Issue 23 – April 2016
In 2016 the Faculty is set to have a new Research Cluster focused on High Performance Architecture. It will join the four existing clusters which continue to be key components of collaboration, productivity and excellence in Built Environment research activity. Following on from their successful Open Data | Open Cities workshop last year, the Smart Cities cluster led by Hoon Han and Scott Hawken is organising an international symposium in early June on Smart Cities and Urban Innovation to be held in conjunction with the Fifth International Media Architecture Biennale, with further book and journal publication plans afoot. The Design Cluster co-convened by Katrina Simon and Ainslie Murray is working towards a major exhibition on the theme of ‘Make Known’ and meanwhile is set to launch BERG (Built Environment Roving Gallery) to showcase design around the Red Centre. Members are also involved with Architecture by Hand and Mind, a book to be published by New South Publishing. The People and Place Cluster led by Kate Bishop and Susan Thompson is planning for more industry and HDR events with members also collaborating on several book projects on design and public space. One of these, Place and Placelessness Revisited to be published by Routledge will bring together papers presented at the Cluster’s annual 2014 Symposium. The Urban Typologies Cluster co-convened by Judith O’Callaghan and Paul Hogben is following up its previous project on Leisure Space: The Transformation of Sydney, 1945-1970 (New South, 2014) with a new book on Martin Place which has attracted generous corporate sponsorship and will be published by Allen and Unwin later in 2016. The new High Performance Architecture Cluster under initial convenor Lan Ding has set itself similarly ambitious targets for conferences, publications and grants over the next three years. It will have productive ties to the CRC for Low Carbon Living. And with over 30 staff and HDR students active in this area, the cluster will be a key agent for organising and enhancing the university’s and faculty’s investment in environmentally-driven architectural science and technology research.

“THE GREAT HOUSES OF CALCUTTA” BOOK The launch of The Great Houses of Calcutta book was held on Wednesday 2 March 2016 at Apeejay Oxford Bookstores in Kolkata, India. The book is a collaboration between Emeritus Professor John Lang and Joanne Taylor (BE alumnus). Eminent Indian author Amit Chaudhuri and Martin Gurvich (Director of Belgium’s Museum of Sacred Art) were the guests of honour at the launch. “The mansions of North Kolkata described in Great Houses of Calcutta were built by the cream of the indigenous elite during the city's colonial era. …this book is a more comprehensive endeavor bringing in Joanne Taylor’s first hand experiences and research in Kolkata and Jon Lang’s knowledge of the broader context of architectural history and the attempts to display contemporary design attitudes in built form, not only in today’s changing world but also during India’s colonial and post-colonial eras…”-Amazon
NEW RESEARCH CLUSTER APPROVED IN HIGH PERFORMANCE ARCHITECTURE At the March BE Research Committee Dr Lan Ding attended and presented a proposal to establish a new research cluster in high performance architecture. This proposal was seen to align with recent faculty and university investment in environmentally-driven architectural science and technology, aiming to lift productivity and excellence in HPA areas. The cluster will focus on design, planning and management of high performance buildings and cities. A draft three-year program of activities was outlined with involvement in conferences (commencing with the SBE16 International High Performance Built Environment Conference in November which has received 346 abstracts from 44 countries), publications, and Category 1 grant applications. The BE Research Committee endorsed the establishment of the cluster, bringing the number of research clusters in the faculty to five. Dr Ding will be the cluster’s inaugural convenor with an initial membership list of 34 staff and students.
CityViz CityViz is City Future’s brand new City Data Visualization capability - https://cityfutures.be.unsw.edu.au/cityviz/. CityViz is focused on creating a number of interactive data products capitalizing on City Future’s unique access to and interpretation of urban big data for Sydney. The initial focus is on assembling data on Sydney’s emerging housing market with three interactive maps online already, depicting housing affordability, strata development and million dollar properties. In the coming months there will be a series of new data products available on city wellbeing, city movement and other newly available datasets.
“URBAN DISASTER RESILIENCE” BOOK Urban Disaster Resilience (published by Routledge this month) draws from the experiences of urban disasters and conflict in over fifteen countries, including Nepal, Haiti, the Philippines, Thailand, Irag and Chile to highlight opportunities for new and improved collaborations and practices with a focus on resilience. Edited by Professor David Sanderson with Jerold S. Kayden, and Julia Leis, the book is a crucial read for humanitarian professionals, government officials, city managers, urban planners and designers, architects, landscape architects and housing and economic development specialists dealing with areas vulnerable to disaster.
NEW ADR UNIT STAFF MEMBER Frances Pranoto, from the BE Finance Team, has joined the ADR unit as our new Research Support Officer. Frances replaces Serap Yilmaz who left us at the beginning of the year to pursue a new opportunity. Frances will be with us until the end of the year helping with HDR administration, professorial research support, the research newsletter, website, event organisation and data collection for ROS.
In the current research environment, securing more external research income is a vital goal for the Faculty. Income from public and private sector sources through both competitive and contract grants represents a critical performance metric which ultimately impacts on the Commonwealth research funding received by UNSW - and in turn the faculty. For several years Jane Marceau has acted as an invaluable in-house critic and mentor for faculty staff who are developing grant applications with a view to enhancing their competitiveness. This applies primarily to ARC grant programs but extends across the board. Any staff member working on a grant application should seek feedback, particularly anyone who has received support through our small grants program. Jane is an Adjunct Professor to the City Futures Research Centre. Her strengths are primarily in the social sciences. She was formerly Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research) and Professor of Management at Western Sydney University. She has also worked at the University of Liverpool, the Australian National University, and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris. Jane’s assistance with research design is complemented on an as-needed basis by Kayleen Campbell who is very experienced in putting together budgets and dealing with compliance issues.

HEALTHY BUILT ENVIRONMENT INDICATORS PUBLISHED! The City Wellbeing Program is proud to announce the publication of its Healthy Built Environment Indicators. The Indicators will help policy makers and practitioners to create and monitor the success of healthy built environments. Informed by the latest relevant research, the Indicators consolidate a
range of measures to understand the health implications of built environments for local communities, and to identify opportunities for improvements. They also advise on where to find data to assess specific built environment characteristics and interventions. The Indicators are an important advocacy tool to lobby for healthy living improvements in built environments. Download your free copy from the City Wellbeing Program website.
CITY ANALYTICS CONTINUES TO GROW Dr Alison Taylor, previously the Chief Demographer from the NSW Department of Planning and Environment, has begun work on our Urban Health Data Connectivity Project. The project, which runs until the end of 2016, will use data from the National Health Services Directory to investigate geographic inequities in health access in NSW. The research will consider any mismatch between services targeting the older population and where that population lives now, and is projected to live in the future. Spatial analysis techniques will be used to assess the location of health facilities in Sydney, in relation to patterns of socio-economic disadvantage and poor health behaviours.
