March City Building Seminar

City of Change: Sports, Culture and Community on the Gold Coast

Jesse Judd and Mark Raggatt, Directors of ARM Architecture, will showcase two significant city changing projects in our city.

HOTA, Home of the Arts, master plan imagines the transformation of ageing cultural infrastructure and redundant office buildings into the cultural heart of the Gold Coast.

The Parklands project is a new suburb of 1250 dwellings built over four years. As the Commonwealth Games Village it will host over 6500 athletes competing in the 2018 Commonwealth GamesTM. Afterwards, the site will be transformed into a mixed use residential community integrated with the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct.

Jesse and Mark will chart the evolution of these city changing projects from competition to delivery, discussing the long-term vision for these exciting precincts, reviewing the works already completed and speculating on their future. They will explain the conceptual frameworks that shape and guide these complex projects and provide insight into what to expect over the next couple of years as both projects continue to transform the urban and cultural landscape of the Gold Coast.

Jesse Judd provides design and project leadership for major cultural, urban-design, recreational, public, and residential projects. He has practised for more than 20 years, playing major design and delivery roles on some of Australia’s most significant master plan and cultural projects.

Mark Raggatt heads ARM’s Sydney office. His expertise in concept development, stakeholder consultation and design theory are key to his work in design and master planning.
