A new series of emerging architects discussing their regional practice
Design Intelligence is conceived as a recurring Victorian Chapter forum focused on design thinking rather than finished work. The series positions architecture as an evolving intellectual practice - tested through built work, challenged through works in progress, and sharpened through debate. Our third event is jointly presented through the AIA and Urban Design Forum Australia. […]
The built environment is increasingly shifting from a focus on “less harm” toward regenerative design - where buildings actively contribute to the health of people, ecosystems, and material cycles. This is the first in a three-part Lean In series exploring regenerative materials and the role of specification, research, and design decision-making in enabling this shift […]
Join the Australian Institute of Architects SA Chapter's Regen Design Committee for an interactive workshop exploring how regenerative design principles can be applied to residential architecture. This workshop is worth […]
