• Biophilic Design & The Use Of Timber

  06-05-2026 09:15 via indesignlive.com
  Biophilic Design – the practice of taking cues from the natural world and allowing them to not just guide the design process but to help foster relationships between it, the built environment and people[i] – is a relatively new, yet increasingly influential notion.Distinct from, yet closely related to sustainability, it has become a source of hope for those in the architectural profession seeking solutions to the ever-growing (and ever-more urgent) list of environmental problems

• Aluminium Finishing Innovations – Improving Performance & Prioritising Sustainability

  06-05-2026 08:49 via indesignlive.com
  Thanks to its strength, its light weight, and the fact that it is infinitely recyclable, architectural aluminium is a growing and vital part of our built environment. For decorative and protective reasons, most products of this type are finished in some way, with finishes sometimes described as ‘100% of the visibility, but less than 1% of costs’.Given its significant effect on the lifecycle and maintenance requirements, decisions regarding finish are extremely important. That said, t

• Think Circular – Circularity Principles for Furniture & Fitout

  06-05-2026 08:45 via indesignlive.com
  Unlike the traditional economic model in which products are manufactured, sold, and eventually disposed of – all in a relatively linear fashion – circularity is about re-use, recycling, and refurbishment. It is about disposing of materials only when they can longer be used in any other practical way, and in so doing, minimising negative environmental impacts.Simple enough in theory, achieving circularity – and therefore genuine sustainability – is another matter altogethe

• Email Management as a Key Strategic Priority – Risk reduction, Communication & Compliance

  06-05-2026 08:37 via indesignlive.com
  Email is critically important to project-based businesses like architectural and design practices. A primary means of communications, it is used for everything from client briefs and consultant coordination to contractor instructions and more.Considering the increasing complexity of these types of information and mounting compliance expectations, poorly managed email represents a genuine (and serious) risk. Beyond inconvenience and project inefficiency, its effects can extend to legal exposure.W

• Navigating Weatherproofing Certifications & Standards for Cladding & Façades

  06-05-2026 08:28 via indesignlive.com
  There are several factors to keep in mind when specifying external cladding and façade systems. Beyond design considerations, the materials chosen should be durable and easy to maintain. They should be sound in terms of thermal performance, environmentally sustainable, acoustics and fire safety.And they should be waterproof.

Beyond their function – as frameworks with which to suspend panels or tiles and conceal wiring, pipes and so on, in commercial applications – they should be visually appealing.On top of this, ceiling grid systems should perform well in terms of acoustics, fire safety, moisture resistance, durability, and maintenance requirements. And they should be structurally sound and comply with seismic
