a better understanding of collaborative design practice, and the opportunity to build skills that unlock real capacity to influence the shape our contemporary cities for the better,” said Peter.
Continuing the connection with this Masters class, each student will be paired with a mentor from Arup who will provide guidance, expert advice and real-life experience to help them shape their career paths.
Arup’s Architecture Leader for NSW/ACT, Belinda Parker said that having a collaborative mind frame as early as possible sets architecture students up to be attuned with this way of working and to be well-equipped for their professional life.
