Running alongside FRONT.design on 29-30 August, the two-day Forum is divided into morning and afternoon sessions tackling topics of the moment within sectors of workplace, healthcare and aged care, hospitality, and city planning and development.
Where FRONT’s program of CPD presentations is geared toward technical, practical knowledge essential to architectural and design practice, the FRONT Forum is devoted to big ideas and thought leadership.
Here are some of our top picks:
Co-creating city and country: Indigenous consultation in development and design
As Australian cities develop in leaps and bounds, we look to Indigenous Australian culture to co-create a new modern identity. To what degree is Indigenous cultural consultation part of design and development? What is the best-case scenario for an inclusive process?
Panellists include: Kieran Wong from The Fulcrum Agency (moderator), David Kaunitz from Kaunitz Yeung Architecture, Jodie Taylor from International Towers, Lucy Simpson from Gaawaa Miyay and Sarah Lynn Rees from JCB.
