Message from Our Patron

I want to begin by acknowledging and paying my deepest respects to the First designers, storytellers, architects and artists from the oldest surviving living culture in the world. How incredibly inspiring it was to see our Nation crowd in behind the Matildas this year! The #MatildaEffect is very close to home for me, my daughter-in-law is Matilda alum, Kate Gill, who represented Australia on 86 occasions, 41 of them as Captain. Kate has since worked tirelessly campaigning globally for the game and its players. Sam Kerr and the team have been clear all along - there is so much more at stake than football for this team of champion athletes. The mighty Matilda’s gave us all unlimited access passes to the thrill of the game, ensuring that an army of young girls are joining soccer teams across the country; but also illuminated the issues and challenges the players face fighting for diversity, equity and inclusion. The #MatildaEffect may be the most powerful design lesson we can give the next generation right now. Co-designing the future has become the ultimate team sport with a global imperative as a new generation of designers seek to reach across sectors, disciplines and Nations working together to solve wicked, intractable problems for people, places and planet. Design shapes our world and we need to re-design nearly every aspect of how we live our lives. I am inspired by the UK Design Council galvanising the 1.97M people working in the design economy. They have given the designers a bold and audacious challenge to help address the climate crisis, achieve net zero and beyond, making design regenerative, not extractive by: 1. Designing products and services that make it easy for everyone to live more sustainably 2. Designing sustainable and resilient places with local communities 3. Designing a circular economy which regenerates natural resources. The European Commission determined that 80% of the environmental impact of products is determined at the DESIGN stage. Designers have enormous power and great responsibility - what I call the #DesignEffect. The #DesignEffect ensures that design serves people and planet, connects us, delights us, thrills us, excites us, emboldens us - the glue that enables societies to flourish and thrive. The #DesignEffect urges us to understand that what we do together is more interesting, more compelling, more powerful, more valuable, than any single thing that we can do alone. So happy 65th birthday Good Design Australia! Congratulations to all of the Good Design innovators, inventors, entrepreneurs and designers and the category winners of the 2023 Australian Good Design Awards. Each of you have made a commitment to the #DesignEffect, to bringing it to life with your power and imagination in Australia and around the World. We look forward to your progress and achievements over the years ahead.

This year we celebrated 65 years of Good Design. Since 1958, the Australian Good Design Awards have evolved alongside the design profession, to now become one of the most respected and celebrated design awards in the world. From the early days under the Industrial Design Council of Australia (IDCA), to finding a home with Standards Australia in the 90s, and for the last 14 years under the custodianship of Good Design Australia – these Awards have grown and evolved to reflect the diverse areas of design across business, industry and society and continue to set the strict criteria and rigour around what we define as Good Design. For me, Good Design has always been about solving problems for people, in a meaningful way. Employing deep empathy to understand how we can create better products, services, systems and places for people to live, work, play and grow in - and using those tools to help solve some of our bigger, more complex challenges in society. Good Design is not easy or unintended, and embedding Good Design principles into all that we do, as we work towards designing a world that we all want to live in, will be critical. The number and quality of projects recognised in this year’s Awards are testament to the incredible work already being done; and although much has been accomplished, there is still so much to do. I want to thank everyone that contributed to the projects showcased in this year’s Australian Good Design Awards. These Awards are about so many things – Good Design, Innovation, and Impact to name a few – but at the heart of it all, are the talented people behind these amazing projects. It is your dedication to driving us forward, to designing meaningful solutions and to creating impactful positive change, that makes these Awards possible. The great Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has”. I truly believe that the designers, innovators, and engineers behind these award-winning projects are the people that are already changing our world for the better today and who will continue to strive for a better tomorrow. You and the projects you have created not only deserve to be recognised, but also celebrated. I hope that your success in these Awards and the trophies you took home, give each of you a sense of pride and serve as a continual reminder of your incredible capacity to make positive change through Good Design. A huge congratulations to all of the winners represented in this year’s Awards and I look forward to working alongside you, to continue to help shape a better world – by design.

The Good Design Trophies are proudly designed in partnership with Clandestine Design Group.

“Design, as both a profession and practice, is still alarmingly absent from crucial leadership discussions shaping our collective future in governance, education, business, at all levels of society. Our challenge is to make our broader society understand that Designers possess a unique skill set vital for predicting future needs, dissecting core issues, and addressing root causes rather than surface-level symptoms. Through Good Design processes, we craft solutions that are optimised, impactful, and meaningful, serving as catalysts for positive change. We are the change agents capable of translating scientific and engineering endeavors of invention into true innovations serving the needs of people and the planet.

Ultimately, Good Designers and Good Design Practice will be crucial in shaping a future that is not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also ethical, inclusive, and sustainable. As design continues to evolve, its impact on various aspects of our lives will be increasingly profound.”

The Good Design Special Accolades Trophies are proudly manufactured by Axolotl.

“In the immediate future, I see the role of designers evolving with a focus on integrating emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, into designs. Designers will likely play a crucial role in addressing environmental concerns by creating sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. Collaboration with professionals from diverse fields, user-centric design, and adaptation to changing markets will be key aspects of the evolving role. Ethical considerations, including inclusivity and accessibility, will become increasingly important, and the trend towards remote work may impact how designers collaborate. Continuous learning will be essential to staying relevant in this dynamic field, which is characterized by the need for creativity, adaptability, and a strong understanding of evolving technologies and societal trends. The evolution of interior design and architectural surfaces in the future is likely to be shaped by several key trends. In terms of interior design, there may be an increased emphasis on multifunctional spaces, driven by the growing demand for flexible living and working environments. Integration of smart technologies into interiors, such as home automation and interactive surfaces, could become more prevalent, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. Sustainable and eco-friendly materials may play a more significant role in interior design, reflecting a broader societal focus on environmental responsibility. Architectural surfaces are expected to see innovations in materials and construction techniques, with a potential shift towards more modular and adaptable structures. Advances in nanotechnology and smart materials could lead to surfaces that can self-heal or change properties based on environmental conditions. Additionally, there may be a greater exploration of biophilic design principles, incorporating natural elements into built environments to enhance well-being.

The Good Design Award program gave me a more comprehensive insight into what can be achieved and what can strengthen or enhance future designers’ work in the architectural, engineering or digital design space. This supports creative Indigenous youth and Elders through opportunities to produce more worthwhile change within their communities. It helps strengthen an awareness of good design in general and creates meaningful outcomes for those communities.”

Studio Storm is the Creative Partner of the Good Design Awards.

“In the future, the role of design will remain a potent force, shaping our world, tackling complex issues, and elevating the human experience. It will adapt to evolving technologies and societies by emphasising user-centricity and sustainability. Designers will incorporate data, emotions, and ethics into crafting meaningful and responsible products. Collaboration with AI, global awareness, and interdisciplinary teamwork will be key to meeting future demands.

GOOD DESIGN TEAM OF THE YEAR PROUDLY PRESENTED BY GOOD DESIGN AUSTRALIA This accolade is a special honour bestowed annually to a design team who consistently performs at the highest level in the annual Australian Good Design Awards and has made a positive and tangible impact in establishing and maintaining a design-led culture within their organisation. The Award aims to inspire companies to build and maintain a design-led culture throughout the organisation.

FUTURE FRIENDLY Future Friendly believes that the products and services we engage with every day directly affect the wellbeing of ourselves and our environments. This means that our society and world’s greatest challenges and joys – climate change, financial wellbeing, mental health, diversity, inclusion, education – can be faced, challenged or emboldened to change lives for the better. It’s why, for almost two decades, Future Friendly’s Founders Nick Gower and Jon Christensen – alongside their team – have been fuelling constructive impact by the way of design. They innovate everyday services that lead positive change at scale, combining strategy, conscious design and hands-on product and service development to make it happen. Future Friendly’s human-centred innovation has earned 27 Australian Good Design Awards as they’ve broken new ground with the likes of the Commonwealth Bank, Defence Health, Service NSW and the ABC. Their decorated approach has empowered organisations Australia-wide to make their good intentions real.

Future Friendly’s penchant for positive impact was celebrated this year with the 2023 Good Design Team of Year Award. It not only recognises the team’s incredible work, but also their internal commitment to nurturing a design-led, people-first culture. Good Design Australia caught up with Nick Gower and Jon Christensen to reflect on the team’s inspiring journey, discuss their recent acquisition by Ernst & Young (EY) and explore the potential of design to lead true impact.

GDA: As it’s clearly embodied in the Future Friendly vision, how would you describe design’s potential to bring about positive impact? NG: I think, to me, the word design or to be a designer means to always combine two things. It means you’re always leading and you’re always making. If you’re balancing those two things, you’re leading the process of making, whether that’s a building or website or anything else, you have a responsibility and an opportunity to affect the lives of the people that engage with it. That’s the opportunity that we’ve led into. We’ve really taken on the responsibility of understanding the impact of the stuff that we make, and in that found opportunities to help people. So I think design is the process of making an impact. GDA: How important is human-centred design in these socially-conscious design processes? NG: We focus on a really hands-on research and design approach that engages communities. The communities that use these services are the ones that should be leading the creation of those services, and their needs and voices should be brought into that process. To me, that includes both including them, but also delivering for them. It means doing more than just talking and listening. It means making and allowing them to participate through the creation process. I feel like for there to be progress for groups of people, you need a mix of both empathy and entrepreneurialism – understanding and action. Empathy without action is just focus groups and talking, listening and endless consultation without necessarily solving or helping bring to life the true solutions. On the contrary, entrepreneurialism by itself is just unbridled consumerism, and we know where that takes you.

NG: Through participation, honestly. We want to get out of the way of inspiring designers – those who see design as a vocation, a life’s calling – so we can create space for them to feel secure to try and fail. We want to allow them to build a cadence that offers enough structure to be able to do the messy thing that is design. We want to be there to support them when they fall over and encourage them to give things another try. Creating a really emotionally secure place to engage with the problem is all you really need to do. GDA: It sounds like these principles have been very innate to Future Friendly since the very beginning. What does it mean to be celebrated for it with the Good Design Team of the Year Award? NG: I think to be recognised as a design team is something that we’re really excited about. We don’t believe that design can be done by an individual. Design is a team sport, and our entire business is set up around creating design teams, full-time teams of people that work on one problem at a time until it’s solved. We believe that’s the secret to the way we work because it creates this really great relationship and this unbelievable focus in a really safe environment of collaboration. Winning this award really goes to the heart of who we are, and I’m super proud to be able to say that we built the best design team this year. JC: The Award is also a really powerful tool that shows, to the teams and organisations we work with, the positive outcome that has been created. A lot of people might focus on the process side of design or what it is that designers need to do, but the Award is the pinnacle proof that all the efforts and impact has been recognised. It shows the community value is being celebrated. GDA: Looking outwards at the design space as a whole, what would Future Friendly describe as “good design”? JC: A hard one! Good design is probably just as simple as something that actually impacts people in a positive way. Like, it doesn’t matter about the process or whatever, it’s just something that has an outcome. It’s not something that you do for yourself, it’s not your own process to go to or your own learning moment, it’s something that you’re doing to help other people. NG: We always consider design to be the process, but I guess good design is the outcome – the impactful products, services and things. Compared to other designers, we’re not really academics right? [Laughs] We’re just makers. We don’t spend much time talking and thinking about the definition of good design, because we’re just trying to do it. We’re just the people who solve problems.

This means, to make the biggest impact, we need to deal with companies, organisations and governments that have scale. So, we started looking for a partner who could support us with the delivery of the scale services, both from a technology perspective and from a compliance and regulation perspective. Then we met EY, and they fit the bill. They’re really excited to go on that journey to support a design studio and approach that focuses on large transformation projects in government and in private businesses with humans at the centre. So we took the opportunity to push ourselves to increase the scale of our impact.

GDA: Looking to the Good Design Team of the Year Award, it celebrates teams that cultivate that design culture of creativity, leadership and engagement. How do you encourage that within the Future Friendly workplace?

—

Nick Gower: We’ve been doing Future Friendly for 19 years, or since 2004, and our design philosophy involves delivering impact through what we call everyday services. They’re the things like bank accounts, passports, doctor’s appointments, benefits programmes – things that people don’t necessarily think of as being exciting, but shape the world around us. They affect how our communities can access everything from leisure to medical services, how they connect as people and just have such an enormous effect, even though they’re sort of in the background.

JC: That approach extends to the whole team – being able to be in front of and understand how and what people need from things so they can solve it together. This way, there’s no chain of command and you can create a safe space for the design team, government departments, clients and the community. It helps everyone understand what they need and what needs to sort of change to get them what they need – what will benefit them the most.

Good Design Australia: Fresh off the heels of a milestone acquisition by EY, please tell us a bit about the Future Friendly philosophy and what it means to slide alongside such a massive team.

AUSTRALIAN DESIGN PRIZE PROUDLY PRESENTED BY GOOD DESIGN AUSTRALIA This accolade was established to recognise individual designers who are making or have made, a significant impact in Australian design over the course of their career.

MARC NEWSON Born in Sydney before embarking on his global design career, Marc Newson is an innovator routinely noted as one of the most influential designers of our modern generation. From his roots in jewellery making at Sydney College of the Arts, to his later work alongside Qantas, Louis Vuitton and Ferrari, Marc’s idiosyncratic touch has traversed industries, helping redefine design processes, possibilities and philosophies along the way. Marc staged his first exhibition in 1986 at the age of 23, and by 25, had introduced the Black Hole Table, Embryo Chair and the Lockheed Lounge to the world. The Embryo Chair has never ceased production, whereas the Lockheed Lounge was graced by Madonna in her 1993 Rain music video, and later set the record for the most expensive object ever sold by a living designer on the secondary market.

Marc moved to Tokyo in the late 80s, honing his furniture crafts. He moved to Paris in 1991 and settled in London in 1997, where he established his design studio, Marc Newson Limited. Since then, Marc has held senior positions at clients’ companies such as Qantas and Apple, and began the LoveFrom creative collective alongside Sir Jonathon Ive in 2019. Many of Marc’s pieces now reside in the permanent collections of major museums, with his body of work the subject of numerous publications, documentaries and radio programs. His string of awards and distinctions include a CBE (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) presented by Queen Elizabeth II, an appointment as a Royal Designer for Industry by the Royal Society of Arts, and honorary doctorates from the Royal College of Art and The University of Sydney, which further expound his illustrious legacy. He is also the only industrial designer represented by Gagosian. This year, he adds the coveted Australian Design Prize to his mantelpiece in recognition of his ongoing contributions to Australian design.

GDA: The Australian Design Prize celebrates individuals that have had a significant contribution to Australian design. Is there anything that sticks out to you when you think of Australian design? MN: I think, for slightly counterintuitive reasons, the answer is no. The reality is now that design has become a truly global enterprise or industry. I believe there was a time when one could potentially identify geographically where something may have been conceived or designed. That might not be the case anymore, but I’m very happy to say that, for all of the right reasons, Australian design sits, in an international context, with design globally. It’s for those reasons that I feel that identifying the geographical characteristics of design becomes more and more difficult, and in a sense, more and more problematic. Design is really, truly one of the most global industries. Every designer I know, regardless of where they come from, is obliged to work wherever the work takes them. That’s as true for Australians as it is for designers everywhere. Australia sits within the context of international design, alongside other places historically championed and recognised for design. GDA: Something that’s regularly mentioned about your work and designs, notably by Sir Jonathan Ive – is that you have a deep understanding of the materials and the processes. How would you respond to that assertion? MN: It’s critical and relevant for all areas of design. For example, if you work across a broad range of mediums within the design world, I’d say this understanding of materials and processes is the whole point really. People would argue that you’d perhaps risk being a jack of all trades and master of none, whereas I would argue that you can be a master of all trades. It boils down to learning and a command of your expertise. I’m a big believer in the ability to be self-taught. I don’t necessarily believe you need to study automotive design to learn how to design a car, or to study naval architecture to design boats. A lot of these things you can learn in the same amount of time or less than it would take you in a tertiary institution.

GDA: Another inspirational element that you’ve mentioned in the past is the contemporary youth culture of Australia. What about this culture attracted you, or still attracts you? MN: I think it’s largely a philosophical manifestation that you see playing out through my work, but I believe it’s the ability to be able to seamlessly work across a broad range of media or industries in a way that expresses a general open mindedness and flexibility that Australians tend to take for granted - but are certainly not the norm in Europe. These are some of the attributes that could be identified in ‘youth culture.’ As I’ve mentioned, I don’t like the idea of being able to identify something characteristically or visually based on where it was created - in the world of design at least. It may be appropriate in music, it may be appropriate in film or other areas of creative expression, but I think design has a unique ability and indeed duty to cut through all of those boundaries. The idea of stuff that’s designed and made in Australia being available globally makes me happy. I don’t like the idea of stuff being only exclusively available in certain places. I think, in many ways, that represents a degree of failure. GDA: Twisting the frame back onto design’s role in our modern world, and noting your involvement in numerous charitable efforts throughout the years, how would you describe design’s potential to face or challenge societal or environmental issues? MN: We are, as a community, just scratching the surface really – in a good way. There’s an enormous amount more that can and should be done. It’s an area of design that, in itself, holds a profound space within the world. We inhabit it professionally, yet we’re able to exploit it much more effectively. It’s because design is an industry that lacks the conservatism and the shackles of many, many other professions. It’s incumbent on all of us in the design world to lead that space. GDA: You’ve commented on the landscape and design community changing a lot over the years. Noting on that sense of evolution, do you have any advice or ideas that you would pass along to people that are just getting into their careers. MN: Oddly enough, it’s the same advice that I would have given 20 years ago, and that is to get out there and do it - to be proactive physically. I’ve always felt very strongly about the necessity to be able to create physically and craft physically, to learn more about tools and to understand how things are made. I think this becomes far more relevant now given that the threshold to being a designer, or being perceived as a good designer, is perhaps much lower than it has ever been. This is good, but practical knowledge is something which is learned and earned. It’s incredibly valuable for good designers to possess thorough knowledge about how things are made and understand why things were made this way. Finally, as an end note, I’d like to say a huge thank you. I am so proud to receive this honour.

To receive this Award and to be honoured in Australia is also special, because it will always be my home country. I’ll always be Australian, and I’ll always be regarded as an Australian designer, which is something I’m very proud of. It’s a big deal. I would hazard a guess to say that I’ve not received any award, anywhere in the world, as significant as this. A big thank you to everyone.

MN: At best, you may be able to liken it to a certain philosophy, I’m not sure how any of those things necessarily manifest themselves physically. Maybe they did at a moment in time, and they were identified with Australia by those characteristics. But who decided that? Was it decided by Europeans who were looking for a way to digest what was happening in Australia? I personally think that if those indicators existed, once upon a time, they’re not that prevalent anymore – and I think that’s a positive thing.

—

Marc Newson: It’s obviously a huge honour and a very well-timed one, because I’m turning 60 this year, which is a bit of a milestone. I also figured out the other day that I’ve been working professionally now for about 40 years, so it’s an incredibly auspicious and symbolic moment personally. My forthcoming monograph being published by Taschen chronicles this four-decade period and just about every project.

GDA: Your designs are often described as “biomorphic”. Do you feel as if Australia’s naturality and organic connection is something that informs this style?

Good Design Australia: Brushing shoulders with the likes of Robert Pataki, Ros and John Moriarty, and Carl Nielsen, what does it mean to you to be the recipient of the Australian Design Prize?

WOMEN IN DESIGN AWARD PROUDLY PRESENTED BY GOOD DESIGN AUSTRALIA This award was established in response to the significant gender imbalance within leadership roles in the design industry. It seeks to recognise and celebrate women who have made significant contributions to the field and hopes to encourage a more diverse and equal culture within present and future leadership roles.

PROFESSOR VEENA SAHAJWALLA Renowned for her sustainable engineering innovations and significant contributions to a waste-free world, Professor Veena Sahajwalla has aptly earned the sobriquet “eco-alchemist”. Throughout her storied career, she has reimagined what our society sees as waste, working closely with industry to solidify recycling processes that see environmental, economical and community priorities in perfect balance. Beginning her journey in Mumbai, India, Veena has pioneered the face of “green manufacturing” across the world, first in Canada and now in Australia, where she serves as the founding Director of the Centre for Sustainable Materials Research & Technology (SMaRT) at UNSW. More than 380 peer-reviewed papers underline her trail-blazing legacy, as do multiple transformational projects and models. Her time at the SMaRT Centre steered the development of Green Steel – green alloys produced using end-of-life-plastics instead of coking coal – and the invention of the micro-factory model – small-scale factories that enable global communities to

produce essential products, materials and resources from local waste. She has also launched a mentoring program for women in science called Science 50:50. Veena was elected as a Fellow of the Australian Institution of Engineers Australia in 2005, followed shortly after by her election as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering in 2007. In 2014, she was awarded an ARC Australian Laureate Fellowship and in 2016, named one of Australia’s Most Innovative Engineers by Engineers Australia. Throughout all of this, Veena has made regular appearances as a judge on the long-running ABC TV series The New Inventors and has spoken at numerous prestigious summits worldwide.

Sometimes, we all get super busy, so it’s just easy to kind of throw things out, but I think that extra effort does make a difference to people’s lives. It’s why it’s important to reflect on how we can make a difference at an individual level, but then also, as an engineer myself, look at materials, not as something that’s a waste, but as something that’s a resource that can have life that continues over and over again. GDA: Looking at your contributions to a waste-free world and commitment to circular design and engineering innovations, how do you balance the “green” with the economic side of things? VS: We have to be able to think in a holistic manner. It’s about the balance between what is good for the environment and what’s good for the economy. We’ve got to think about the longer term impact on our planet. If we just go down the path of making something cheap and think, “well, that’s the only way we’re going to create more jobs”, you’re missing out on opportunities. There is so much potential for innovations that can create completely different jobs that have not existed before. We can build a whole new economy that’s built on circularity, all while thinking about the practical side of creating local and regional solutions. If you think about a situation where a little town has no access to, say, infrastructure, or tiles for their homes, study tables for their classrooms, the regular train of thought is that the only option is to get in from a long distance. But what if you could turn that upside down and start to think about how you could support local jobs and local economies with things manufactured right there from the waste that they produce? Of course, they still need to be durable, fit for purpose and aesthetically pleasing, but the material element of the supply chain can be sorted with resources that would have otherwise ended up in landfill. That’s exactly what we’re doing with one of our industry partners, in a regional town in New South Wales, where we are bringing in all these waste resources like glass and textiles and putting that back into production to create ceramic tiles. We’re then shifting our mindset to understand that, just because something has reached the end of life in one application, it doesn’t mean that we can’t bring that back to life in a new application. If we can keep doing that, then we can create good outcomes for our economy, environment and for people.

It’s important to understand the whole system of thinking around supply chains, the viability of the materials and the way it’s manufactured. This ensures those raw ideas can create true transformations. It may well be that it might not work in the first go, in fact, more than likely, that’s not going to be the case at all. So, it’s all about that iterative process, the testing – the whole hands-on journey. GDA: Mentorship is a massive part of instilling this theoretical and practical knowledge, and it’s something you’re very involved in. Tell us a bit about the Science 50:50 mentoring programme and your hopes for women innovators looking into the future. VS: One of the things I really love about the work that I do is that it’s such an emotive thing to be involved at that practical level. It doesn’t matter what your discipline is, what experiences you’ve had in life or what part of the world you’ve come from, there’s just this innate part of us in this field that wants to do good. We all want to make a contribution, but when you listen to stories that say that engineering is such a male-dominated area and people steer clear – that’s not what I want. So I do feel that it’s important to engage young people who are still thinking about what they want to do in their lives, what they want to study. Young people don’t have to decide right at the start that they want to be an engineer, or a scientist, or an architect, so we wanted to give them an opportunity to explore what they were passionate and excited about. We’re on our way towards inspiring future generations that are going to look towards this field of work as a cool way to play a part in making a really positive impact on our planet – whoever they are. GDA: What does winning the Women in Design Award mean to you? VS: There are so many women in Australia and the world who do amazing work. We are really privileged that we have so many incredible women who are so passionate about the kind of work they do and about caring for our people and our planet. I just feel really humbled that I’m considered in the mix of these incredible women. It wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the SMaRT Centre at UNSW, so I’d love to appreciate the important role it’s played in this journey. If it weren’t for the ability to set up a micro-factory at UNSW, we wouldn’t have taken that step to the lab, to piloting and into real world applications. I think we need to also reflect on the fact that, when research happens in the lab environment, all the backing comes from the environment that supports you. It doesn’t matter what career path you follow, as long as you’re pursuing your passion. Just know that Australian universities, industries and businesses can offer you real-world experience, and that’s a real privilege. Making a positive impact and contribution to our planet starts right here in Australia. This Award is all part of that.

Part of that is also a reflection on the fact that we put a lot of energy and effort into making things. All of it has value, even a simple item of clothing or a pair of shoes, and it’s important to look at the many different ways in which we can do the right thing with it, whether it’s to purchase something in the first place, or find a new home for a product that we no longer need.

VS: Extremely important. It’s not very impactful going, ‘I’ve developed this concept in my head, now I’m going to let somebody else worry about the implementation’. The ideas and the doing have to go hand in hand, because it’s always a complex process of ensuring that a way of thinking is actually practical or manufacturable.

—

Veena Sahajwalla: I guess it makes me go back and reflect on how I’ve always looked at any kind of material. I’ve got to the point where I’m fixated, always looking at things on the streets when people throw stuff out. They’re throwing it away as rubbish! But sometimes we need to slow down a bit and think about all these things that we’re calling waste. It’s not really waste, it’s a product – it’s things that were used in a home or elsewhere.

GDA: A lot of your work is a very hands-on, practical and physical kind of engineering. How important is genuinely understanding how to work, physically, with the materials and processes as you design and innovate?

Good Design Australia: An “eco-alchemist” is what you’re affectionately referred to as. What was it that inspired you to see mountains of rubbish and waste materials in our society as more than just that? What kickstarted this alchemy journey?

MICHAEL BRYCE PATRON’S AWARD PROUDLY PRESENTED BY GOOD DESIGN AUSTRALIA DESIGNED BY

Firestory Abby Phillips Garth Lidbetter, Thomas Hart Ludovic Reig, Murphy Trueman

COMMISSIONED BY NSW Rural Fire Service DESIGNED IN

This Award is presented annually by the Patron of Good Design Australia. It recognises and celebrates the best Australian designed product, service or project in the annual Australian Good Design Awards and is awarded to an entry that has the potential to shape the future economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects of our planet.

Australia

BUSHFIRE SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE In the summer of 2019-2020, an estimated 16 million hectares of land burned across a drought-stricken Australia. Aptly coined the Black Summer, hundreds of blazes ravaged ecosystems, communities and infrastructure for almost twelve months, taking the lives of over 30 people, killing or displacing up to 3 billion animals and causing around $200 billion in damages. In this catastrophic summer, more individuals than ever before forgoed the traditional “000” route to instead take to social media to share bushfire updates, stay connected and cry for help. It saw emergency services needing to quickly adapt to a new online norm, sifting through status updates and photo uploads to piece together bushfire trajectories and strategise their next moves.

The people, processes and existing technologies of Australia’s fire services were pushed well beyond their limits as smoke suffocated the country. So, in the wake of a scorched continent and a radical shift in the way individuals report bushfires, Abby Phillips – Senior Product Designer at Kablamo – and her team sought to prevent such a catastrophic event from ever happening again. The result is Bushfire Social Intelligence, a world-first emergency services workflow providing highly relevant public information to firefighters. The machine-learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)-optimised innovation assists in early fire detection, fire behaviour analysis and response time enhancement.

Good Design Australia: Australia is a continent known for bushfires, with many fire-led catastrophes dotting its history. How would the Bushfire Social Intelligence platform come into play in the time of a fire? Abby Phillips: Bushfire Social Intelligence includes a suite of features integrated within Athena – a platform that we’ve been developing with the New South Wales Rural Fire Service for nearly two years now. Using a ML model trained on keywords and hashtags that are relevant to bushfires or emergency services, it collects and visualises vital information. It also uses imagery recognition, looking at imagery on social media that has fire, smoke and other landmarks. All relevant information can be plotted on a map within Athena which can show its relationship to known incidents, whether it’s near a known fire or a hotspot, or even infer that there is an ignition we didn’t know about. Emergency services all have teams that sit at computers and trawl through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram looking for those posts, so Bushfire Social Intelligence speeds up the process to detect or slow down fires before they get out of control. GDA: It seems a lot of raw data, keywords and photos are collected in the social media scanning process. How can the platform tell what is relevant and what is not? AP: That’s the machine learning part, where there are always challenges to overcome. A lot of computer vision models that already existed were based on the US context, so we had to spend time training the AI model in the Australian context with the Australian environment, and we still have more work to do in this space. With the keywords and hashtags, something that became obvious in the design process was there are a lot of keywords that trend due to different societal issues at a point in time that do not contribute to bushfire management. This means it’s not as simple as pulling a bunch of data from Twitter, for example, that was trending at the time and putting it into a machine learning model. So it was a lot of trial and error to optimise that, a lot of workshops, a lot of sitting down with users and people that had been managing social media data throughout recent bushfire seasons and understanding, what they considered to be data that is used as intelligence and not just general information generated from the community. GDA: Would you describe this as more of a human-led approach to a ML and AI-optimised solution? Why is this important?

GDA: Talking scalability, can the Bushfire Social Intelligence technology be applied to other natural disasters for example? How can it keep up with the speed of social media? AP: It can be applied to any natural disaster, as long as we’re working alongside people that are experts in those emergencies and understand what they’re looking for. After all, we’re not firefighters, right? We’re technology and design experts. So, we have to be designing with those people that have got the knowledge. We have a great baseline for what machine learning and object recognition models can do – it just needs the relevant data. Talking about social media, we’ve actually designed the user interface and the technical architecture so that it can integrate with future social media or crowdsourcing platforms. This sees repeatable design patterns and content containers flex to allow data from any social media platform be used. It means we don’t need to spend time redesigning an interface to visualise information from new sources, and can focus instead on other high impact initiatives. GDA: Zooming out a bit, how would you describe design’s general potential to face or challenge big societal or environmental issues? In what ways can it ignite positive change within communities? AP: I think that, as designers, we know how to ask the right questions. We’re really good at being strategic thinkers and thinking of the problem holistically. We can partner with the users, and the technology experts – we’re really the people that are able to join the dots between the whole picture. Design can create an interconnected, innovative environment that allows innovative technologies to be applied to the problems we’re solving. Dee Behan: Just to add to that; with any sort of societal change or environmental change, there’s always those systemic barriers or legacy systems that we have to overcome. Without a design-thinking mindset, it’s very difficult to just inject a new way of working or expect a new tech to actually be adopted. As Abby was saying, it’s going right back to all that interconnectedness. Designers can really map together and understand how a positive change can happen. It works. Just looking at the [Bushfire Social Intelligence project], the work that the team is doing is ultimately saving lives, saving our environment and saving animals. It’s actually the most crucial work. I think the vision at its core is that “we will be saving lives”. That is at the forefront of everybody’s mind.

AP: Yes, for sure. I think if you’re starting with the technology and the solution first, then you’re not considering the problem you’re actually solving for. For machine learning in particular, I believe it only works if you’re starting with a problem in mind. That human-centred design mindset and the design-thinking approach really helps you uncover the problems you’re going to solve, who they are for and whether or not we can solve them with these people. Not for them or at them, but bringing them on the design journey.

—

For the Bushfire Social Intelligence project, the problem we were primarily looking to solve is the massive amount of time emergency service personnel were taking to sift through all of this information, and then the time it takes the information to get to the people that need it to make those really critical decisions. Once we had defined that, we could understand that machine learning was one of the right solutions to apply to this problem.

INDIGENOUS DESIGN AWARD DESIGNED BY

Emrhan Tjapanangka Sultan Dr Nicola St John The Jacky Winter Group RMIT University

This Award is proudly presented by RMIT University to recognise and celebrate the important contribution that Australia’s Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and First Nations designers make to Australia’s vast spectrum of design disciplines and practices.

COMMISSIONED BY Emrhan Tjapanangka Sultan Dr Nicola St John The Jacky Winter Group DESIGNED IN

Australia

SOLID LINES Solid Lines is all about creating solid pathways for emerging First Nations artists to find success, recognition, support and fair representation within the art and design industries. As Australia’s first First Nations-led illustration agency, it’s reimagining the future commerciality of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander creativity, contributing to policy development and setting new standards within Australia’s creative space along the way. However, as head designers Emrhan Tjapanangka Sultan and Dr Nicola St John tell Good Design Australia, they aren’t pathways easily forged. The art and design industries are often ignorant of First Nations ways of working, and there are few existing platforms that represent First Nations creatives on their own terms, in culturally safe and supported ways.

Solid Lines agency therefore innovates at a much-needed crossroads of policy, opportunity and design, representing the first phase of a long journey that champions the protection of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP). It involves the curation of beneficial partnerships and culturally safe creative opportunities that respect and give back to community.

GDA: To ensure artists always had something to hang their hat on? NSJ: Yes. When you think of Western or Eurocentric licensing practices, artwork licences or brand copyright for example, it’s quite different to how First Nations artists and communities would like to do it. So Solid Lines was really built around developing a licensing policy that protected First Nations artists and their cultural heritage. We worked with a First Nations lawyer to develop the ICIP. It helps protect First Nations artists when clients are licensing First Nations work or working with First Nations artists, and it ensures that clients aren’t inadvertently stealing First Nations art or knowledge or culture, or trying to copyright things that can’t be owned, in a commercial sense. GDA: Solid Lines is evolving through somewhat of a phase-by-phase journey. Where are we now, and where is it headed? ETS: We’re in stage one at the moment – the nesting period. We just celebrated our first anniversary, actually, and are looking at going into phase two pretty soon which will continue to establish Solid Lines as a standalone First Nations-owned business. GDA: The last phase sees Solid Lines become a First Nations owned, operated and controlled business, but giving back to community is another integral part of the business structure. How will this work? NSJ: Giving back to community and having a community at the heart of everything that we do at Solid Lines was something that came out of our collaborative approach to developing the agency directly alongside artists. All the artists are really keen to invest back into community and provide access and representation for the next generation of artists coming through as well. So a percentage of all of the profits go back into our Community Development Fund. It’ll allow us to develop programmes that reinvest back into communities where the artists are from, but also other communities around Australia where First Nation creatives might not have access to digital design skills or design education or pathways into these commercial industries. So we’re really excited to be able to start that next phase of the business. ETS: We also want the agency to be really transparent with

ETS: Absolutely. I think when we’re looking at protecting our artistic culture, you see a lot of fake art coming in from overseas. A lot of people also, when they think about Aboriginal art, think of the traditional style dot paintings or the top end style artwork that’s become really popular. We really wanted to kind of encourage understanding that there’s more to the Aboriginal art space. We have Aboriginal artists in different graphic design industries, visual artists, muralists – we wanted to expand on that as well. Something that I’m really passionate about as well is opening up pathways for, and working with, younger artists who may not have grown up deeply connected to their culture. They’re still on a journey and inventing themselves as artists. With a bit of guidance they’re able to learn more about their culture and the types of art styles that belong to their people. NSJ: Solid Lines is really trying to change the face of Australia’s design industry. And for me, I think design is a powerful way to represent national identity and stories as an industry. So Solid Lines is kind of really shifting that narrative. It’s shifting the story of what Australian design is, what it represents, what its values are. Also, I guess, what it can look like. It’s all about creating a much more diverse and representative agency of what Australian design actually is that draws on all that rich heritage and knowledge of our first peoples. GDA: To get very meta, knowing that Good Design Australia defines “good design” as ideas, products, services, that show potential to lead a better, safer and more prosperous future for all, how would you both describe “good design” yourselves? NSJ: That is a hard question. I think maybe “good design” is something that tells an important story and offers an accurate representation of culture, or enables one to express themselves and their cultural heritage. Good design supports culture. ETS: And that extends to the world stage as well. Something that I would like to see in other countries is the blueprint of Solid Lines being established for other First Nations or Indigenous peoples so their cultures can be protected as well. For example, you see throughout the US and Canadian markets a lot of Native American style artworks being manipulated. So, I’d like to see good design and the Solid Lines blueprint supporting culture around the world.

Emrhan Tjapanangka Sultan: The artists that we spoke to at the very beginning stages of the artist consultation process felt like they weren’t being represented culturally, specifically around intellectual property. We found that a lot of agencies owned the rights to a lot of the artworks that were being designed by these artists. So, we wanted to make sure that what we set up with Solid Lines supported artists to own their own works.

GDA: There’s a phenomenal quote from artist Coree Thorpe on the Solid Lines website. It notes: “Aboriginal art is always evolving and we’re evolving as well. We don’t want to be pigeonholed as Aboriginal artists, but be acknowledged as contemporary artists in our own right”. Is this transformational shift something that Solid Lines is pining for?

—

Dr Nicola St John: The idea and the concept of Solid Lines really came from conversations Emrhan and I had around the lack of representation and access for First Nations creatives in these more commercially oriented, design-based industries. There weren’t these safe and supportive pathways to support First Nations artists to gain access to such spaces.

the artists, which is why it was really important for us to have those conversations with the artists to find out from them what was fair. We’ve heard too many stories of artists feeling like they were being ripped off by agencies within the industry, so being really transparent around where the funds are going and how they’ve been spent is important.

Good Design Australia: Before we dive into where Solid Lines is now, let’s jump backwards a bit to define the challenge it faces head-on.

Good Design Australia’s Automotive Design Award is a special accolade within the Automotive and Transport Category to recognise excellence in automotive design and styling.

COMMISSIONED BY Dan Bosschieter Toby Bosschieter DESIGNED IN

Australia

BRUDERX EXP-4 A German word, “Brüder” translates to brother, and it’s aptly the namesake of Dan and Toby Bosschieter’s Brisbane-based venture that’s committed to forging “the best off-road adventure trailers in the world”. Born out of a passion for exploration and leaning on collected knowledge from global travels well off the beaten track, the company’s approach to design is fuelled by sustainable, comfortable and unbridled adventure. The Bosschieter brothers were designing, developing and manufacturing military-spec off-road equipment for over a decade before founding Brüder. In that time, they emboldened a mission to innovate and build without limitation, fashioning off-grid companions that go where others cannot.

Patented designs and systems, thousands of hours of testing in the most demanding of conditions and sustainable manufacturing processes were therefore brought to life as Brüder came to be and pushed this ambitious vision forward. The robust, go-anywhere design and engineering of the Bruder EXP-4 allows us to stray further and do more, allowing all; experienced and inexperienced to reconnect and understand what we must preserve and protect. The compact EXP-4 facilitates a relationship between the wilderness and each other. Compact in size, compact in footprint, compact in impact. The EXP-4 leaves nothing behind but allows you to take all of your experiences with you as you leave.

Good Design Australia: First of all, congratulations on two Brüder innovations earning accolades in this year’s Australian Good Design Awards! How did it feel to be recognised on a global stage? Dan Bosschieter: Shocking to say the least! I got up there when we got the first award and I thought, “Yep, this is awesome”, and then they kept rolling out and I quickly realised that I didn’t really prepare for any of this. Besides that, it was fantastic. I would have to assume that anyone that’s received any of the Awards could tell you about all the tears, trials and everything behind it, but it was very, very humbling at the end of the day. To be a growing company and be compared to some of the other big groups that are out there was incredible. GDA: Brüder began as a venture between two brothers pining for adventure. How does a childhood of exploration embody itself in the company vision? DB: I guess the forefront of it is to try and design things that will go wherever we want to go. It’s mentioned in one of our catchphrases: to unleash adventure around the globe. So, it’s been all about trying to design a capsule that enables people to do that. Moreover, when you consider the old story: “When you have the time, you don’t have the funds, and when you’ve got the funds, you don’t have the time”, the truth is, some people do have both. Brüder can allow them to go into a position or scenario they’ve never been able to experience before, like, go properly off road and properly off grid at a level of comfort that’s never been possible.

GDA: To quote: “Brüder was born after a decision to create the best off-road trailers in the world”. What exactly are the elements that make an off-road trailer a world-best? DB: We are obviously going to be a little biased, but it’s honestly the whole thing from the ground up. People often ask about what makes us unique? Or, what makes it able to do what it does? The fact of the matter is, the design process sees us thinking very carefully about the design of each individual component and how it can contribute to a better product overall. For example, yes, we’ve got our own patented suspension system, but it’s why we chose that vault to go there and why we don’t have rubbers in our suspension bushes that brings an entirely new dynamic to life. Even with the chassis, we built a very unique system around the way in which the body reacts with the chassis so that it works in harmony with the suspension. It’s not a specific part, it’s a thought-through process that creates something in the end that didn’t exist before. GDA: Coming away with the Best Interior and Exterior Automotive Design Awards for the EXP-8 and EXP-4 respectively, the projects are obviously ticking the “good design” box of Good Design Australia. As a team though, how would Brüder describe the concept of “good design”? DB: I’ll actually go with the three F’s. Most people talk about form and function, but I’d say there needs to be form, function and fun. I’d also say that for something to be a good design, simple is better. But, if you’re going to keep something simple, it needs to work and be doing something in a way that’s new and unique. It’s why, from a company perspective, we purposely don’t go and check out caravan or RV shows because we’re just going to get ideas that are already out there. So we look to other industries, like trucking or boating, a lot actually. The people there have got some pretty cool concepts and different ways of looking at things that inspire us to stay ahead of the curve and stay innovating. Good design here at Brüder also means not sitting still – coming up with new ideas. It’s why we love bringing young heads onboard, some that haven’t even been in the industry. It brings fresh ideas and fresh concepts, and they probably get sick of me saying nope, try that, nope, try that, but every now and then it’s like, “that’s a cracking idea, let’s give it go, test it out, see what happens”. If it’s a good concept, we will make it work.

In a few situations, we’ve been blessed with being able to work with different groups that come to us with a problem and give us the freedom to design from the ground-up. To make a long story short, we’ve taken these opportunities and wondered, “what else can we use that shell for? How can we reimagine that?”.

So, while this means we can’t compete on price, we can compete on quality. To do this, we’re ensuring that every facet of what we’re doing is better. It makes us think about everything from our composites to our resins to our cabinetries to our colours, innovating to make sure that we’re at the forefront of the industry and not following anyone. GDA: You say you want to make sure there is a world to explore for the next generation and beyond, so what comes into play in your design process to pave this way forward? DB: Sustainability plays a huge part in what we do and making sure we’re at the pointy end of waste mitigation comes into play there. In the manufacturing phase, for example, 97% of the offcuts produced in the construction of one trailer are reused in another, while bio-resins are used at all points we can. When on the road, “treading lightly” is a concept talked about a lot – not digging up cracks, creating big ruts and things like that. So, the whole design of the trailer and how the suspension works actually enables the car to travel easier. This means that not only is fuel consumption lowered, it will actually roll over rough terrain a lot easier and hence the car doesn’t start spinning wheels and shooting dirt up in front. Also, the track width of the trailers are actually designed to follow the car, meaning the trailer isn’t pushing more sand or soil down or knocking over trees in its wake. So, when we’re talking about sustainability, we’re looking at it with a much bigger, holistic point of view. It’s not just in the manufacturing and the materials that we use, it’s all about the designs in action too.

Some testing is even more outside the box. The EXP-8 actually started out as a mobile geological laboratory, spending three years in the Middle East in 50+ degree heat before that design went to the public market. We’ve gone to continents all around the world for testing and trialling, as far as North America, South America, Africa. Right from the word go, we’re ensuring that each core component is going to handle what it needs to do.

DB: I’ll openly say that manufacturing in Australia is challenging. There’s lots of opportunities from other countries and other areas, but the big thing behind us working in Australia is probably because we were born and bred here – obviously everyone’s a little bit patriotic.

—

DB: Like all designers, we do get things wrong, so it’s through genuine testing that we made sure that everything was right before they went to market. Luckily, being where we are [south-east Queensland], we have pretty good access to some pretty harsh environments. There are plenty of beaches nearby, Fraser Island for example, and we’ll drive 14 hours out into the Simpson Desert in January or February when the conditions are most challenging. So, most of our testing trips are usually when people aren’t around, because we want to try and get the “wrong” weather conditions first.

GDA: Brüder manufactures in two sites based in Brisbane, Australia. Can you speak to the ins and outs of Australian design and manufacturing, especially in a time where the majority of automobile manufacturing has moved overseas?

GDA: To mark something as a world-best, you’d assume a lot of testing would be involved. What did the testing process of these trailers entail?

BioScout innovates at the crossroads of agriculture, artificial intelligence, engineering and sustainability to form a world-first disease detection system that we can see becoming a staple in modern farming. In addition to protecting the environment from over spraying, it saves valuable time and materials. From its autonomous nature to its cloud-based information capturing, BioScout is sympathetic to its surroundings and offers a transformational solution to farmers and agronomists alike. The design shows a clear understanding of the harsh environments it’s made to operate within and an ambition to uplift the future of farming – well done.

JURY COMMENT

The BioScout system is a groundbreaking technology for tracking airborne diseases.

Challenge Agricultural growers rely on intuition and symptomatic indicators to manage crop disease; this inevitably results in them spraying too much, too often, and at the wrong time. BioScout aimed to see the ‘unseeable’ and react to disease presence weeks before it impacts the crop, revolutionising how farmers manage crop diseases by providing real-time analysis of a crop’s microclimate and delivering it directly to the farmer’s hand. It enables quick implementation of necessary preventative measures only when necessary.

Solution The BioScout system is a groundbreaking technology for tracking airborne diseases. This system is entirely self-sustained and can function continuously for years without human intervention. BioScout developed unique data and artificial intelligence (AI) to track the spread of fungal diseases on farms, providing growers and agronomists with real-time, location, and disease-specific data. Each unit is solar-powered, easy to install, and can withstand harsh environmental conditions. Its extensive array of sensors enables it to function as a comprehensive weather data collection station, whilst discretely and harmoniously sitting among prestigious vineyards.

Impact BioScout’s system is a world-first in airborne disease tracking that has revolutionised the traditional management of agricultural diseases. Already the device has had extensive use in the field and is proving to have a profoundly positive impact on the farming practices of those using it. Resulting in farmers using less chemical spraying, which benefits the environment, promotes healthier crops, and prevents disease outbreaks by allowing farmers to detect and address issues early on.

BioScout takes the guessing game out of crop spraying. Farmers are being notified in real-time when diseases are present, providing greater peace of mind and satisfaction.

Agricultural growers traditionally rely on their own intuition and symptomatic indicators to manage crop disease. While the incredible knowledge and experience of the world’s growers cannot be understated, these orthodox approaches can sometimes leave room for ailments to take hold unknowingly, or misguide overseers down damaging avenues of management and overspraying.

BioScout sees the unseeable in a range of complex agricultural settings and can function continuously for years without human intervention. By detecting issues early on, it empowers growers to rely less on chemical spraying and promotes healthier, higher-yield crops. Already, the device has seen incredible success out in the field, affording farmers and viticulturists a means to take the guessing game out of their disease control measures.

In the face of an increasingly organic world, growing agricultural costs and a greater understanding of the possible adverse effects of disease eradication measures, the BioScout team recognised an opportunity for a revolutionary technology to fill in the blanks. The result was a world-first airborne disease tracking device that equips growers and agronomists with autonomous insights into a crop’s microclimate.

Good Design Australia spoke with Lisa Gyecsek and Robert Tiller of Tiller Design, who collaborated closely with the BioScout Team, to dive deeper into the incredible innovation.

The BioScout system is a self-sustaining, solar-powered unit that sits harmoniously in fields and vineyards. Using an in-built spore sampler and an array of sensors, it captures airborne particles in real-time, collecting location and disease-specific data that is uploaded to a cloud-based server. Machine learning algorithms are then applied to identify and classify spores at speed before notifying farmers and allowing for immediate action.

Good Design Australia: It’s commonly said that the agricultural space is rooted in tradition, so how would you describe the role design, and specifically technological design, plays within the industry? Lisa Gyecsek: I think there actually is a lot of technology out there. The universities are producing amazing inventions and having amazing success with a lot of the theories and findings. The big challenge really in the industry, is making that leap into commercialisation and making it into a product that is useful for the masses. That’s where it comes unstuck, and I believe that’s because it’s a journey that’s not familiar to a lot of people. BioScout is a perfect example of people coming together with a great idea, passion and the industry smarts, to coordinate it well and make a difference. GDA: BioScout aims to see the “unseeable” diseases in a crop. How exactly does it target and detect these ailments? LG: It catches and identifies a range of spores and algae. It uses a carefully regulated airflow intake to draw in the surrounding air, across an adhesive film, to trap and collect airborne pathogens, pollens and particles. It’s like putting a roll of sticky tape out into the wind and collecting what’s there. It knows all the environmental conditions around its capture and the exact timestamp of when it was caught, and then uses high definition, microscopic photographic imagery to zoom in and identify what it finds. The collected data is securely sent to the cloud and into a live database where information surrounding any detected spores or disease is sent out as an alert to a farmer, or whoever’s interfacing with it. They will immediately know, in real-time, what’s happening out there in the crop environment. GDA: How did the design journey begin? LG: Tiller Design was engaged by BioScout, and they basically had a proof of concept that we took apart and redesigned in order for it to be a commercial product. That meant re-engineering the product, which we did in 3D CAD, and assembling it all so that each part is reproducible on a manufacturing scale. So, injection moulding, die casting, fabricating any jigs and fixtures that needed to go together, making sure that the assembly held and optimising the critical architecture of the internal fans and the cameras. We also ensured the right material was selected so it didn’t disintegrate under UV light and that the housing was able to hold larger capacity batteries. One of the main features that the BioScout team asked us to incorporate was a spore-collecting cassette tape that was user friendly. We needed to ensure it didn’t require the hand of any highly-skilled technicians to go out and change it, and that anyone could swap cassettes in and out without breaching any of its structural integrity. Before we were engaged, the cassette was non-existent. GDA: BioScout seemingly offers a transformational solution within the agricultural space. How would you describe design’s potential to revolutionise industry, especially in the face of an increasingly organic agricultural world?

Skilled design leads to devices, services, and objects that people interact with. Inherently, getting anything to market and meeting all the various conflicting requirements that something might need is in better hands if they’re design hands. Lots of people need help to process and action change, and a key role designers play is to facilitate that change. A design mindset leads a powerful way of thinking. It facilitates change and helps give clarity to complex problems. GDA: Zooming out even further, how would you define the concept of ‘good design’? RT: I think there’s an under rated ingredient in the concept of good design – the tuning into and use of empathy. There’s a lot of emphasis and talk about human factors, human centred design, usability, commercial success, the general improvement of use – it’s always in a very human centric context. When you step out into something like the BioScout project, you start to see the environmental context, the interplay with people and the environment. I’d like to see more emphasis in design on our holistic place in the environment. We’ve got to use our empathy and creativity to look at the holistic nature of what we do. Good Design takes all things into consideration. GDA: Moving away from the concept of human-centred design? RT: Not exactly, consideration to a bigger frame of reference – it’s not just people it’s also the environment. Human-centred design is obvious for me. If you’re designing anything it’s got a human centric focus. Good design, and the whole prospect of engaging with a good design team, is to affect an outcome that’s positive. That outcome needs to be positive on many fronts, not just commercial, usability, but its general impact. As it lives as a thing in the world, it has impact, and we should be directly responsible for that impact. LG: Agreed. Good design is understanding really what the problem is and justifying that it’s a problem that needs to be solved. RT: Yes, that’s a really understated point. It’s so important to pause and check that the problem you’re solving is actually one that needs solving, because design, by its nature, is cyclic. LG: A product’s whole lifecycle is often unspoken, but it’s up to a good designer to consider the whole circle of that product’s life. It means assessing that a new design actually meets a lot more requirements than the brief that’s behind the whole project in the first place. So, the task in itself to be good, is actually far greater than usually it sets out to be in the beginning.

—

Robert Tiller : That’s a big question, where to start? The potential for design to help is enormous. Designers are generally curious people, inquisitive people, and we’re not afraid of big problems. The challenge of solving complex problems actually makes things exciting. So, in the context of large scale agricultural issues, we’re very excited to get involved and start using design skills, design capabilities and curiosity to help create new ways of doing things.

Reef Design Lab Alex Goad

COMMISSIONED BY

City of Greater Geelong

DESIGNED IN

Australia

EMU (erosion mitigation units) are a series of artificial reef modules that form a permeable barrier designed to reduce the height and energy of waves. This provides coastal erosion protection during storm surges, supporting sand accretion while also providing an intertidal habitat for native oysters, seagrass, fish, and marine invertebrates.

—

The Erosion Mitigation Units is a fascinating project that’s not only aesthetically sympathetic, but respectful of the natural and powerful processes of the ocean. In this way, it innovatively challenges damaging and outdated erosion mitigation techniques that still plague the Australian coastline. Their permeable design effectively enables marine colonisation, blending the natural and man-made beautifully. Meanwhile, the careful choice of materials displays a consideration of ecological impact. Finally, a clever use of manufacturing approaches manages to increase yields without increasing costs — amazing! We can see these units being implemented world-wide, the potential for impact here is profound.

JURY COMMENT

The solution needed to be sympathetic to the natural environment and designed to blend in harmoniously over time.

Challenge The City of Greater Geelong required a series of cost effective reef modules that would attenuate wave energy while creating habitat for native species and a snorkelling attraction for local residents. Standard coastal protection approaches are often seen as unsightly and can alter ecological and physical processes. Therefore the solution needed to be sympathetic to the natural environment and designed to blend in harmoniously over time. The brief also required that the units be easy to install and made from low energy eco friendly materials that would withstand the harsh marine conditions.

Solution EMU’s are a series of 2 metre wide modules that have an optimised geometry creating a more complex surface which led to greater wave dissipation. This allowed us to create an organic sculptural aesthetic that was ideal for including the complex habitat niches required for marine colonisation. When positioned together the modules create an undulating effect allowing snorkelers to safely glide between the system. Manufactured from a reusable moulding system and cast in a low energy concrete mixture with recycled shell and integrated lifters the modules are easily installed in the marine environment using standard low impact techniques.

Impact

—

As climate change drives extreme weather events there is a global movement away from hard coastal engineering towards softer nature based approaches. Through ecologically inclusive design our solution is redefining what these approaches can look like and how they can work to benefit the local community and the environment. The installation for Geelong has already become a safe and accessible location for school tours where students can learn about nature based solutions to coastal erosion and how habitat design can be included in marine structures.

Reef Design Lab ideates, prototypes, manufactures and implements coastal solutions for real impact, marrying the needs of nature and humanity across a range of nature-inspired innovations. To paraphrase Founder Alex Goad, they thrive within the space of ecologically-inclusive design, where all species – not just humans – are equally considered. Embodying the studio’s unique approach, Reef Design Lab’s Erosion Mitigation Units (EMUs) are a series of swell attenuating artificial reef modules. They steer away from the hard coastal engineering approaches of the past to solidify a softer nature-based solution. Not only forming a permeable barrier to reduce the height and energy of waves, they provide a rich habitat for native sea creatures and offer an incredible sight for snorkelers.

After almost a decade of scientific research, negotiations and approvals, the first EMUs were installed at Clifton Springs on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria earlier this year. Each sculptured module has created a complex range of habitat niches that have welcomed all kinds of marine life, including mussels, oysters and banjo rays. In-built rock pools also provide an intertidal habitat that birds love to feed on.

GDA: Around Australia, you see a lot of rock groynes and seawalls as the traditional coastal erosion solutions. Were there aspects of these traditional designs that EMU draws from? Or, was it trying to intentionally steer away from them? AG: I think it would be naive to say we’ve reinvented coastal protection, but we’re quite interested in how we can bring in a more of a designed approach to how we build. Looking to the future, we are unfortunately going to have to continue to build a lot of coastal protection structures, but I also think this exposes an opportunity to create habitat and bits of community infrastructure while protecting the coastline. GDA: The EMU features a rather interesting design. What details were you trying to balance with this? AG: Originally, the project was going to potentially be an underwater sculpture park of sorts and then be merged into a breakwater. We wanted to create an interesting aesthetic to be almost like a true underwater form – a sculptural breakwater, essentially. This gave us the opportunity to develop an undulating system which allows people to snorkel through the breakwater. Traditionally, breakwaters are very closed off and you can only swim around them, so EMU presents this very fluid, very porous type structure that challenges that. This brought on a deep-dive into eco-engineering principles that had us looking at surface textures, creating rock pools and little caves, implementing all these functional aspects. What’s really exciting about this is the more complex the surface geometry of the unit, the better colonisation of different organisms you’re going to get. However, within that, you also want to be sure that you don’t create geometries that might encourage invasive species as well. So we work really closely with a range of different scientists to ensure we’re designing in the right direction.

We’ve tried to pack all of that into these modules, all while making something that is economical to manufacture. Coastal protection is not an area of work where the budgets are super high – you’re essentially competing with cast concrete blocks – so that’s all come into play as well. GDA: You note that designing for nature as well as humanity is an important next step in the evolution of the built world, and this project is an important catalyst for that change in the coastal protection space. How would you describe design’s potential to face or challenge environmental challenges? AG: We’re in a particularly interesting area to really explore the realms outside human-centred design, so we see massive opportunity there. It really can be of value to everyone, the environment, people, various kinds of species, but I think it’s also important to be careful of greenwashing throughout the process. The issue with a lot of these kinds of work is they’re not complete solutions to any kind of environmental issue, they are just options to mitigate certain impacts. This means that truly impactful projects in the area need to be communicated properly. Otherwise, I think it waters down the potential of the field. It’s why we work really closely with scientists who publish a lot of papers on the sort of work that we do. They’re very honest about whether something we’ve installed has been really effective or not. With honesty, there’s huge potential for this work, and I believe we can only say it’s done in an appropriate way if there’s genuine, proven benefit. GDA: Good Design Australia defines ‘good design’ as ideas, products, projects and services that show potential to lead to a better, safer and more prosperous future for all. How would you describe ‘good design’ yourselves? AG: I’m not sure if I could sum it up in a more eloquent way than that! But, I think certainly what we think of as ‘good design’ is something you can have fun with. It’s important to bring joy into this kind of design work. We also think it’s important to bring in an interesting aesthetic language to push the message of what you’re trying to do, whether that’s eco-engineering, design for the natural environment or otherwise. Just to bring joy back into the product is a really important part for us. And I think that is, you know, what ‘good design’ can be. 58

Everything that we’re doing is founded in scientific collaboration. The Clifton Springs installation, for example, is being researched by the National Centre for Coasts and Climate who are with Melbourne University. They’re looking at oyster recruitment and fish aggregation. We work in a relatively new area of work, so it’s just really important to collaborate with a lot of different people to make sure what we’re doing is actually having a positive impact.

AG: We manufactured all of the units from a mould that we built in-house at our studio using digital manufacturing techniques. We then cast all the units like you normally would, but also incorporated recycled shells, which was something that Ralph Roob [Senior Environmental Engineer at City of Greater Geelong] suggested. One of the issues with incorporating any kind of shell product into concrete mixes, though, is that it can weaken the concrete because it’s a lot weaker than regular aggregate. So, to incorporate the shell without jeopardising the strength of the product, we vibrated and cast the units in a way that saw the shells come to the top – the surface of each unit. The resulting shell texture provides a great substrate for shellfish to colonise. We also used an eco-blended concrete mix with a lot of fly ash and various other byproducts to reduce the cement content.

—

Alex Goad: The whole point of the EMU installation down at Clifton Springs was to look into how you could create multi-benefits around engineered coastal infrastructure. It shows that an engineered concept can provide coastal protection, but also be this multi-benefit installation that people could snorkel on, swim around and be educated about eco-engineering. There’s already quite a few school groups that go down there. In my mind, it’s sort of a no-brainer I guess. We need to guard the ocean and we have to build this infrastructure. Why not do it in a more beautiful way?

GDA: How has a sustainable focus come into play with the use of materials and the manufacturing process?

Good Design Australia: The EMU project seems to do a lot more than mitigate coastal erosion. What else do these reef modules offer?

JURY COMMENT

Nightingale Village presents a new paradigm in demographically appropriate design that is sure to inspire more sustainable, community-centred developments. We commend the ambitious architectural vision to challenge the investment status-quo of many modern constructions and, especially, the connectedness of the construction process that involved prospective residents every step of the way. The project transformed a drab collection of warehouses into a precinct bound to invigorate, and it’s clear that it will make a positive impact on its city and future architectural developments.

CHALLENGE

When the Nightingale Village architects acquired the Brunswick site in 2017, the neighbourhood offered limited high-quality options for prospective homeowners, between the increasingly unaffordable freestanding houses west of the train line, and poorly-built shoebox apartments closer to Sydney Road. The vision for Nightingale Village was to create liveable medium-density homes where people would settle and create community, while minimising environmental impact in both construction and operation. The project takes its name from Nightingale Housing, a Melbourne-based organisation aiming to reorient the broken Australian housing market towards providing homes for people, not real estate as a commodity generating revenue for investors. SOLUTION

Each architecture team brought a distinct aesthetic to their building, while collaborating closely to ensure maximum benefit to residents and neighbouring communities. They activated the street through commercial ground-level spaces and landscaped pedestrian-only zones with in-built seating. They centralised building services, negating the need for six separate substations and water systems. They devised a design response affording passive surveillance and street engagement from living area balconies, and peace and privacy in bedrooms. They followed Nightingale Housing’s sustainability principles including passive design and material reductionism. They engaged with purchasers throughout construction, ensuring residents had formed connections before moving into their homes. IMPACT

Duckett Street has been transformed from a drab cluster of single-storey brick warehouses, to a vibrant precinct where locals linger to talk, grab coffee and groceries, or stop by the florist or bike workshop. Where vehicles formerly dominated, car access has been partially replaced by landscaping and public seating. Prior to Nightingale Village, three trees comprised the only greenery in the area, at the north edge of the site. The architects successfully lobbied the local council to develop a new green space, and the resulting Bulleke-bek Park is popular with the local community. The three existing trees still stand there.

CHALLENGE

DESIGNED IN

Australia

SOLUTION

Through authentic set-dressed cells, life-size projections, historical artifacts, and photographs, our design solution drew inspiration from the concept of 'if these walls could talk.' We aimed to put the people of the prison at the core of the experience, bringing their unheard voices to life through two location-aware audio journeys: “B-Division: Pentridge Through Time;” and/or “H-Division: Unlocked,” confronting some of the most brutal elements of the site’s history. The immersive experience was further enhanced with powerful interpretive design within the cells, integrating the original Bluestone walls as a storyteller, where projected media is displayed directly on the surface. IMPACT

The redevelopment of Pentridge Prison inside an urban renewal project contextualises 150 years of a hidden regime. Against the backdrop of a modern-day neighborhood, there’s a confronting story. By shedding light on the history of the prison within the larger continuing story of Wurundjeri Land, we sought to ensure this history would not be lost or whitewashed. Moreover, the experience provokes contemplation on the nature of transgression, retribution, and rehabilitation. Ultimately it asks visitors to consider the broader social and ethical implications of incarceration, highlighting the need for a more nuanced and empathetic approach to criminal justice.

An immersive, historical and authentic project that captures a raw part of Victoria’s past. Not only does it provoke visitors to question the nature of brutal incarceration, it also harnesses the stories surrounding Wurundjeri Land to ensure its narratives are not lost in the experience. We commend the multimedia design of the project, using audio, video, photography and physical recreations to really draw visitors into the depths of the prison, and believe the project vividly portrays the murkiness of Pentridge's complex history.

JURY COMMENT

We were challenged to create an immersive visitor experience that fully realises the National Trust's vision to ensure the true heritage of Pentridge Prison is not forgotten. This involved integrating an exploration of the site's 150-year history with powerful first-hand accounts from those who spent time there. The experience was designed to provoke visitors to consider the nature of retributive justice in our society and to confront the complex and sometimes unsettling history of Victoria's penal system. Art Processors created a thought-provoking and confronting journey that juxtaposes the stark history of Pentridge with the modern redevelopment of the wider precinct.

JURY COMMENT

The sustainability considerations of the Delatite Cellar Door enhances its exceptional function as a commercial space. It beautifully demonstrates the power of architectural and interior design to benefit business, the environment and the consumer, innovating to deliver an exceptional experience for all. It truly is a landmark development for the Mansfield community and respectfully appreciates the sheer beauty of Taungurung Country. Well done on this vibrant, interconnected development.

CHALLENGE

Delatite are committed to sustainability via their biodynamic farming and wine production practices and aim to minimise their impact on the natural environment. The building is designed to respond to the established core values of our clients. The brief for the building included a tasting bar, retail space, commercial kitchen and small dining room, a large outdoor deck, landscaped terraces, separate amenities block, wood storage, back of house areas and storage. Designed to showcase Delatite’s wines, the project was to be a destination Cellar Door and accommodate a multitude of experiences including festivals, local markets, tours, dining, and private events. SOLUTION

The building is a group of pavilions linked to courtyards, terraces, and decks. Blade walls extend into the landscape, with curated openings allowing glimpses through and across the building and surrounding vines. The entry is designed to respond to the scale and splendour of the mountain range. In contrast the timber clad tasting room and dining space nestle against the solid masonry providing shelter inside for the occupants. The reduced palette of timbercrete, timber lining, concrete aggregate and raw steel is used to create robust forms, frame views, draw light into the building and create a warm and generous interior. IMPACT

The project demonstrates that architectural design can exceed the sustainable goals of a hospitality venue and provide delightful and enduring spaces to inhabit. The building is 100% electric, and operationally net-zero benefiting the business, the environment, and the patron. The building was designed to be as thermally comfortable as possible. Public spaces are sited with northern light, and outdoor shaded areas help minimise energy consumption. Materials specified can be reused and recycled and are from sustainable sources supporting a circular economy. It is a landmark development for the Mansfield community and since opening Delatite have tripled their visitation numbers.

JURY COMMENT

This project sensitively approaches a social and cultural issue with a phenomenal vision and a considered solution. We commend the clear understanding of the changing industry in Angsila, and the design beautifully draws on tradition to inform a present resolution. It’s impactful and innovative, reigniting a pastime by extracting the beauty from it. An absolute world-class example of place design.

CHALLENGE

Once a thriving small-scale fishing town, the Angsila fishing community have recently struggled to sustain their fisheries way of life. Unfiltered waste/runoff from nearby factories and new suburbs released into the rivers and canals which feed directly into Angsila Bay, have diminished water quality and decreased the seafood population in Angsila Bay. The reduced seafood cultivation and diminishing profits have forced many locals to abandon the traditional fisheries way of life. In particular, the younger generation have left their hometown and fishing heritage to seek more profitable factory, office, or retail jobs in nearby Bangkok. SOLUTION

The pavilion design draws on and “bastardizes” the widely deployed bamboo scaffolding, traditionally used for oyster cultivation. The hybrid pavilion is composed of two parts. The permanent bottom portion is a fully functioning oyster farm, while the dis-assembleable top portion, a red-canopied bamboo platform, is utilized as an oyster tasting platform. The structure is built entirely by Angsila Fishermen, utilizing local shallow-ocean bamboo construction techniques. Fishermen drive each bamboo column into the ocean bottom with their own weight, "pogo-stick" style. The cross beams are attached to the columns with water-proof car seatbelts acquired at discount from nearby auto plants. IMPACT

The Pavilion aims to heighten the harmony and beauty that exists between the traditional oyster farm seascape and the Angsila's coastal ecology, a unique example of how sensitive, measured human extraction from the natural seascape can result in an "uplifting" experience. The scaffolding experience also allows the fishermen to "rebrand" and rediscover Angsila seafood. At the same time, it creates new job opportunities for the rest of the communities in the eco-tourism sector. Fishermen can create boat tours to the scaffolding between fishing hauls. Local food vendors introduce authentic seafood dishes on the scaffolding in special "ocean-to-table" meals.

New Zealand

SOLUTION

A co-created design was essential, so we worked with cultural design lead and respected Maori artist Eugene Kara. Regular check-ins with the client, stakeholders and board ensured a smooth process. Initial brainstorming sessions were led alongside Eugene and Norm Hill, referencing a unique indigenous bat (pekapeka) and its cultural symbolism, physical aspects of the airport (the runway) and its role as a waharoa (gateway). We led implementation across all main brand outputs, developing the final design system with Eugene providing oversight and feedback. All creative agencies collaborated, from architects to brand, art, landscape, and signage, creating a unified brand experience. IMPACT

The overall process delivered a powerful and cohesive brand for Hamilton Airport. The co-creation team, incorporating two cultural leads, resulted in a master brand with a genuine connection to history, land and local culture. Having the client team closely involved throughout meant we were able to achieve the best possible outcome.

The design of this branding project for Hamilton Airport is empowered by incredible collaborative skills and a deep sense of place. It shows a clear sense of authenticity with its deep respect for the area’s history, understanding that to plan for the future, one must appreciate and uplift the past. We commend the thorough co-design process and the engagement of many Maori cultural and knowledge leaders throughout the project. We believe all place branding initiatives can learn from this incredible project.

JURY COMMENT

Like any sensitive place branding work, this project had many considerations and a far-reaching impact. To ensure the process remained highly consultative, we assembled a group of over 25 stakeholders including airport management, the business park development team, local iwi, council representatives, Hamilton and Waikato Tourism, and local businesspeople. Iwi cultural advisor Norm Hill played a key role providing a hands-on, tikanga-led perspective and in-depth knowledge of the local iwi history and land. This critical partnership helped us define the central brand idea – ‘Where your story starts.’ The project’s discovery stage began during lockdown, making online collaboration even more complex.

For over 70 years, the asthma puffer has remained unchanged. Luckily, PALM seemingly packs 70 years of innovation into a future-proof breathing device that simplifies health management for those with asthma. We commend the design’s focus not only on producing a better puffer alternative, but an optimised system and user experience. The way the device captures use and intermingles weather and pollen data is incredible, as is the project’s yearning to generate high-value technological solutions with what’s collected.

CHALLENGE

Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) disproportionately affect children and the elderly. The standard “puffer” requires high levels of coordination and education to be used correctly, presenting major barriers for these demographics. Our research uncovered untackled lifestyle challenges of living with these conditions. Spacers alleviate coordination issues with puffers but remove the portability and speed of inhalers. Meanwhile, unexpected weather events such as storms that raise pollen levels can send sufferers to hospital and in some cases, lead to death. Sufferers are in need of more than just a new inhaler, they need managing their health to be simplified. SOLUTION

Our innovative Personalised Airway and Lung Management device, or PALM, stems from utilising our unique aerosolising technology with an intuitive, data-driven experience. Multiple years of engagement with hundreds of patients and importantly the key stakeholders that surround them, has enabled us to develop a solution that solves numerous user problems while also enriching the experience. By providing breath-activated medication, an ergonomic and discrete ‘palm’ sized form and data tracking, we help users to reduce medication use, improve the efficacy of their treatment and manage their own complex health routine. These factors assist with preventing serious injury while improving patient-clinician engagement. IMPACT

Australia has the highest rate of asthma per capita in the world, while COPD is our 5th leading cause of death. Our research will help to reduce the 13 million missed school days for children with asthma and improve the livelihood of COPD sufferers. Puffers create significant negative impacts on the environment as they are single-use and use harmful hydrofluorocarbon propellants. Our high-tech solution is reusable and uses no propellants. Our research has attracted significant government funding and engagement with relevant industry partners. Asthma and COPD sufferers need a better inhaler, but more importantly, a better system and user experience.

It innovates to challenge an inefficient and complex system faced every day by dental clinics, presenting an ambitious design process on the journey there. We commend the team’s clear understanding of the problem and the development of a solution that saves time, money and waste, all while uplifting productivity in the workplace. The outcome of this research is an immaculate and consistent service that contributes to the success of dental clinics.

Stock ordering in dental clinics is complex, time-consuming, and often unreliable. For every patient, 10 to 20 different products are used. Each product has a variety of suppliers and sellers, all with their own account management and ordering methods. As a result, dental clinics are constantly managing their inventory, placing significant strain on staff and potentially affecting patients. The design challenge involved researching and developing a new way of bringing products to dental clinics that was more convenient and more confidence. SOLUTION

Our solution is a monthly subscription service called Always. Always bundles and sends the nine essential disposable dental items every clinic needs. These nine items cover 80% of every day patient product needs, thereby significantly reducing the amount of time a clinic needs to spend in managing their orders. The project engaged in mix-methods research, ideation and prototyping Challenges: • Ensuring the right quantities for each clinic through a formula derived from prototyping and testing • Overcoming complexities with having consistent order amounts w/varied glove sizes • Choosing the type of products to ship (utility vs quality vs price) IMPACT

The outcome of Always is a website offering clinics to subscribe and/or one of two products - each with the same set of the same nine essential items. Now clinics are able to easily cover the majority of their clinical product needs without needing to coordinate, reorder, wait and then review if the order has arrived in tact. This reliability in the ordering process means a reduced level of stress and concern for the clinical staff, as well as saving time and money.

Climate change is degrading coral reefs faster than science can track. ReefCloud is a transformational digital tool that provides insights into the state of coral reefs 700 times faster than a human and with 90% accuracy. This helps scientists work together in real-time to protect our precious reef ecosystems. CHALLENGE

Coral reefs occupy only 1% of the ocean floor but are home to over a quarter of all marine life. Over half a billion people depend on reefs for food, income and protection. Climate change, overfishing, pollution and other threats have already severely damaged half of the world’s corals and it’s predicted that by 2050, 90% will be critically endangered if action is not taken now. Globally, scientists compare images of coral reefs to inform the way we manage and protect them. To date, this has been a painstakingly slow and laborious manual process – which means critical action is delayed. SOLUTION

IMPACT

Open source, real-time data is available to the global reef preservation community, democratising access to insights. With over 1.3 million images from 24 countries, the algorithm has created over 62 million data points on the health of the world's reefs to date. Interactive dashboards, report cards and data access tools enable rapid interpretation, reporting and communication on coral reef conditions across the world. ReefCloud also directly supports tracking of global targets and initiatives for SDG 14 and the Convention on Biological Diversity by providing insights from a local to a global scale and suggesting course corrections to meet desired outcomes.

—

ReefCloud looks incredible and has great potential for impact. The technology implemented throughout the project is undoubtedly transformational and we’re excited to see how it will be used to optimise reef protection. The Jury commends the design team for this outstanding project and for setting the bar for good design in this category - we look forward to seeing the positive impact ReefCloud will make. Seriously well done.

Increased speed in diagnosing issues and managing them is critical to optimise reef protection. Using machine learning and AI, ReefCloud automates data processing and analysis of coral reef images, enabling the global reef community to observe changes in real-time to determine the most effective action needed. The data is open source on a global platform, overcoming the challenge of limited capacities for monitoring, especially in developing countries. Through design research, prototyping and testing we overcame the challenge of presenting complex data in a way that makes sense to a range of audiences - marine biologists, policy-makers, reef communities and the public.

JURY COMMENT

Annalise.ai presents an exemplary project that recognises the importance of a clinician-led future for AI in healthcare. It successfully applies AI to improve context-sensitive design and achieve exceptional UI. We commend the use of such technology leveraged in diagnostic and prioritisation processes, and appreciate the deeply iterative design process that empowered it. We are eager to see Annalise.ai work alongside clinicians in the years ahead.

CHALLENGE

Medical imaging is crucial for early disease detection and treatment, but radiologists face increasing demand and workload. As a “second set of eyes” Annalise.ai helps doctors triage and diagnose confidently, reducing the risk of missing life-threatening conditions. Through iterative design research — 100's hours observing, interviewing and testing with 100s of international radiologists — we understood the intense time pressure, unique environment, and fatigue of radiology, so UX design was hyper-focused on ergonomics and cognitive aspects load, usability and speed. SOLUTION

Radiologists often interact with highly dense, sometimes user-hostile UIs and use dual-handed input via voice and mouse but minimal keyboard use and are hyper-sensitive to distraction and impediments. The UI design is carefully designed to these sensitivities while the UX eliminates constant manual adjustment while the UI seeks to focus all user attention on detecting critical findings and especially focussed on ergonomics by minimising "eye miles" and clustering supporting information in deliberate spacial relationship to the medical images being interrogated. IMPACT

A tool constantly used under such pressure must be lightweight, low-friction, effective and pleasing to sustain use and positively impact this critical work. Annalise has assisted radiology reporting for over 1 million patients through constant, highly repeated use by radiologists and clinicians, and 93% continue this high-intensity use after 2 months, with 90% indicating it positively impacts their reporting.

Social Mobility in the Digital Age is mind-blowingly brilliant. In addition to being uniquely artistic and engaging, it sets a new standard for interaction design and 'scrollytelling' infotainment. The talented design team have interpreted the themes of the text through graphics, imagery and a cornucopia of scrolling-driven animations. Crafted with admirable creativity and confidence, Social Mobility in the Digital Age is evocative, satisfying and unforgettable.

CHALLENGE

This project promised to look at social mobility in the digital age and the future economies that have emerged - the gig economy, the sharing economy, cryptocurrency, blockchain, etc. It’s a complex, interconnected series of topics - which made it an exciting challenge to create a design which could communicate this far-reaching research as engaging storytelling experiences. SOLUTION

We created two unique experiences. The first chapter provides the basis for understanding how social mobility has eroded over time. We wanted to convey a sense of the 20th Century - the grain, the fonts, the game metaphors and illustration styles. But make it somewhat ominous like the vast macroeconomic forces that move around us. The second chapter explores the digital revolution in progress. We wanted to communicate a sense of humanity meeting machines; that eerie feeling called “the uncanny valley” where our digital selves are ever more closely mapped to real life. IMPACT

The project encourages users to consider their role in shaping a more equitable future, sparking conversations about social mobility, technology, and economic inequality. “Social Mobility in the Digital Age” saw significant social sharing and has generated wide interest in a complex topic far beyond the reach of a scholarly article or economic report.

JURY COMMENT

The design of the Long-Range Survey Drone is a world-class example of Australian design and innovation. It challenges a multitude of shortfalls present in contemporary surveyance/ surveillance drones. The linear infrastructure allows it to gather critical aerial data safely and at-scale, while also maintaining exceptional sustainability standards. The Jury commends the specifically-developed design tools and clever use of materials that make up the aircraft. This project sets a global standard for Australian design and engineering.

CHALLENGE

Large-scale infrastructure (electricity transmission lines, pipelines, railways, mines, farms) requires regular inspections to identify faults, plan maintenance, and ensure serviceability. Inspections are currently done using crewed aircraft (helicopters and small fixed-wing). This is expensive, dangerous, and contributes significant carbon emissions. Drones have been proposed as an alternative but, so far, no commercially viable uncrewed aircraft had the range, practicality, and level of assurance to be a realistic challenger to incumbent crewed aircraft. Specifically, multirotor drones lack the range, and fixed-wing drones require impractical infrastructure for launch and retrieval (runways or catapults for launch and arrestor nets or parachutes for landing). SOLUTION

Combining an efficient fixed-wing airframe with Vertical Thake-Off and Landing (VTOL) capability allows operators to launch and retrieve from unprepared sites whilst enjoying the reach of multi-hour flight times. To achieve such efficiency, Carbonix developed sophisticated design tools and advanced materials - resulting in a lightweight strong airframe with exceptional power-to-weight and lift-to-drag. Enabling practical daily use required an intuitive user-interface, sophisticated automation logic, and robust long-range communications (switching between mesh radio, cellular, and satellite link). Combining the equipment necessary to achieve these capabilities into a compact streamlined package required a multidisciplinary coordinated innovative approach backed by thorough and extensive testing. IMPACT

Making data capture accessible at scale. Carbonix made it commercially viable to fly regular data-capture missions over distances that previously required crewed aircraft. Asset operators can now regularly gain detailed information affordably and safely (weekly flights covering 500+ Km, achieving sub-10mm resolution). Cutting carbon emissions by 98%. Carbonix drones carbon footprint is 2% of the crewed aircraft they replace. Downstream savings include fewer 'false positives' resulting in fewer unnecessary deployments of personnel on the ground. All with improved safety due to the aircraft operator remaining on the ground. Ground impact is also reduced because the noise footprint is virtually nil.

CHALLENGE

DESIGNED IN

Australia

SOLUTION

Supersend includes four legs containing weight measuring cells that send data once per day to the connected app via the 4G IoT network. This greatly reduces the amount of trips to site just to check hives. The product can be placed beneath any standard commercial beehive. At a site containing 200 hives, only 5 of the hives need Supersend to gain a broad understanding of how all hives are operating. Supersend is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, cost effective, secure, and a user-centred solution that meets the unique needs of the Australian market. IMPACT

Supersend has a significant impact on Australian commercial beekeeping by allowing beekeepers to remotely monitor hive performance, reducing the need for frequent and costly on-site visits. With Supersend, beekeepers can maximize honey production and efficiency while minimizing expenses, time spent traveling, and physical labor. This solution addresses the shortcomings of previous hive load scales, providing reliable and secure data on commercial hives. The reduction in travel time also greatly reduces vehicle emissions and helps commercial beekeepers improve efficiency during a time of mass destruction with the overrun of varoamite.

—

Supersend illustrates great research and understanding of the bee-keeping field and comes up with very considered solutions to common issues. We think the use of plywood is very much rationalised and understood. The Jury commends the student for this outstanding project and for setting the bar for good design in this category. Well done.

JURY COMMENT

Commercial beekeepers in Australia have to travel vast distances to check their hives which presents a significant challenge. Without onsite monitoring, hive performance can suffer due to delayed maintenance or missed opportunities to harvest honey. Current hive load scales on the market have not been designed with the user in mind. Other products have high initial and ongoing costs, minimal data security, unergonomic designs, lack of reliability and are not designed for Australian commercial beekeeping practices. This underscores the need for a more effective and efficient solution like Supersend to help beekeepers monitor their hives and optimize productivity.

We often see purifiers as floor-standing items that are shuffled around the room. No matter how good they look, they consume valuable floor space! However, by incorporating an air purifier into a ceiling fixture, the Sanso EvOne has successfully challenged the rather unattractive status-quo. It presents a great marriage of functionality and integration in the home, and we see it becoming a staple in minimal interior designs. Great job.

CHALLENGE

As we entered 2020, just as much of Australia was recovering from bushfires and some of the poorest air quality on record, conversations around an emerging virus further propelled the awareness of the benefits of air purification within the home and office. SOLUTION

Sanso is a single device that purifies and circulates air while providing an adaptable light and convenient control without clutter or cords. Over the course of a two-year period, we worked alongside our engineering and manufacturing partners, developing countless iterations before landing on the design we have today. Creating a product that functioned as intended while being sustainable with replaceable lighting and filter components was challenging. We overcame this challenge by utilising a replaceable GX53 globe in the heart of the unit, surrounded by a custom-designed filter. IMPACT

A custom-designed HEPA13 filter is at the heart of every Sanso air purifier, removing the finest pollutants and allergy-causing spores and pollens, reducing the risk of asthma, and improving the air quality within the home or office space. Working alongside the HEPA filter is Beacon Lightings' innovative LiveWell GX53 lamp. Developed alongside research conducted with Monash University, the exclusive LiveWell range is engineered to help increase concentration and improve sleep while providing better eye comfort thanks to its reduced flicker technology.

SYSTM is a stylish range of furniture designed to solve common hygiene, maintenance, comfort and styling issues with existing furniture in the Aged and Health Care sectors. Through deep considerations for practicality and storage, the chairs within the range can be more easily assembled and transported than other furniture in this sector. The project cleverly responds to design challenges to contribute to a better environment for carers and patients. The Jury commends the design team for creating a meaningful solution that clearly demonstrates a deep level of empathy for the most vulnerable people in our society. The Jury also commends the client for their commitment to professional design in this often forgotten sector.

CHALLENGE

The built environment sectors of aged care and health care have always had high demands for furniture in terms of cleaning, maintenance, and repair. Unfortunately, traditional approaches and responses to these needs have resulted in less expensive furniture being supplied in more ruggedised or industrial materials and finishes, with a shorter and more disposable life-cycles. Lifecare Australia felt it was time to take a fresh approach to furniture manufacturing, resulting in revolutionary designs which are better for our elders, better for our carers, and better for the environment. This was the ultimate design challenge that the Systm Furniture approach solved. SOLUTION

Systm offers a stunning collection of 21 Chairs and Sofas that are fundamentally different in design ethos, construction and market sales approach. Inside Aged / Health Care facilities, novice users, carers, or cleaning staff can easily disassemble Systm chairs. This allows for immediate maintenance, hygiene control, or general updates to the interior design space with ease, speed, and massive cost savings associated with care facility furniture assets. With Systm, there is no such thing as a short furniture life cycle; the innovative assembly system, combined with timeless designs, will allow facilities to manage their furniture indefinitely into the future. IMPACT

The design of the new Systm Furniture range is having a revolutionary impact on the market. Cleaning existing furniture solutions is difficult, which frequently leads to non-sustainable disposal and purchase of new furniture assets. To ensure that the chair can be easily cleaned of excrement, Systm allows for the quick and easy removal of upholstery layers or the removal of a back rest.

This project adapts an innovative approach to data analysis and visualisation that improves the efficiency of childhood cancer research and diagnoses. The collaborative approach taken to design the platform has ensured multi-disciplinary curation and precise interpretation. ZeroDash is a ground-breaking medical data tool that will help doctors and scientists create better treatment plans for Australian children with cancer. This is an incredibly important piece of work with great potential for positive impact - congratulations on an outstanding piece of work.

CHALLENGE

Expanding the ZERO program to cover all ~1000 children newly diagnosed with cancer each year presented a daunting challenge. The current approach requires on average 96 hours of careful manual analysis by expert scientists and doctors to curate the vast amount of data for each patient, making the process time-consuming and expensive. To address this, the process needed to be streamlined and made more efficient and reproducible, with reduced turnaround times and costs. By optimising the data interpretation challenge, ZERO can make the benefits of precision medicine accessible to more children, leading to earlier diagnoses and more personalised treatments. SOLUTION

ZERO found that none of the commercially available platforms were sophisticated enough to handle their complex cancer genome dataset, leading them to form a partnership with We Discover. In a fruitful 42-week collaboration, We Discover iteratively designed a customised and globally unique solution that met ZERO's design specifications for analysing and visualising cancer genome data. The new system is secure, scalable, and user-friendly, allowing for the seamless integration of dozens of diverse data sources. As a result, data curation and interpretation have been significantly streamlined, with reporting efficiency and turnaround times improving by over 50%. IMPACT

Beyond the obvious health benefits, the economic potential of precision medicine is enormous, with an estimated market value of $175.6B by 2030. However, data analysis and interpretation remain significant barriers to its widespread adoption. This project addressed these challenges as ZeroDash will enable ZERO to increase patient enrolment by eightfold with only a 25% increase in personnel. The platform has significant potential to expand further, perhaps to all 151,000 newly diagnosed adult cancer patients each year in Australia, or to support developing countries maximise their very limited healthcare personnel to realise the benefits of precision medicine.

Through the design of the Rocket Stove, Creatable has produced a deeply impactful, holistic solution to premature deaths from smoke inhalation. By ensuring the stove can be built in Burundi and offering educational resources, the project also works to inspire positive curriculum change and entrepreneurship. Through an exceptional use of co-design, teachers in Burundi have the opportunity to teach their students how to build their own Rocket Stoves for years to come. This is an exceptional project and the whole team should be extremely proud of the impact they are creating.

CHALLENGE

We needed to find engaging, relevant and reproducible STEM projects for the Burundi high-school students to engage with. It needed to be an experience that might inspire an entrepreneurial spirit and promote positive change in communities. At the same time, we had to be incredibly empathetic about the realities of life in the world's poorest nation. Limited access to materials and technology meant we needed to be considerate and inventive in how to teach the fundamental principles of innovation. We needed to highlight the impact these skills can bring by solving real problems that these young people face every day. SOLUTION

According to the WHO, smoke inhalation, caused by inefficient home-cooking devices, causes 4.3 million premature deaths every year, making it one of the most lethal environmental health risks worldwide. As such, we designed and tested a more efficient cooking fire that could be efficiently built out of the materials available to the people of Burundi. The Rocket Stove. We designed and illustrated a textbook for students and a handbook for teachers to teach the core principles of the stove with instructions on how to create one themselves. This was then translated into French as the Burundi language of choice. IMPACT

The Rocket Stove has been taught to thousands of young Burundians who have built and are using Rocket Stoves in their homes. One entrepreneurial group of students from the pilot program have created a business, making and selling rocket stoves for all the houses in their village. This course has been officially implemented in the Burundi curriculum. The second-order impact of this course has been incredible to witness. The wide adoption of the rocket stove in student homes, which use far less firewood, has meant that students who used to skip school to fetch firewood, no have to do so.

Athena’s Social Intelligence Dashboard presents a very novel way of ensuring effective bushfire-related alerts and intelligence gathering. By gathering information from social media, it helps firefighters better understand each emergency situation and reduce the consequences of the ‘bystander effect’. We are especially impressed by the feed customisation options and image recognition, both of which contribute to the exceptional performance of this platform. This project has the potential to create enormous impact in an area that desperately needs it. A huge congratulations to the design team on this incredible project. We hope to see this rolled-out world-wide!

CHALLENGE

Bushfire reporting has undergone a radical shift with the advent of social media. While "000" calls were once the norm, people have turned heavily to social media to post information about bushfires, and as a consequence are falling foul to the bystander effect; believing someone else has already reported the incident. Fire agencies need to increasingly rely on social media to enhance their situational awareness. By monitoring social media they can identify unreported incidents, assess public response, and gain insight into fire behaviour. But with billions of social media posts, how do agencies sift through to find meaningful public information? SOLUTION

Athena’s Social Intelligence Dashboard is a world-first emergency services workflow providing highly relevant public information to firefighters. Taking a human-centred service design approach, our solution improves past processes and reduces cognitive load. We created a machine learning model (ML) based on social media keywords and hashtags; through a process of user research, prototyping, and continuous improvement. By providing an interface for updating the ML model parameters, we enable agencies to continuously adapt to social media trends. Computer vision and real-time inference technologies are implemented to find pertinent imagery of fire location and behaviour, automatically attaching this data to relevant incidents. IMPACT

The Black Summer bushfires of 2019-2020 killed 33 people, killed or displaced an estimated 3 billion animals, destroyed 3,000 homes and 16 million hectares of land; representing $200 billion in damages. Athena’s Social Intelligence Dashboard helps prevent these catastrophic events from ever happening again. So far we have alerted authorities to 2 unreported grass fires and provided ongoing intelligence for a further 43 grass and bushfires throughout NSW. By providing agencies with early fire detection, identifying unreported bushfires and providing better understanding of fire behaviour; we can enhance response times, minimise fire spread, and reduce infrastructure and environmental damage.

JURY COMMENT

The pragmatic, contextual and culturally-appropriate design approach beautifully addresses the challenge of translating technology into a contribution to impact. Your design focus as described as 'of, by and for the women you work with' - is exactly what we are looking for in the Social Impact category. This is a highly innovative, proven and already scaling approach which is contributing to multi-faceted impact. Congratulations on your work and thank you for making a positive impact in our world.

In 1999, India's impoverished women farmers faced tough challenges of floods and droughts threatening their crops. This life-and-death problem was the design challenge. The solution had to be environmentally friendly, gender-centric, aligned with Mahatma Gandhi’s Antyodaya principle, cost-effective, easily replicable, energy independent, illiteracy-inclusive, and provide open-sourced knowledge for every farmer, irrespective of landholding, water-logging volume, geological formation, available materials, crop, soil types, knowledge or skill level. SOLUTION

BHUNGROO diverts excess floodwater from farmlands, filters and stores it within subsoil zones through Aquifer Storage Recovery, managed Aquifer Recharge Recovery, and Vertical Drainage Principles for reuse during drought. Despite zero financial or technical resources, women farmers utilised local knowledge and skills to conduct technology field trials. Over seven years, they successfully identified and refined solutions, resulting in 17 designs, each with a minimum of four variations, addressing the project goals for farmers across agro-ecological zones in India, South East Asia, East Asia, and Africa. IMPACT

BHUNGROO has significantly benefited thousands of rural women farmers, achieving miracles by mitigating drought impacts and realising the project goals. It is cost-effective, with zero gestation gap and inventory assembling, the solution is tailor-made, instilling confidence in unschooled women through skill utilisation, local materials, and instruments. Its gender-centric, self-creation nature ensures ownership, with peer support preventing farmer suicides. As part of the Indian Government’s NRLM policy, it is poised to positively impact over 55 million rural women, doubling crop income, and upskilling local hands to create new markets.

This project sets a high bar for social impact design and will have a profound, tangible impact on millions of people around the world who lack access to vision treatment. The unique and durable design of the glasses within the OOxii Kit offers high quality solutions to vision-impaired people from all walks of life. Through multiple pilot projects, the design team has identified and addressed user needs, leading to a well-resolved final product. From adjustability for astigmatism to strong hinges, these glasses are significantly more functional than competing frames. Overall, this project has used inspiring design evolution processes to create an impactful and affordable pair of glasses.

CHALLENGE

The glasses frames need to be affordable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. They need to be adjustable to suit all face sizes, from children to adults. The frames need to be designed so that pre-cut round optical lenses can be inserted to make customised glasses on the spot in remote and disadvantaged communities worldwide. These frames are part of the 4eyesVision Kit, which also contains a simple, innovative vision testing device to measure what lenses are required and a mobile application with training, instructions and inventory management. SOLUTION

The glasses frames are made of stainless steel and are durable light and stylish. They are designed so that the right and left lenses are the same, the size can be adjusted with a simple crimping tool to fit any size from small child to large man. The steel is formulated to have just the right spring so that the lenses can be inserted easily, and the frames are durable. The nose pads can also be adjusted to fit various facial types from different countries. The arms are also adjustable. IMPACT

The design is durable, adjustable and stylish. It proves that simple, inexpensive solutions can still be beautiful. People in low-resource communities still want to look good and they should be afforded that dignity through clever design. These frames can be used for years and the lenses replaced. Two main causes of glasses failing are that the lenses become too scratched, or the hinges break. Our hinges have no screws and are very durable. Most glasses frames are plastic and last about 2 years. Ours last at least twice that long and at the end of life they can be recycled.
