Global food systems are in crisis, with rising obesity, undernutrition, and greenhouse gas emissions linked to food production. The EAT-Lancet Commission’s 2019 report set scientific targets for healthy, sustainable diets. Inspired by these findings, Electrolux Group’s GRO kitchen concept combines modular solutions, sensors, and behavioural science to promote sustainable, plant-forward eating at home.

In 2024, Bondor Metecno was the proud sponsor of the Adaptive Reuse (Alteration/Addition) category. This category recognises the adaptive reuse of a building (heritage and/or new) that has minimal impact on the historical significance of the building and its setting, while also pursuing a design that is sympathetic to the building in order to give it a new purpose.
In 2024, Cosentino was the proud sponsor of the Green Building Material category. This category includes a building product that is renewable, environmentally responsible and where the impact is considered over the entire lifetime of the product. By prioritising sustainability in design, we pave the way for a more ecologically balanced and resilient future.
In 2024, WoodSolutions proudly sponsored the Education & Research category, recognising exceptional projects within educational facilities. This includes child care centers, preschools, primary and secondary schools, tertiary institutions, and collaborative spaces where educational institutions partner with others.
In 2024, Nero Tapware was the proud sponsor of the Hospitality & Tourism category.

Smoke control systems play a crucial role in fire safety, managing smoke flow to support safe evacuation and minimise property damage. Operable facades—such as windows, glass louvres, and operable glass roofs—are essential in facilitating smoke exhaust and maintaining safe conditions within a building during emergencies. This white paper examines the integration of operable facade systems in smoke control, focusing on compliance, critical components, and recent technological advancements.
The evolving tapware industry is becoming a critical player in the push toward sustainability. By integrating innovative tapware into designs, architects and specifiers contribute to healthier, resource-efficient buildings that meet the demands of modern sustainable construction. Billi’s Multifunction Mixer Tap offers safety, space-saving, sanitation, and cooking control seamlessly.
Beyond acknowledging the built environment’s contribution to the climate crisis, architects need to also become part of the solution. Beginning by identifying the potential environmental effects of pipes and tapware, this whitepaper goes on to explain the methods employed to measure these impacts, and to outline the best ways for specifiers to identify products that are genuinely sustainable.
A key challenge in modern workplace design is achieving a balance between natural light, transparency, and acoustic comfort. However, these elements often come into conflict with the need for acoustic control, as open spaces and increased light transmission can lead to issues such as noise pollution, reducing productivity and comfort.
In today’s evolving urban landscapes, adapting existing spaces for new purposes is essential for creating environments that support diverse needs. However, one major challenge persists: essential amenities like kitchens and bathrooms are often restricted by traditional plumbing systems.
Voids in concrete walls are a common challenge in the construction industry, presenting serious risks to a building's structural integrity. If not addressed, these air pockets can result in various complications, including reduced load-bearing capacity and potential structural failure, making it crucial to understand the factors that contribute to their formation to tackle the issue effectively.
