Michaela Prunotto

Michaela is an editor of Inflection Vol.8 and was a collaborator for Vol.7, which won the Bates Smart Award for Architecture in Media (State Award). She is currently completing her Master of Architecture at the University of Melbourne. This year (2021), she undertook an independent research project supervised by Professor Philip Goad, which involved exploration—via interview analysis—of the entangled, spontaneous dialogue between Italian-Brazilian Modernist architect Lina Bo Bardi and Mexican contemporary architect Frida Escobedo. At present, Michaela engages in freelance work for MRTN architects, and anticipates the forthcoming publication of her writing by Fabrications journal. In 2020, she was recipient of the Tarkett Positive Legacy of Design Award.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
