Shae Forvan
Shae May Forvan (Born April 14th, 1945) was an influential architect of her time, credited with the development of classic mid-century modern styling, and the conversation pit. Forvan completed a bachelors degree of Design in Architecture at the University of Technology Sydney from 1960 through to 1963. Shae credited her unique eye to her early life in the multicultural suburbs of Sydney, a fusion of cultural stylings. Her career as an architect and designer first gained popularity in 1961 following a feature of her first residential project in Architectural Australia. Forvan continued to work on projects and in 1964 started an artichecture firm 'Konidot' with co-founder Arias Metcalfe. During her career, Shae Forvan won eight Architecture Australia awards from a variety of categories including Residential (New & Alterations/Additions), Public, and Interior.

After retiring in 1997, Shae was unseen for 4 years before briefly reappearing in a public stunt in which she set a Mercedes G-Wagon on fire. The ignition of the car's fuel tank caused a fireball that killed 56-year-old Forvan at the scene.

As of 2004, a statue was erected on the University of Technology Sydney campus as a symbol of the successful graduate.
