The creative suburb: Building and urban designs for suburban innovators

(2016) The creative suburb: Building and urban designs for suburban innovators. Professional Doctorate by Creative Works, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This project involved development of a series of new building and urban designs available for innovators operating in new suburban greenfield situations in Queensland, Australia. The project drew on significant primary research with suburban home-based creative industries workers, vernacular architecture, and town planning in the Toowoomba region, and comprised construction of a prototype 'homeworkhouse' in Clifton, Queensland. The work also included production of a book featuring building concept plans and urban designs for a creative suburb made up entirely of homeworkhouses especially designed for creative work, as well as a short video explaining the prototype building.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
