With a distinct leadership role as the Capital City authority of Western Australia, the City of Perth offers an array of interesting and diverse career opportunities.
Perth is a prosperous and highly livable city with a robust plan for the years ahead. The City has a strong focus on revitalising and enhancing civic spaces such as laneways and parks. An invigorated sense of place is being created through the provision of public art as well as a variety of free activities, from major-scale events that draw an international crowd, to early morning fitness classes for everyone in the community.
Major infrastructure projects transforming Perth for residents, workers and tourists include Elizabeth Quay, Perth City Link and Riverside.
Unique, dynamic and international, the Architectural Association School of Architecture was originally set up in 1847 as a public forum and learned society, in/famously founded by 'a pack of troublesome students'. The AA is much more than the UK's oldest school of architecture; the school is the nexus of a global conglomeration of contemporary architectural culture, as well as its pasts. The AA’s incarnations include:
a professional association;
a vibrant membership organisation comprising more than 4500 members;
a registered charity;
AA Publications, publisher of books and journals;
AA Bookshop, one of London’s leading architectural booksellers; and
a high-profile public events programme, including a wealth of exhibitions, lectures, symposia, seminars, conversations, research clusters and visits.
All this takes place at the AA’s newly consolidated campus home on its historic site in Bedford Square in Bloomsbury, central London and its site in Dorset for the development of rural architectures and sustainable technologies.
The Australian Institute of Architects is the peak body for the architectural profession, representing over 14,000 members across Australia and overseas. The Institute actively works to improve the quality of our built environment by promoting quality, responsible and sustainable design.
