Theme: Sustainable Building and Beyond
The Student session of the SB05 conference in Tokyo called for education and research, which could lead the building industry from the paradigm of green building to one of sustainable building. This was described as a shift from the goals of minimising harm, to these of creating maximum benefit and true symbiosis between built and natural environments. In 2005 the student’s manifesto was elegantly summarised in the formula:
Sustainable Building = Green Building + Symbiosis
Meeting this challenge represents the core theme of the SB08 Melbourne Student Sessions, the objectives of which are twofold:
1) Support Research Development
Help post-graduate and undergraduate research students in the field of sustainable building to get the most out of their research - present their research and problems, network and workshop research approaches with more experienced researchers and educators.
2) Design Beyond Sustainability
Encourage new and energised thinking about buildings designed to push the concept of sustainability, exploring the issues of systems, symbiosis, diversity and resilience through an international student design competition and exhibition.

''Waste no Future'' ''No Waste Housing''
Creating waste at rates and volumes which degrade our social, economic and ecological life-supporting systems is a clear definition of unsustainability. This is the situation we now find ourselves in, and one which we must design ourselves out of. How do we do this?
The aim of this competition is to transform an existing historic waste transfer station in Melbourne, Australia using symbiotic and ecological design principles to create a no-waste housing development. We are looking for innovative ideas that create liveable, sustainable communities that create no waste in inception, design, construction and habitation.
