This session brings together critical insights across design, engineering and user experience to examine how building performance, occupant needs and long-term outcomes intersect in practice. It explores the often-overlooked impact […]
This session explores how stair pressurisation systems—while often treated as purely technical—have a direct influence on architectural planning, spatial efficiency, and occupant life safety.
The Australian Apartment Advocacy (AAA) conducts research every two years to ascertain owners views about their apartments and what they love, would change and also buy next.
This session introduces architects to sensory design through a psychological and neuroscientific lens.

The session equips participants with a nascent theoretical, yet practical conceptual framework for design.
Project Circle outlines a new framework for design and construction, foregrounding material choices as the key question for the coming years.
A practical finance primer for architects: learn how practices set charge rates, forecast revenue, monitor utilisation and margin, manage forecast‑to‑complete, and strengthen invoicing/payment terms — so projects (and careers) can grow sustainably.
