Melbourne Connect Presents: Sustainable Design in the Built Environment

MELBOURNE CONNECT BREAKFAST SERIES SEPT 2019
 
Melbourne Connect Presents 'Sustainable Design in the Built Environment'
 
Does architecture and the built environment really matter when it comes to how well we work with each other?
 
The panel exploreD the positive impact that progressive forms of architectural design for innovative physical environments can have on the workforce. Sustainable design, emerging technologies and human-centred design all introduce unique opportunities to enhance the experience of spaces we spend a third of our lives in.
 
How does innovative practice in the built environment enhance our future of work? Does it contribute to health and wellbeing, and by how much? How exactly does sustainable design impact us? Do we relate differently to others in purpose-built environments, and what role does technology play? These questions were answered using Melbourne Connect as a live example of best-practice in designing collaborative, productive, and engaging environments.
 
PANEL:
  • Hazel Porter, Principal Architect, Woods Bagot
  • Tim Hunt, Melbourne Leader of Lighting, Arup
  • Niels Wouters, Head of Research and Emerging Practice, Science Gallery Melbourne; and Research Fellow at Interactive Design Lab, The University of Melbourne
