National Speaker at Extra/Ordinary: Australian Institute of Architects National Conference 22nd - 24th April in Sydney
There is an increasing demand for architects to adjust to new modes of operating: enforcing or stimulating collaborations with others, and demanding real action at the very tangible face of societal change. A bewildering acceleration in the sophistication of information systems and manufacturing processes has evolved specialisations - of processes, products and services - that threatens to marginalise the profession of architecture. But architects are rising to these challenges, rejecting the detached gaze, rolling their sleeves up and fighting back. This is operational across a range of agendas, from the social and political, to manufacturing and making, to procurement and finance, to urbanism.
