    Episode 306: Decay and Play: Towards a living cemetery with architect & PhD graduate, Isabel Lasala

    According to PhD graduate Isabel Lasala, who is also an architect and landscape architect, and one of the directors of Lasala & Lasala Design Studio, "Cemeteries have long been central to our relationship with death, traditionally viewed as sacred and static places.  "But what if we reimagined cemeteries as dynamic, hybrid spaces shaped by time, memory, and ecological processes?   "Rather than viewing their gradual decay as failure, we could explore design-driven alternatives that merge the contrasting forces of grief and play, transforming decay into a catalyst for civic engagement.  "This approach could inspire innovative design strategies for revitalising forgotten urban spaces, creating a new type of urban environment that bridges grief and play, memory and adaptation." In this episode, we talk to Isabel about applying urban design ideas to a necropolis.

    Episode 305: Designing sustainably for health & wellbeing with Tamara White from WAM

    In this episode, sponsored by Autex Acoustics, we talk with Tamara White from Warren and Mahoney (WAM), whose work spans creating environments that support human performance, connection, and healthier futures.  We discuss how designers are redefining what sustainable spaces look and feel like — and what that means for the people using them.”  Our theme is on how can architects and designers create spaces that are not only environmentally sustainable, but actively support human health, wellbeing, performance, and connection?  This conversation also explores the evolving relationship between sustainability and wellbeing across workplace, airport, and hospitality design and will examine how designers are responding to changing expectations around equity, flexibility, resilience, and the human experience.  This podcast is brought to you in association with Autex Acoustics, proud sponsors of our 2026 Sustainability series of podcasts.

    Episode 300: Jacob Burke, founder of Mijasu, on removing the bottlenecks for people‑centred outcomes across the built environment

    Jacob Burke is the founder of Mijasu, an interdisciplinary group of design practices focused on people‑centred outcomes across the built environment.  With more than 25 years’ experience in the Australian market, his career was shaped by humble beginnings in a family business and a hands-on experience through design, delivery and business leadership.  He established Mijasu in 2019 as a parent company designed to acquire, integrate and scale high‑quality design practices within a unified operating model.  In this interview, Jacob talks about the major emphasis of his company's focus - streamlining the back‑end of design businesses, simplifying systems, centralising shared services, and removing inefficiencies to create operational leverage and a platform for sustainable growth.

    Episode 299: Zoe Schmidt & Paul Charteris on how low-carbon construction can actually work

    This episode tackles one of construction’s biggest questions: If the built environment needs to rapidly cut embodied carbon, what materials and manufacturing systems can realistically scale. The construction sector sits at the centre of the climate challenge. Cement and concrete underpin modern infrastructure but remain among the world’s most carbon-intensive materials. At the same time, a new generation of circular manufacturers is turning waste streams into building products designed to replace traditional materials altogether.  So which path leads to meaningful change? Is the future about decarbonising established industries—or replacing linear systems with circular alternatives?  In this episode are Zoe Schmidt Technical Marketing Lead from Adbri, one of Australia’s major cement and construction materials companies working to reduce emissions in hard-to-abate sectors, and Paul Charteris CEO, saveBOARD, a company transforming difficult-to-recycle packaging waste into engineered building materials. Image: Paul Charteris (left) and Zoe Schmidt (right) / Supplied. If you want to see the work of Adbri and saveBoard, they'll be at FutureBuild, ICC Sydney, 11-13 June.
