Kundoo’s installation Light Matters is an investigation into the architect’s building strategy for affordable and sustainable shelter design. “Light Matters represents architecture principally through the spatial experience rather than through models, photographs or other visual media,” explains Kundoo. “I think that the perception of architecture has become disconnected from the experience of the whole, and is becoming increasingly about how buildings look from the outside. In order to understand architecture I think it is necessary to inhabit space with one’s body in true scale. Having once established this relation, it is possible to truly understand the synthesis of varied and complex aspects that architecture brings about.” Kundoo’s ‘Light Matters’ presents her approach to achieving the idea of a ‘shelter for all’ in the context of the social segregation and growing disparity in the world. “‘Light’ suggests light weight approaches, ‘light’ impact on the environment and ease of fabrication. ‘Light’ also represents ‘knowledge’ and ‘consciousness’,” explains Kundoo. “At times of extreme concern about natural resources, knowledge-based sophisticated engineering can significantly optimise the amount of material consumed while engaging relatively unskilled labour to enable that shelter can be afforded to all – economically and environmentally.” Kundoo’s installation is a light weight ferro-cement shelter prototype developed by the introduction of folds and bends that give the material rigidity, making it a viable and affordable alternative to roof construction. “Inspired by crease patterns developed in origami, the prototype shelter integrates geometry, engineering and material properties in the development of appropriate forms,” adds Kundoo. “The ideas also extend beyond architecture into furniture design and furnishings, as seen in the installation.” Kundoo’s work is the result of testing and experimentation at grass roots level. “The idea of ‘Light Matters’ was tested through building two full-scale roof prototypes in India to confirm the basic premises of the design approach,” explains Kundoo. “While the exhibition will travel through Australia, two further prototypes will be built, one in Australia and another in India, to further refine the structural design details for efficiency.” One of Kundoo’s shelters will be completed as a set of two roofing units with a courtyard for use as a family residence. “The complete structure will determine the extent to which this design is cost competitive, as well as summarise the comparative environmental impact as compared with conventional construction,” continues Kundoo. “The two prototypes will determine the relevance of this design in both contexts: the developed countries and the developing countries, due to their different realities concerning material and labour/machines in the construction process. Thereafter the idea is that this approach could be brought into the mainstream to address the need for quick shelter in a variety of social, economic and environmental contexts.” An interview with Anupama Kundoo, produced by Patrick Abboud, courtesy of Object Gallery. ‘Light Matters will be on display from’ 6 July – 1 September 2013 at Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre CUSP cusp-design.com abc Happenings What's On Makette Exhibition by Editorial Team 29 July A new exhibition, Makette, has opened at the Design Institute of Australia Gallery in Melbourne, which showcases these side projects by eight designers. Curated by Karen Fermo and Martin Musiatowicz of Kart Projects, the exhibition offers a fascinating insight into designers using their creativity in extra-professional outlets. “There was some really interesting work, which people were doing as an extension of their creative practice,” Karen explains, “We looked at Makette as a way of investigating that further, specifically, people who were looking at different mediums or techniques as a respite more than anything intentional.” Far from the well trodden path of architects designing furniture, Makette covers a range of design professions including graphic designers, textile and set designers and their various hand-made side projects from motorcycle fanzines hand-made and printed by graphic design Stuart Geddes to architect Bruce Rowe’s exquisite ceramics. ‘Makette’ is the German spelling of maquette, which refers to architects making scale models as method of design investigation. What all the designers have in common with their side projects is the playful, investigative projects that explore the process of making. “It’s that constant need to challenge, question things to stay creative and continue to develop your thinking and work,” says Karen. “So doing side projects is a way of extending that creative process.” Makette is on show until 31 July at DIA Gallery, Melbourne. Makettemakette-exhibition.com Kart Projectskartprojects.co abc SPONSORED Finishes Design Products Design Accessories Dekton by Cosentino by Editorial Team 29 July Developed exclusively by the Cosentino R&D department, Dekton by Cosentino is an ultra-compact surface with infinite design possibilities, perfect for a multitude of uses, including flooring, stairs and walls, ventilated facades, countertops and work surfaces, providing the flexibility for both commercial and private use. Initially available in a range of nature-reflective colours and finishes and in large format, Dekton allows surfaces and spaces to be designed without any limits or interruptions, where colour and texture flow freely. Dekton will be available in Australia from Q4, 2013 Dektondekton.com abc Architecture Around The World NOT HOMES On the Banks of the Ganga by Editorial Team 29 July Distinguished by its use of stone, reed and steel wire, the Atali resort, by New Dehli-based RLDA Studio, completely abandons any idea of a commonplace resort aesthetic. With a design that celebrates the means, methods and modes of its construction, Atali presents us with an honest and unique approach to ‘organic’ and symbiotic architecture. The resort planning itself is simple: a singular stone building that houses a storage facility on the lower level, and a dormitory on the upper. A veranda with a tensile roof, which frames magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, also acts as a café and cottage for guests. In fact, the façade can be rather austere in places, a certain kind of Spartan jungle bungalow. But the real beauty of this building is not found in its visual appearance but in its engagement with its site and place. Constructed predominately out of materials that were either found on site or generated during the excavation and site works, Atali has reinterpreted traditional construction technologies historically used to secure and preserve the ancient river embankments. In recognition of this symbiotic relationship between the river and the building’s galvanized gabion boxes, traditionally used to secure the riverbanks in the area, RLDA vertically tied adjacent boxes with un-galvanized steel wire to construct a building that is essentially complete on every level. “The point of arrival is not a building or a structure,” says lead architect Rahoul Singh, “rather, it is a place of ‘nothingness’ – a space that promises through its adjacent structures a point of destination and discovery.” Through verandas and windows that frame the natural landscape beyond, the eye is continually forced to travel outwards, away from the building and into its vast and beautiful surrounds. Enhanced by the potent and saturated shade of the roof’s ‘orange’ colour, which acts to compress the space, this structure acts as both a transitory space and as a space of refuge for the resort’s guests.

According to Paul Reeves, General Manager Sales & Marketing, Beko Australia, Australians love for cooking is seeing many of us choose larger “authentic” style cookware –woks for Asian meals, large paella pans and French enamel casseroles – items often too large to fit on a single cooktop burner. “I think Australians are looking for flexibility of use in all types of appliances – so they can choose the best way to use products to suit their needs and their lifestyle. Our new Indyflex™ cooktop really provides stylish good looks, energy efficiency and the ability to cook with precision, delivering the best possible results,” he said. Best of all, the induction technology of the Beko Indyflex™ cooktop means the zones only heat up the area directly underneath the saucepan, reducing energy consumption, even when using larger pots and pans. While Beko’s induction cooktops heat up rapidly, they also offer 19 different heat levels with simple ‘Touch & Slide’ controls, allowing incredible accuracy in temperature from the gentlest simmering through to high heat for fast frying. Other features include an on-off indicator light and a timer to set cooking times for each cooking zone separately. While a booster function is also great for quick heating. Beko has also announced a an exclusive line of kitchen appliances designed by world famous architect and designer Patricia Urquiola. The result is 'Beko Cast - a stylish collection of cooktops and ovens that bring together pure functionality and technical performance with superb design. Urquiola states, "My particular design philosophy for Beko is very simple: a coherent design that fulfils the most diverse standards, that is not pretentious, not difficult to use and is suitable for everyday use but also works just as well in an elegant setting". Bekobeko.com.au abc Happenings What's On Ant Heap or Home? by Editorial Team 29 July Is multi-residential living the way of the future? What is a quality multi-residential development? And how is it achieved? What are the constraints? Who lives in them? And what do 21st Century examples such as Central Park and Parramatta suggest about the future of the home? For the first discussion in Habitus' seminar series at Sydney Indesign, we have gathered a diverse panel of speakers to explore the issues associated to contemporary and future multi-residential living. Speakers: Vy Nguyen - Senior Development Manager at UrbanGrowth NSW (formally Landcom) Vy has a wealth of experience in planning and an active role within the UDIA. A town planner by background, Vy has nearly 10 years of experience in both Local and State Government roles. She specialises in the delivery of residential projects throughout all stages of development from feasibility assessments, design, approvals, construction, marketing and sales. Her depth of experience extends to having a lead role in defining, as well as managing projects. Vy is passionate about creating places where the community has a soul. She believes the discussion about multi-residential living is a unique opportunity to talk about the importance of providing people with lifestyle choices and increasing affordability. Tony Owen - Director at Tony Owen Partners Tony Owen has been a Design Director and senior designer in a number of leading Sydney firms such as SJB Architects, PTW and Phillip Cox Architects. Tony has designed a number of Sydney’s prominent buildings. These include The Sydney Superdome, Darling Island Apartments, Medina Central Apartments and Bondi Beachside Apartments, as well as public buildings such as the Eureka Stockade Museum and Strathfield Open Learning College as well as a number of projects in China, Dubai and South East Asia. Tony states, "We are increasingly dealing with a new and unprecedented set of realities and responding to a new set of imperatives. These include increasing population and densities, limited resources and space, changing climate and the new realities of the global information and financial network. At the same time, technology is delivering new digital tools and capabilities which are impacting on the means with which architecture is realised. This includes new software, new thinking about network strategies and new means of fabrication. As a result of these tools, we are exploring an architecture which is more responsive to the environment." Tom Ferguson - Director of Tom Ferguson Architecture and Design (TFAD). By virtue of the fact that many of Tom's projects to date have been inner-city houses on small sites, they have often had a very strong interior design component as this is the most significant, visible and important part of the dwelling. The practice aims to create personalised spaces and understands that each new client has needs and desires different to the last. This approach has created a superficially eclectic style to date, however the core principles of rational planning and a broader geometrical interlocking of spaces combined with honest, natural and warm materials runs through each project. Tom states, “Multi-residential buildings are increasingly important, especially in countries like Australia where the reality of accommodating increasing population in denser urban environments has to overcome the traditional expectation of a 'quarter acre block'. It is not just the act of building more dense accommodation however, but also the quality of the accommodation that is important. If we are to popularise denser urban living then the quality and environmental characteristics of the buildings must be high.” TIm Campbell - Development Director at Crown GroupTim Campbell brings with him more than 16 years’ of experience in the construction and development industry and has been responsible for the delivery of numerous commercial and residential projects both in Sydney and London. Tim possesses a superior understanding of property and construction related legal issues, and has an outstanding reputation for local and government authority liaison. Tim states, "Multi-residential strata is the fastest growing residential segment in New South Wales. Estimates show that more than half of all new residences built in NSW over the next decade will be strata titled. Further, that by 2032 more than 3 million people in NSW will live under a strata titles arrangement. This shows that there is and will continue to be a significant shift to multi-residential living which makes it an important discussion topic."

According to Paul Reeves, General Manager Sales & Marketing, Beko Australia, Australians love for cooking is seeing many of us choose larger “authentic” style cookware –woks for Asian meals, large paella pans and French enamel casseroles – items often too large to fit on a single cooktop burner. “I think Australians are looking for flexibility of use in all types of appliances – so they can choose the best way to use products to suit their needs and their lifestyle. Our new Indyflex™ cooktop really provides stylish good looks, energy efficiency and the ability to cook with precision, delivering the best possible results,” he said. Best of all, the induction technology of the Beko Indyflex™ cooktop means the zones only heat up the area directly underneath the saucepan, reducing energy consumption, even when using larger pots and pans. While Beko’s induction cooktops heat up rapidly, they also offer 19 different heat levels with simple ‘Touch & Slide’ controls, allowing incredible accuracy in temperature from the gentlest simmering through to high heat for fast frying.

And how is it achieved? What are the constraints? Who lives in them? And what do 21st Century examples such as Central Park and Parramatta suggest about the future of the home? For the first discussion in Habitus' seminar series at Sydney Indesign, we have gathered a diverse panel of speakers to explore the issues associated to contemporary and future multi-residential living. Speakers: Vy Nguyen - Senior Development Manager at UrbanGrowth NSW (formally Landcom) Vy has a wealth of experience in planning and an active role within the UDIA. A town planner by background, Vy has nearly 10 years of experience in both Local and State Government roles. She specialises in the delivery of residential projects throughout all stages of development from feasibility assessments, design, approvals, construction, marketing and sales. Her depth of experience extends to having a lead role in defining, as well as managing projects. Vy is passionate about creating places where the community has a soul. She believes the discussion about multi-residential living is a unique opportunity to talk about the importance of providing people with lifestyle choices and increasing affordability. Tony Owen - Director at Tony Owen Partners Tony Owen has been a Design Director and senior designer in a number of leading Sydney firms such as SJB Architects, PTW and Phillip Cox Architects. Tony has designed a number of Sydney’s prominent buildings. These include The Sydney Superdome, Darling Island Apartments, Medina Central Apartments and Bondi Beachside Apartments, as well as public buildings such as the Eureka Stockade Museum and Strathfield Open Learning College as well as a number of projects in China, Dubai and South East Asia. Tony states, "We are increasingly dealing with a new and unprecedented set of realities and responding to a new set of imperatives. These include increasing population and densities, limited resources and space, changing climate and the new realities of the global information and financial network. At the same time, technology is delivering new digital tools and capabilities which are impacting on the means with which architecture is realised. This includes new software, new thinking about network strategies and new means of fabrication. As a result of these tools, we are exploring an architecture which is more responsive to the environment." Tom Ferguson - Director of Tom Ferguson Architecture and Design (TFAD). By virtue of the fact that many of Tom's projects to date have been inner-city houses on small sites, they have often had a very strong interior design component as this is the most significant, visible and important part of the dwelling. The practice aims to create personalised spaces and understands that each new client has needs and desires different to the last. This approach has created a superficially eclectic style to date, however the core principles of rational planning and a broader geometrical interlocking of spaces combined with honest, natural and warm materials runs through each project. Tom states, “Multi-residential buildings are increasingly important, especially in countries like Australia where the reality of accommodating increasing population in denser urban environments has to overcome the traditional expectation of a 'quarter acre block'. It is not just the act of building more dense accommodation however, but also the quality of the accommodation that is important. If we are to popularise denser urban living then the quality and environmental characteristics of the buildings must be high.” TIm Campbell - Development Director at Crown GroupTim Campbell brings with him more than 16 years’ of experience in the construction and development industry and has been responsible for the delivery of numerous commercial and residential projects both in Sydney and London. Tim possesses a superior understanding of property and construction related legal issues, and has an outstanding reputation for local and government authority liaison. Tim states, "Multi-residential strata is the fastest growing residential segment in New South Wales. Estimates show that more than half of all new residences built in NSW over the next decade will be strata titled. Further, that by 2032 more than 3 million people in NSW will live under a strata titles arrangement. This shows that there is and will continue to be a significant shift to multi-residential living which makes it an important discussion topic."

Happenings What's On ‘Light Matters’ at CUSP by Editorial Team 30 July The show features investigative work from twelve influential Australian designers including ‘global’ architect Anupama Kundoo of MaterialByProduct. Kundoo’s installation Light Matters is an investigation into the architect’s building strategy for affordable and sustainable shelter design. “Light Matters represents architecture principally through the spatial experience rather than through models, photographs or other visual media,” explains Kundoo. “I think that the perception of architecture has become disconnected from the experience of the whole, and is becoming increasingly about how buildings look from the outside. In order to understand architecture I think it is necessary to inhabit space with one’s body in true scale. Having once established this relation, it is possible to truly understand the synthesis of varied and complex aspects that architecture brings about.” Kundoo’s ‘Light Matters’ presents her approach to achieving the idea of a ‘shelter for all’ in the context of the social segregation and growing disparity in the world. “‘Light’ suggests light weight approaches, ‘light’ impact on the environment and ease of fabrication. ‘Light’ also represents ‘knowledge’ and ‘consciousness’,” explains Kundoo. “At times of extreme concern about natural resources, knowledge-based sophisticated engineering can significantly optimise the amount of material consumed while engaging relatively unskilled labour to enable that shelter can be afforded to all – economically and environmentally.” Kundoo’s installation is a light weight ferro-cement shelter prototype developed by the introduction of folds and bends that give the material rigidity, making it a viable and affordable alternative to roof construction. “Inspired by crease patterns developed in origami, the prototype shelter integrates geometry, engineering and material properties in the development of appropriate forms,” adds Kundoo. “The ideas also extend beyond architecture into furniture design and furnishings, as seen in the installation.” Kundoo’s work is the result of testing and experimentation at grass roots level. “The idea of ‘Light Matters’ was tested through building two full-scale roof prototypes in India to confirm the basic premises of the design approach,” explains Kundoo. “While the exhibition will travel through Australia, two further prototypes will be built, one in Australia and another in India, to further refine the structural design details for efficiency.” One of Kundoo’s shelters will be completed as a set of two roofing units with a courtyard for use as a family residence. “The complete structure will determine the extent to which this design is cost competitive, as well as summarise the comparative environmental impact as compared with conventional construction,” continues Kundoo. “The two prototypes will determine the relevance of this design in both contexts: the developed countries and the developing countries, due to their different realities concerning material and labour/machines in the construction process. Thereafter the idea is that this approach could be brought into the mainstream to address the need for quick shelter in a variety of social, economic and environmental contexts.” An interview with Anupama Kundoo, produced by Patrick Abboud, courtesy of Object Gallery. ‘Light Matters will be on display from’ 6 July – 1 September 2013 at Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre CUSP cusp-design.com abc Happenings What's On Makette Exhibition by Editorial Team 29 July A new exhibition, Makette, has opened at the Design Institute of Australia Gallery in Melbourne, which showcases these side projects by eight designers. Curated by Karen Fermo and Martin Musiatowicz of Kart Projects, the exhibition offers a fascinating insight into designers using their creativity in extra-professional outlets. “There was some really interesting work, which people were doing as an extension of their creative practice,” Karen explains, “We looked at Makette as a way of investigating that further, specifically, people who were looking at different mediums or techniques as a respite more than anything intentional.” Far from the well trodden path of architects designing furniture, Makette covers a range of design professions including graphic designers, textile and set designers and their various hand-made side projects from motorcycle fanzines hand-made and printed by graphic design Stuart Geddes to architect Bruce Rowe’s exquisite ceramics. ‘Makette’ is the German spelling of maquette, which refers to architects making scale models as method of design investigation. What all the designers have in common with their side projects is the playful, investigative projects that explore the process of making. “It’s that constant need to challenge, question things to stay creative and continue to develop your thinking and work,” says Karen. “So doing side projects is a way of extending that creative process.” Makette is on show until 31 July at DIA Gallery, Melbourne.

Initially available in a range of nature-reflective colours and finishes and in large format, Dekton allows surfaces and spaces to be designed without any limits or interruptions, where colour and texture flow freely. Dekton will be available in Australia from Q4, 2013 Dektondekton.com abc Architecture Around The World NOT HOMES On the Banks of the Ganga by Editorial Team 29 July Distinguished by its use of stone, reed and steel wire, the Atali resort, by New Dehli-based RLDA Studio, completely abandons any idea of a commonplace resort aesthetic. With a design that celebrates the means, methods and modes of its construction, Atali presents us with an honest and unique approach to ‘organic’ and symbiotic architecture. The resort planning itself is simple: a singular stone building that houses a storage facility on the lower level, and a dormitory on the upper. A veranda with a tensile roof, which frames magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, also acts as a café and cottage for guests. In fact, the façade can be rather austere in places, a certain kind of Spartan jungle bungalow. But the real beauty of this building is not found in its visual appearance but in its engagement with its site and place. Constructed predominately out of materials that were either found on site or generated during the excavation and site works, Atali has reinterpreted traditional construction technologies historically used to secure and preserve the ancient river embankments. In recognition of this symbiotic relationship between the river and the building’s galvanized gabion boxes, traditionally used to secure the riverbanks in the area, RLDA vertically tied adjacent boxes with un-galvanized steel wire to construct a building that is essentially complete on every level. “The point of arrival is not a building or a structure,” says lead architect Rahoul Singh, “rather, it is a place of ‘nothingness’ – a space that promises through its adjacent structures a point of destination and discovery.” Through verandas and windows that frame the natural landscape beyond, the eye is continually forced to travel outwards, away from the building and into its vast and beautiful surrounds. Enhanced by the potent and saturated shade of the roof’s ‘orange’ colour, which acts to compress the space, this structure acts as both a transitory space and as a space of refuge for the resort’s guests.

Bekobeko.com.au abc Happenings What's On Ant Heap or Home? by Editorial Team 29 July Is multi-residential living the way of the future? What is a quality multi-residential development? And how is it achieved? What are the constraints? Who lives in them? And what do 21st Century examples such as Central Park and Parramatta suggest about the future of the home? For the first discussion in Habitus' seminar series at Sydney Indesign, we have gathered a diverse panel of speakers to explore the issues associated to contemporary and future multi-residential living. Speakers: Vy Nguyen - Senior Development Manager at UrbanGrowth NSW (formally Landcom) Vy has a wealth of experience in planning and an active role within the UDIA. A town planner by background, Vy has nearly 10 years of experience in both Local and State Government roles. She specialises in the delivery of residential projects throughout all stages of development from feasibility assessments, design, approvals, construction, marketing and sales. Her depth of experience extends to having a lead role in defining, as well as managing projects. Vy is passionate about creating places where the community has a soul. She believes the discussion about multi-residential living is a unique opportunity to talk about the importance of providing people with lifestyle choices and increasing affordability. Tony Owen - Director at Tony Owen Partners Tony Owen has been a Design Director and senior designer in a number of leading Sydney firms such as SJB Architects, PTW and Phillip Cox Architects. Tony has designed a number of Sydney’s prominent buildings. These include The Sydney Superdome, Darling Island Apartments, Medina Central Apartments and Bondi Beachside Apartments, as well as public buildings such as the Eureka Stockade Museum and Strathfield Open Learning College as well as a number of projects in China, Dubai and South East Asia. Tony states, "We are increasingly dealing with a new and unprecedented set of realities and responding to a new set of imperatives. These include increasing population and densities, limited resources and space, changing climate and the new realities of the global information and financial network. At the same time, technology is delivering new digital tools and capabilities which are impacting on the means with which architecture is realised. This includes new software, new thinking about network strategies and new means of fabrication. As a result of these tools, we are exploring an architecture which is more responsive to the environment." Tom Ferguson - Director of Tom Ferguson Architecture and Design (TFAD). By virtue of the fact that many of Tom's projects to date have been inner-city houses on small sites, they have often had a very strong interior design component as this is the most significant, visible and important part of the dwelling. The practice aims to create personalised spaces and understands that each new client has needs and desires different to the last. This approach has created a superficially eclectic style to date, however the core principles of rational planning and a broader geometrical interlocking of spaces combined with honest, natural and warm materials runs through each project. Tom states, “Multi-residential buildings are increasingly important, especially in countries like Australia where the reality of accommodating increasing population in denser urban environments has to overcome the traditional expectation of a 'quarter acre block'. It is not just the act of building more dense accommodation however, but also the quality of the accommodation that is important. If we are to popularise denser urban living then the quality and environmental characteristics of the buildings must be high.” TIm Campbell - Development Director at Crown GroupTim Campbell brings with him more than 16 years’ of experience in the construction and development industry and has been responsible for the delivery of numerous commercial and residential projects both in Sydney and London. Tim possesses a superior understanding of property and construction related legal issues, and has an outstanding reputation for local and government authority liaison. Tim states, "Multi-residential strata is the fastest growing residential segment in New South Wales. Estimates show that more than half of all new residences built in NSW over the next decade will be strata titled. Further, that by 2032 more than 3 million people in NSW will live under a strata titles arrangement. This shows that there is and will continue to be a significant shift to multi-residential living which makes it an important discussion topic."

SPONSORED Finishes Design Products Design Accessories Dekton by Cosentino by Editorial Team 29 July Developed exclusively by the Cosentino R&D department, Dekton by Cosentino is an ultra-compact surface with infinite design possibilities, perfect for a multitude of uses, including flooring, stairs and walls, ventilated facades, countertops and work surfaces, providing the flexibility for both commercial and private use. Initially available in a range of nature-reflective colours and finishes and in large format, Dekton allows surfaces and spaces to be designed without any limits or interruptions, where colour and texture flow freely. Dekton will be available in Australia from Q4, 2013 Dektondekton.com abc Architecture Around The World NOT HOMES On the Banks of the Ganga by Editorial Team 29 July Distinguished by its use of stone, reed and steel wire, the Atali resort, by New Dehli-based RLDA Studio, completely abandons any idea of a commonplace resort aesthetic. With a design that celebrates the means, methods and modes of its construction, Atali presents us with an honest and unique approach to ‘organic’ and symbiotic architecture. The resort planning itself is simple: a singular stone building that houses a storage facility on the lower level, and a dormitory on the upper. A veranda with a tensile roof, which frames magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, also acts as a café and cottage for guests. In fact, the façade can be rather austere in places, a certain kind of Spartan jungle bungalow. But the real beauty of this building is not found in its visual appearance but in its engagement with its site and place. Constructed predominately out of materials that were either found on site or generated during the excavation and site works, Atali has reinterpreted traditional construction technologies historically used to secure and preserve the ancient river embankments. In recognition of this symbiotic relationship between the river and the building’s galvanized gabion boxes, traditionally used to secure the riverbanks in the area, RLDA vertically tied adjacent boxes with un-galvanized steel wire to construct a building that is essentially complete on every level. “The point of arrival is not a building or a structure,” says lead architect Rahoul Singh, “rather, it is a place of ‘nothingness’ – a space that promises through its adjacent structures a point of destination and discovery.” Through verandas and windows that frame the natural landscape beyond, the eye is continually forced to travel outwards, away from the building and into its vast and beautiful surrounds. Enhanced by the potent and saturated shade of the roof’s ‘orange’ colour, which acts to compress the space, this structure acts as both a transitory space and as a space of refuge for the resort’s guests.

According to Paul Reeves, General Manager Sales & Marketing, Beko Australia, Australians love for cooking is seeing many of us choose larger “authentic” style cookware –woks for Asian meals, large paella pans and French enamel casseroles – items often too large to fit on a single cooktop burner. “I think Australians are looking for flexibility of use in all types of appliances – so they can choose the best way to use products to suit their needs and their lifestyle. Our new Indyflex™ cooktop really provides stylish good looks, energy efficiency and the ability to cook with precision, delivering the best possible results,” he said. Best of all, the induction technology of the Beko Indyflex™ cooktop means the zones only heat up the area directly underneath the saucepan, reducing energy consumption, even when using larger pots and pans. While Beko’s induction cooktops heat up rapidly, they also offer 19 different heat levels with simple ‘Touch & Slide’ controls, allowing incredible accuracy in temperature from the gentlest simmering through to high heat for fast frying.

It promises to be an Indesign Experience like no other. Sydney Indesign: The Experience Sydneyindesign.com.au Hong Kong Indesign: The Event hongkongindesign.com Head over here for the T’s & C’s abc Fixed & Fitted Design Products Design Accessories IndyFlex Cooktop by Beko by Editorial Team 29 July By allowing for two of its four induction cooking zones to be linked together so they can act as a single larger cooking zone, the Indyflex 60cm cooktop gives greater flexibility for cooks, and ensures they can cook evenly using larger pots and pans. According to Paul Reeves, General Manager Sales & Marketing, Beko Australia, Australians love for cooking is seeing many of us choose larger “authentic” style cookware –woks for Asian meals, large paella pans and French enamel casseroles – items often too large to fit on a single cooktop burner. “I think Australians are looking for flexibility of use in all types of appliances – so they can choose the best way to use products to suit their needs and their lifestyle. Our new Indyflex™ cooktop really provides stylish good looks, energy efficiency and the ability to cook with precision, delivering the best possible results,” he said. Best of all, the induction technology of the Beko Indyflex™ cooktop means the zones only heat up the area directly underneath the saucepan, reducing energy consumption, even when using larger pots and pans. While Beko’s induction cooktops heat up rapidly, they also offer 19 different heat levels with simple ‘Touch & Slide’ controls, allowing incredible accuracy in temperature from the gentlest simmering through to high heat for fast frying. Other features include an on-off indicator light and a timer to set cooking times for each cooking zone separately. While a booster function is also great for quick heating. Beko has also announced a an exclusive line of kitchen appliances designed by world famous architect and designer Patricia Urquiola. The result is 'Beko Cast - a stylish collection of cooktops and ovens that bring together pure functionality and technical performance with superb design. Urquiola states, "My particular design philosophy for Beko is very simple: a coherent design that fulfils the most diverse standards, that is not pretentious, not difficult to use and is suitable for everyday use but also works just as well in an elegant setting". Bekobeko.com.au abc Happenings What's On Ant Heap or Home? by Editorial Team 29 July Is multi-residential living the way of the future? What is a quality multi-residential development? And how is it achieved? What are the constraints? Who lives in them? And what do 21st Century examples such as Central Park and Parramatta suggest about the future of the home? For the first discussion in Habitus' seminar series at Sydney Indesign, we have gathered a diverse panel of speakers to explore the issues associated to contemporary and future multi-residential living. Speakers: Vy Nguyen - Senior Development Manager at UrbanGrowth NSW (formally Landcom) Vy has a wealth of experience in planning and an active role within the UDIA. A town planner by background, Vy has nearly 10 years of experience in both Local and State Government roles. She specialises in the delivery of residential projects throughout all stages of development from feasibility assessments, design, approvals, construction, marketing and sales. Her depth of experience extends to having a lead role in defining, as well as managing projects. Vy is passionate about creating places where the community has a soul. She believes the discussion about multi-residential living is a unique opportunity to talk about the importance of providing people with lifestyle choices and increasing affordability. Tony Owen - Director at Tony Owen Partners Tony Owen has been a Design Director and senior designer in a number of leading Sydney firms such as SJB Architects, PTW and Phillip Cox Architects. Tony has designed a number of Sydney’s prominent buildings. These include The Sydney Superdome, Darling Island Apartments, Medina Central Apartments and Bondi Beachside Apartments, as well as public buildings such as the Eureka Stockade Museum and Strathfield Open Learning College as well as a number of projects in China, Dubai and South East Asia. Tony states, "We are increasingly dealing with a new and unprecedented set of realities and responding to a new set of imperatives. These include increasing population and densities, limited resources and space, changing climate and the new realities of the global information and financial network. At the same time, technology is delivering new digital tools and capabilities which are impacting on the means with which architecture is realised. This includes new software, new thinking about network strategies and new means of fabrication. As a result of these tools, we are exploring an architecture which is more responsive to the environment." Tom Ferguson - Director of Tom Ferguson Architecture and Design (TFAD). By virtue of the fact that many of Tom's projects to date have been inner-city houses on small sites, they have often had a very strong interior design component as this is the most significant, visible and important part of the dwelling. The practice aims to create personalised spaces and understands that each new client has needs and desires different to the last. This approach has created a superficially eclectic style to date, however the core principles of rational planning and a broader geometrical interlocking of spaces combined with honest, natural and warm materials runs through each project. Tom states, “Multi-residential buildings are increasingly important, especially in countries like Australia where the reality of accommodating increasing population in denser urban environments has to overcome the traditional expectation of a 'quarter acre block'. It is not just the act of building more dense accommodation however, but also the quality of the accommodation that is important. If we are to popularise denser urban living then the quality and environmental characteristics of the buildings must be high.” TIm Campbell - Development Director at Crown GroupTim Campbell brings with him more than 16 years’ of experience in the construction and development industry and has been responsible for the delivery of numerous commercial and residential projects both in Sydney and London. Tim possesses a superior understanding of property and construction related legal issues, and has an outstanding reputation for local and government authority liaison. Tim states, "Multi-residential strata is the fastest growing residential segment in New South Wales. Estimates show that more than half of all new residences built in NSW over the next decade will be strata titled. Further, that by 2032 more than 3 million people in NSW will live under a strata titles arrangement. This shows that there is and will continue to be a significant shift to multi-residential living which makes it an important discussion topic."
