THE ARCHITECTURE FOUNDATION

Welcome to the website of The Architecture Foundation.

We are a Newcastle-based group made up of graduates in Architecture from the School of Architecture at Newcastle. We may have attended Architecture courses at Sydney Technical College, Newcastle Technical College, Newcastle University College or The University of Newcastle but we are all Newcastle Architects.

We exist as a Foundation because we all believe that we are all responsible to give something back to the school that provided us with a rich and memorable education in Architecture and a lifelong involvement in the profession.

The Architecture Foundation has been in operation, in various forms and with a variety of members, for more than thirteen years. In that time we have conceived and established a unique travelling award now known as The Parker Fellowship, in memory of our late friend and mentor Eric Parker.

The Foundation’s mission is to raise funds, undertake prudent investment of those funds and make grants to the University of Newcastle and thus benefit the nominated award.

Please take some time to experience our website and recall some of those halcyon days that we all enjoyed, often together but always as members of the Architecture @ Newcastle family.
