Talking Architecture & Design

After several years in strategic roles at Taronga Zoo, Macquarie University and the Centre for Sustainability Leadership, Laura is currently the CEO of the Living Future Institute of Australia (LFIA). LFIA harnesses the built environment as a powerful vehicle to create a world that is socially just, culturally rich, and ecologically restorative.

She talks with us about the importance of biophilia, fractals and why the Living Building Challenge is important to the built environment.

Dr Sarah Hill, the CEO of the Western Parkland City Authority, talks about delivering her vision for ‘a metropolis of three cities’’, a vision she co-created as the inaugural CEO of the Greater Sydney Commission, to fundamentally change the way we think and plan for Greater Sydney.

Joel talks about the major shift in how people use offices or in other words, hotelisation of office design, where the products being used are often driven by softer and warmer colours and products and these spaces are being designed to deliver a better environment for community to develop.
