Ray Brown: value of charettes, architecture at the big end of town, and Adelaide hitting its stride
Ray Brown heads a practice of 700 people with Architectus, which, after the merger with Conrad Gargett in April this year, is now the biggest architectural practice in Australia.
He’s led some of Australia’s biggest projects – from buildings to urban planning, in most sectors, from offices to rail, social housing and heritage – sometimes, for the biggest projects, in collaboration with big global architectural names. These include the stunning 1 Bligh Street in Sydney, which scooped sustainability hearts and minds when it was completed in 2011.

Sarah Ratcliffe: NABERS UK, optimism and collaboration
In this episode of the How to Build a Better World podcast, The Fifth Estate's managing editor Tina Perinotto sat down with Sarah Ratcliffe, CEO of the Better Buildings Partnership, to pick her brains over several hot topics facing the real estate sector in the UK.
BBP UK is a collaboration of major property owners in the UK with 51 members holding around £280 billion (A$493) worth of assets under management – so when this group turns its attention to energy efficiency and sustainability you can be sure you’ll get cut through in the entire market.
Sarah said that although there is a long way to go in the UK when it comes to sustainability, she is optimistic about what the future will bring.
“I think the UK is making some really good strides here... because time is short."
