Dane Voorderhake is a UTS Master of Architecture Graduate who joined OF in 2015. He is interested in all things digital with a focus upon algorithmic processes and advanced fabrication technologies. This manifests into an interest in Architecture’s return to the culture of ‘making’ and a tactile working approach that navigates the ground between the digital and the physical.

Dane was the winner of the 2016 Australian Institute of Architects Graduate Award for ‘Digital Innovation in Architecture’. Dane has lived and studied in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Sydney. He currently teaches architectural design and communications and manages the Advanced Fabrication Lab at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).

Leyla Oz completed her Bachelor of Design in Architecture at UTS in 2018, is currently undertaking her Master of Architecture and started at OF in 2019.

She is interested in the governing of space through surveillance and observation. Her previous work examines the distortion of the female body in the reflective surfaces of the city.

After developing an interest in the unravelling of political conflict in Syria, her project based on the control of bodies through the command over vital resources was published in The Funambulist.

Leyla also loves to model make and would really like to learn the art of glassblowing one day.
