Reform, Fitness and Fun
11
March - 23 April 2009
The places provided for children reflect society's attitudes towards them. Reform, Fitness and Fun is an exhibition exploring the intersection of child development and play theories with the design of public playgrounds in South Australia. It draws on historical resources and sites from across the state and overseas, and on the expertise of a multi-disciplinary team of child development and play specialists, historians, architects, and landscape architects.

Architectural preludes: 100 years of student drawings
Celebrating
One Hundred Years of Architecture and Design Education in South Australia
26 September - 6 October 2006
This exhibition showed the Architecture Museum's holdings of student work and marked the centenary of the Louis Laybourne Smith School of Architecture and Design (now the School of Art, Architecture and Design).
Architectural
preludes: one hundred years of student drawing
examined shifts in the theoretical approaches to
design education from the days of the School of Mines through to the
present. It focused on measured and design
drawings influenced by Beaux-Arts, modernist and postmodernist thought as
well as the broader context of the times in which they were produced.
The exhibition evolved from research undertaken by the
School's PhD candidate Susan Collins for her
thesis 'Traces that remain: the contextual
significance of historical architectural drawings'.
Drawings in the exhibition were selected from
Architecture Museum collections. Collections
Manager Julie Collins and Susan Collins curated the exhibition and prepared
an essay for the accompanying catalogue.

The
