+SiteStudio

+SiteStudio is a site based design research studio, driven by and run for, design students and graduates.
A young collective that exists through being grounded on and with site.
Based and founded at Siteworks, the studios' model sees the practice of site care taking exchanged for a space and test site to explore creative production and research outputs.
The studio is less a singular entity and more a supportive infrastructure for independent creative initiatives.

Background Information

We respectfully acknowledge the five language groups of the Kulin Nation as sovereign custodians of the lands on which we work and live. We extend our respects to ancestors and elders past, present and emerging, and to all First Nations people. In the context of the work we do, we express gratitude for our shared connection through place, to the oldest continuing cultures on earth.
