Participants on the 2015 Architecture Student Summer School at Georges Head Lookout overlooking Sydney Harbour, designed by Richard Leplastrier and Craig Burton

The one-week residential 2015 Summer School for architecture students, held at Pittwater, north of Sydney in February, was a multicultural affair. We had international visitors from USA, India and New Zealand, but Australian resident students had family roots in many countries - China, England, Iran, Italy, Hong Kong, Jordan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Serbia - probably more. The group were joined by RIBA Gold Medallists 2015 from Ireland Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey.
