After-Life the digital future of visual history archives
9 March 2020; with Martien de Vletter, Associate Director of the Collection at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA)
Organised by the The Australian Centre for Architectural History, Urban and Cultural Heritage (ACAHUCH), and the Melbourne School of Design (MSD) at the University of Melbourne.
Material Culture & the Archive of Yuncken Freeman Architects
Working with the University of Melbourne Archive in 2018, Chantalle was involved in the organisation, description, and cataloguing of the archive of Yuncken Freeman Architects. Presented with the opportunity afforded by exposure to the architectural drawings of a firm in operation from the 1930’s through to the 1990’s, she was able to contrast the evolution of drawing format and materiality with the changes of industry and education captured in the collection’s other paperwork. In a presentation that will speak to the material culture within architectural archives, and the importance thereof, Chantalle will ask whether digitally-born drawings can also offer such findings.
Unlocking Creativity Artists' & Architects' Estates
20 November 2019; with Prof Emeritus Miles Lewis, Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne
Organised by the Australian Institute of Art History (AIAH), the Centre of Visual Art (CoVA) and the Melbourne School of Design (MSD) at the University of Melbourne.
Describing the archive of Yuncken Freeman Architects
Along with Prof Emeritus Miles Lewis reflecting on his experience of architects’ estates, as well as the Managing Director of Bates Smart, Simon Swaney, Chantalle will speak to the unique perspective on the learning outcomes involved in the cataloguing and describing of an architectural archive, especially in relation to the creation and use of metadata. Through this, she will highlight how pertinent such processes are to the accessibility of the material for researchers both within and outside the discipline of architecture.
