CV

D’Arcy Newberry-Dupé  is a creative practioner and academic in the expanded field of Architecture. The works she produces focus on drawing out event based architectures, which focus on domestic rituals, and the role of design in rural Australian contexts.

This practice is explored through Unmake Studios, and furthered through her research position with the Global Extraction Observatory, which applies the skills of Architecture to the climate crisis, engaging with extractive industries and the resulting denuded landscapes.

Her in progress PhD at the University of Newcastle fosters this tangle of practices into a ‘ritual architecture’ that looks to the dynamic, mutually defining confluence between bodies, buildings, landscapes and events.

She has worked for ODE Architecture Studio and Peter Stutchbury Architecture, and for the last five years has maintained an engagement with academic teaching across several Australian institutions. This includes fixed term positions and sessional teaching at The University of Newcastle, Monash University and RMIT, as well as teaching internationally (online) at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Canada.

D’Arcy has contributed to several built and research projects in landscape architecture and residential practice that have been the recipients of state and national level awards from AILA, AIA and Good Design Awards. She has recently been awarded the Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarship by the NSW Architects Registration Board, for her project ‘Killing Our Darling’s, and has presented her work internationally at the 20th AHRA Conference ‘Situated  Ecologies  of Care’. in Portsmouth, UK, Performance Space 2024 in Nafplio, Greece and AMPS 2024 Urban Futures - Cultural Pasts, in Barcelona, Spain.
