D’Arcy
Newberry-Dupé is a creative practitioner 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 her collaborations with other research collectives - in particular the Global Extraction Observatory, who look at bringing the skills of architecture to the climate crisis and the denuded landscapes of extractive industries.
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 in practice for ODE Architecture Studio and Peter Stutchbury Architecture, and for the last six 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. In her current role as Associate Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, she expands this creative practice based research and teaching.
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.
