those of the editor, staff or publisher of the magazine.This does however raise a series of issues, none more put
more clearly than The Australian’s chief economics editor
Alan Kohler.
“Underlying the crisis are two things: deregulation and
Australia’s practice of build-to-sell rather than build-to-rent.”
“In other countries apartments are built by institutions,
usually pension funds and endowments, which then rent
them out. They make sure they are well built, because these
are long-term investors who want the buildings to last a
long time,” writes Kohler.
In other words, the current approach to building our
residential towers, especially in Sydney is well and truly
proving to be unsustainable.
This leads me to another part of the sustainability debate- that is the 2019 Architecture & Design Sustainability
Awards, to be held in Sydney on November 7. This year, we
have an 11-member judging panel, one that I believe, is the
best so far. You can of course take a lot more of an intimate
look at our judges and what makes them tick on page 24.
Being the 13th year for our awards shows that far from
becoming set in our ways, we have pushed the boundaries
of highlighting the developments surrounding sustainability
as well as implementing it ourselves.
Then it is of no surprise that six out of the total 11
judges are women, nor the fact that we will be focusing on
Indigenous design and its impact on the built environment
in our Sustainability Live panel event.
Sustainability as we all know comes in many shapes, sizes
and forms, and it’s this that we need to fully understand
before any new residential development gets the green light.
