Centerbrook Architects and Planners’ Post

It’s been such a natural fit for an org like Centre for Public Impact to collaborate with WonderLab on a Melbourne DesignWeek offering! We both love learning and a few things have really made a more mutual learning posisble. 💡Generosity of ideas and a clear commitment to working in relational, creative and affirming ways, (which seems to be part of the dna of how WonderLabbers show up in engagements), means we build/maintain relationships, and can have more trust in eachother, curiosity about differences in opinion, and give and receive feedback well. 📆I think having the scheduled time available with the explicit intent of testing ideas and getting feedback is one of the most impactful and easy to implement hacks to build a culture of learning. It’s also bloody hard to protect space and time for learning and build habits as a team. 3….? I’m super curious what others are doing to develop practice, and hold space for learning from and with eachother. What’s your favorite tip, or something you’ve seen done well?!

We hope to see you at this panel. Expand your view on what architecture can do: Here and everywhere in the world

As part of London Festival of Architecture, Brookfield Properties commissioned award-winning architecture practice, NEON, for this year’s public summer installation at City Point. Inspired by the festival’s theme of ‘Reimagine’, ‘SQUIGGLE’ explores the non-linear reality of life. “People make plans to go from A to B, and often picture these plans as direct lines. However, the actual process is irregular. Our path can suddenly change or develop in different directions at the same time. This squiggly line of direction can feel frustrating, but it is the part where we learn, grow and make important realisations of our journey.” Open to the public June to September: https://lnkd.in/deKkTJDY #wheresthebuzz #marketingagency #flexiblemarketingresource #marketing #flexibleresource #LFA #LFA2024 #LFAat20 #LondonFestivalOfArchitecture #installation #publicrealm #architecture #londonarchitecture #communityengagement #publicrealm

Awards, but make it matter! 🏆By now you’ll know we’re a team fueled by passion, innovation, and dedication to this industry, and the weight of our influence will forever be used to create spaces where our industry can flourish. We also know that it takes insanely amazing brands to help us build our industry and that we’re able to create this space and place of recognition because of Infinity Surfaces and Oggie, and that matters, too — because it takes a village to present something on this scale. Despite everything that’s come before, this industry is anything but neutral, tepid, or ordinary. A bold, ballsy energy has swept through architecture and design, catapulting us into a realm of pure possibility. It’s like we’re all finally seeing in vivid, unapologetic colour — and there’s no going back. Whether you’ve won, been shortlisted, or simply had the courage to enter this year’s inaugural SCAPE Awards of Excellence, you’re all part of a significant change sweeping across our country. These awards celebrate the remarkable work of our architects and designers, honouring the exceptional vision that shapes our world. This is just the beginning of a movement that celebrates the soul of South African architecture and design — an ongoing ode to our impact as a profession. This is what excellence looks like, and so much lies on the horizon for this movement. If we have anything to do with it, and spoiler alert, we do... together we’ll be forging new paths and creating new and unchartered spaces for our industry to be celebrated. This issue is a genuine nod to the profession, to those who aspire to be an architect or designer, and to the broader network of building professionals we represent. This issue is our love letter to the extraordinary winning submissions! What’s next? We’re ready for 2025. Expect new categories, an incredible new venue, an expanded jury, + a fresh wave of energy you won’t be able to ignore. This is a pretty EPIC ONE.🔗 https://lnkd.in/dSYBxEpe Thank you to @infinitysurfacesza for partnering with us, & @oggieflooring for joining our dream team 🧡🏆🧡🏆!
