Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Dialling In With Koichi Takada

On the 4th episode of Dialling In With Habitus we speak to Koichi Takada, a Sydney-based globally-recognised architect, about the opportunities within architecture presented to us by way of the pandemic.

Koichi Takada is a Sydney-based architect with built work all over the world. He has numerous globally recognized projects such as the interior design for One Central Park, East Village Urban Marketplace, the National Museum of Qatar in Doha, and Arc by Crown Group which received an honourable mention in the 2019 INDE.Awards.

As a recipient of so many national and international awards, it’s easy to assume his practice, Koichi Takada Architects, has been around far longer than it has. In fact, it was founded in 2008 and in this short time, just more than a decade, he has established himself as a world leader in architecture.

Today on Dialling In With Habitus we chat to Koichi about how his frequent international work has meant that the transition to work from home was surprising streamlined and how working remotely whether you’re travelling or in isolation allows a greater ability to focus on the tasks at hand. We also speak about greening cities by designing much greener architecture, what it means for us a society and what it looks like.

Happy listening!
