Today is #WorldArchitectureDay, and the KAI family is ecstatic to celebrate this year’s theme, “Empowering the Next Generation in Participatory Urban Design.” It’s the perfect opportunity to highlight the role of young architects in urban planning and development! At KAI, our numerous young architects and designers are essential to our success, and their fresh and thoughtful perspectives strengthen our creative process. Their passion for fostering the participatory client engagement and design processes is an asset to every project! Our architects and designers can’t wait to dive into discussions about this year’s big topics: energy efficiency, waste management, sustainable materials, and sustainable mobility. These are more than just buzzwords—they are core to how we design, what we believe in and our philosophy of #TransformingCommunities, making sure every project meets the needs of everyone involved, today and for the future. Let’s build a better tomorrow, together! Learn more about how you can celebrate this year’s theme at the link below! https://lnkd.in/eQk_Qh5a UIA - International Union of Architects #WAD2024 #AEC #Architecture #SustainableDesign

The 2024 DuluxGroup Study Tour now concluded, Mike Sneyd offers some reflections while “the mind buzzes with the whirlwind journey”: “it has been a full sensory and mental overload, going from situations where my world involved only seeing maximum of 10 people in any one average day (of face-to-face interactions), then to cities of millions of people where you pass thousands at most busy street crossings; Combined with seeing projects whose budgets are greater than the half of our regional gross product (GDP). This all sounds like I’m portraying a period of chaos, the opposite is true. I can now take a moment to reflect on the learning opportunities and apply it to our unique contexts.” Read Mike’s blog post here: https://aus.archi/sn37 Follow the tour members: – Jamileh Jahangiri from Studio Orsi – Mike Sneyd from EKD Architects – Simona Falvo from Trower Falvo Architects – Flynn Carr from Susan Dugdale & Associates – Emma Chrisp from Hayball The Australian Institute of Architects Dulux Study Tour is a collaborative initiative between Dulux, the Australian Institute of Architects and EmAGN (the Emerging Architects and Graduate Network). The prize has been running since 2008 and has since then explored a wide range of destinations around the world. #Architect #ArchitectureDetails #Architectural #Architects #Architecture #Design #ArchitectureandDesign #ContemporaryArchitecture #AustralianArchitects #ArchitectureDesign #DuluxAustralia #DuluxStudyTour #2024duluxstudytour

The power of design to shape a better tomorrow. In the latest edition of our ‘Designing a Better Tomorrow’ series, Creative Strategist Rachel Edmonds explores how to overcome sustainability fatigue by focusing on the incredible power of design. She discusses three actionable design principles starting with, 'Make it Flex'. This principle advocates for creating environments that are adaptable to our continually evolving needs and expectations. Highlighting the work of Haptic Architects & Ramboll, we see how it’s possible to challenge the conventional notion of buildings as static structures, enabling long-term relevance amidst ever-evolving societies. "By strategically designing a system with flexibility as a core design principle, we can promote longevity and resource efficiency in a rapidly changing world."
