They can be found everywhere from hospitality venues and hotel lobbies to apartment developments and aged care environments.It should be noted, however, that integrating a fireplace into commercial architecture can present a number of technical challenges, particularly in terms of ventilation, fire safety, spatial constraints and regulatory compliance.This CPD present

• Designing Multi‑Residential Projects that Deliver – Performance, Acoustics & Smarter Project Outcomes

  07-07-2026 11:29 via indesignlive.com
  
  Thanks to various factors – including population growth, the ongoing housing crisis, and environmental concerns associated with urban sprawl – Australia’s urban landscapes are changing. The country that was once best-known for its ubiquitous quarter-acre suburban blocks is now seeing more and more medium and high-density residential developments.As we move to higher density living, it is important that the quality of housing delivered remains high.

• Balcony Drainage Systems in Multi Residential Design – Challenges, Solutions and the Impact of NCC 2025

  07-07-2026 08:24 via indesignlive.com
  
  Balconies are a popular feature in multi-residential buildings, offering occupants an appealing blend of indoor and outdoor living. However, these spaces present specific challenges in terms of drainage. Without effective water management systems, they are susceptible to water accumulation, which in turn, can lead to structural issues and building degradation.As multi-residential developments continue to expand across Australia, the complexity of balcony designs has grown. This has resulted in a

• ‘Going All In’ to Meet the Climate Crisis

  07-07-2026 08:16 via indesignlive.com
  
  Though the exact figure varies slightly depending on methodology and source, it is generally accepted that the built environment is responsible for around 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. A sobering statistic for all involved, it nevertheless leaves architects, builders, and others with some important question – along the lines of ‘how can we make a difference?’ – to answer.The difficulty here is that, beyond the above-mentioned statistic, lies a lot of d

  Secure facilities designed specifically to house IT infrastructure (including servers, data storage drives, and networking equipment), data centres are becoming familiar sights across our urban landscapes.In fact, thanks largely to the AI boom, it is estimated that by 2030 USD1.85 trillion will be spent on the construction of data centres globally. Meanwhile, over the same time period, USD67.5 billion is expected to be spent on these increasingly ubiquitous structures.Given the critical nature o

• Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

  07-07-2026 04:17 via indesignlive.com
  
  When Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick first designed the Aeron Chair in 1994, the pioneering seat that heralded a new era of ergonomics and material innovation was briefly accompanied by a palette of jewel-like tones.Shades like Amethyst and Sapphire reflected the metallic sensibility of the era; however, at the time, they could only be applied to the exposed flexible surface of the revolutionary Pellicle suspension – rather than to the whole form of the chair. This created a noticeable contra

• Venice Biennale 2026: Evocations of resilience and hope

  06-07-2026 05:58 via indesignlive.com
  
  This year’s Venice Biennale has unfolded against a backdrop of geopolitical turmoil and personal tragedy. The first major crisis came with the sudden death of its artistic director Koyo Kouoh, the Swiss-Cameroonian curator who was to become the first African woman to lead the event. Since then, the jury has resigned, the traditional awards have been replaced by a people’s choice prize, and public protests disrupted the opening week.Nevertheless, the 2026 Biennale ultimately fulfils K

  Arriving in Copenhagen during 3daysofdesign, I was reminded of something I first felt more than a decade ago on my initial visit to the city: Copenhagen does not wait for a design festival to become a design destination.Unlike many cities that transform themselves for a festival, Copenhagen already feels like a year-round exhibition of design, architecture, craft and making. 3d
