For the much anticipated panel on workplace design, Sue Fenton (Woods Bagot), Kellie Payne (Bates Smart) and Tom Herron (HASSELL) will provide insights from some of the world’s leading practices, while Nick Todd (Era-co) will bring a real estate and workplace experience perspective honed through his time at Atlassian and Macquarie, and Colin Seah (Ministry of Design Singapore) will shake things up with a look at how workplaces are being elevated through an intersection with different building typologies (see more at Ministry of Design’s INDE.Award winning project Citi Wealth Hub).
HDR has designed WSU s new 26,500 sqm Bankstown City Campus as part of a $340M investment that cements Western Sydney’s transformation into a thriving academic, innovation and research precinct.
“Designing high-performance, resilient and scalable infrastructure at speed is no easy feat,” said Sam Faigen, project leader at HDR. “Utilising a data-driven design methodology, we have succeeded in delivering two purpose-built facilities, using modular and adaptable solutions that will accelerate industry growth.”
In this comment piece, Graeme Spencer, national director of science and education at HDR, discusses the state of scientific and technological innovation across the design industry.
