MPARNTWE presenter

22 July

Written By Regional Architecture Association

Trent Woods is a founding director of Officer Woods, an architectural practice based in Fremantle, Western Australia. ‘Integrity’ is a common phrase colleagues use to describe Officer Woods. This sensibility is evident in projects in both urban and remote contexts, where they ask not just what architecture should be—but what else it can do. Their work in places like Newman and South Hedland demonstrates a commitment to quality design regardless of locality, climate and the complexities of culture. These projects, developed in collaboration with artists, Traditional Owners and local residents, are grounded in listening and adaptive design thinking. Across teaching, advocacy, and built work, the practice continues to work across disciplinary boundaries while bringing high level design thinking to regional and remote Australia.
