    Newton, C ; Backhouse, S ; Fisher, K ; Gan, L ; Grose, M ; Hes, D ; Howard, P ; Kvan, T ; Monie, J ; Wilks, S ; Newton, C (Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning, University of Melbourne, 2012)
    The Future Proofing Schools Research Team has been delighted with the response to the Design Ideas Competition. We congratulate the winners but also thank the many entrants who, while not named for an award, have contributed the inspiring ideas that you will and within this publication. The Australian Research Council has made this Design Ideas Competition possible by providing ARC Linkage funding for the years 2010 until 2012. While no ARC funding has gone into prize money, the funding has been crucial for the research phases preceding and following the competition stage.

    Future Proofing Schools The Phase 3 Research Reflections
    Newton, C ; Leonard, R ; Backhouse, S ; Wilks, S ; Monie, J ; Gan, L ; Kvan, T ; Soccio, P ; Hes, D ; Featherston, M ; Grose, M ; Fisher, K ; Newton, C (Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning, University of Melbourne, 2012)
    Now we are in the final year of our three year research project Future Proofing Schools, it is timely to reflect on our research journey. An innovation in the design of this research has been the inclusion of an Ideas Competition midway through a three phase research process, a decision that has effectively geared the research and its impact in a range of ways. Phase 3 has been a period of analysis and reflection on all these issues. This publication is divided into themes that range from competition analyses and reflections on our own brief, through to observations on remote community challenges and the future of Australia’s prefabrication industry. Our twelve authors contribute a range of viewpoints from their respective disciplines, and highlight the complexity of the research area we are exploring.
