DesignForce is leading a great webinar on Navigating DEI in today's times! To my industry folks, this will be a good one to listen in on.

How can design professionals address population change? 🌏 Changing patterns of births, deaths and migration are reshaping communities - and the built environment. For the next instalment in our Horizons 2034 series, we've asked experts to scan the horizon and consider how architects can respond to the increasing need for adaptable, resilient buildings and places that foster a sense of belonging: https://ow.ly/CaZa50SaKYg RIBA Horizons 2034 is sponsored by Autodesk

Topographic surveys play a pivotal role in urban planning, providing critical data on land elevations, structures, and natural features. This information is essential for designing sustainable, efficient, and resilient urban spaces. Dive into our latest blog post to understand why these surveys are indispensable for modern city planning.

Co-design, human-centered design. Isn't it all just different words for the same thing? Shifting from human-centered design to co-design was more than just changing our terminology. Human-centered design encourages us to place people's perspectives at the center. We might channel those perspectives at particular points through focus groups or journey maps. But co-design invites the people most affected to play an active role throughout the design process. From the start, it changes the status quo power structure typically held by a designer or a decision-maker. Co-design challenges us to examine the power dynamics and systems of harm that got us to — and continue to perpetuate — these problems. It means ditching neutrality as the assumed starting point for a design challenge. Co-design is about learning from history before we dream up the future. If we can grapple with these things, we're not just producing a short-term solution; we're changing how we think and act along the way. #codesign #humancentereddesign #socialinnovation

✨ I found this post interesting as an architect and interior designer. In architecture and interior design education and practice, we typically learn that humans are at the centre of design process. However, since starting my PhD I have found another method of human engagement: Co-design! Collaborative design means designing WITH people instead of designing FOR people. This approach transforms stakeholders from passive to the active project participants. Through co-design, we intentionally share power, enabling participants to directly engage in thinking, planning and action. As architects, we can go beyond our role as designer and also facilitate this participation. #codesign #humancentereddesign

A great article on the world's tallest #masstimber hybrid, which continues to rise down under, with an invested mission in #sustainability and #dfma. Early engagement of design professionals and key trade contractors is one of the trademarks that ensures the success of the design-build building procurement system. Ric Wang, who came to Atlassian from Stockland, said that in his experience, climate engineers usually played a minor role in building design, overshadowed by architects and structural engineers. “But we had our climate engineer at the table driving those key aspirations for sustainability from day one.”  Investing in detailed design pays dividends on site, as was proven nearly 100 years ago with the 102-storey Empire State Building that was delivered in 14 months. This principle is being employed on Atlassian's HQ. According to James Barta from Built., the final approved design had not changed from the initial 3D render he saw in 2019. “It’s not been about changing the design, but being able to solve all of the problems. So within that two and a half years, we did 160 different cost plans, 55 embodied-carbon assessments, and 50 different design submissions.” With all the digital engineering and 3D modelling already done, as soon as the contracts were signed in August 2022, they were able to order the steel members and Austrian spruce timber to lock in prices as inflation soared.
