Resilience. Designing for bushfires | Architecture & Design

In this series of articles I’m arguing it’s time to rethink our entire approach to climate design: the war is lost, and we are not design-ready for the resilience now demanded. Over the next few weeks, I want to tackle some new approaches to the increasingly menacing threats from climate change. Today: bushfires, which is apposite as it is an issue at next week’s Sustainability Summit.

Decorative detailing in resimercial design | Architecture & Design

Resimercial design is an approach to commercial interior design that draws on the comfort, warmth, and material language of residential spaces, while meeting commercial performance requirements. Elements such as decorative timber mouldings, wainscoting, and wall panelling are not decorative afterthoughts. They introduce depth, define spatial boundaries, and contribute to the overall perception of quality.

Alseal AS-4001 MS: Engineered to overcome legacy sealant failures | Architecture & Design

When it comes to high-rise construction, expansion joints and window perimeters face extreme joint movement, intense UV exposure, and harsh weather elements. Traditional sealants like standard polyurethanes or silicones often fall short – leading to shrinkage, bubbling, or unsightly dirt-streaking. That is why Alseal AS-4001 MS construction sealant is becoming the premier choice for modern job sites.
