ABC Comfort Zone / By Design / Blueprint for Living
For decades there has been a design-related radio show on ABC Radio National every Saturday at 9am. In recent years it’s broadened far beyond the built environment into a cheery Saturday morning magazine, with a growing emphasis on food and gardens. It’s not quite the must-listen show that it once was, and now has been relegated to the 1pm slot, when everyone is out at Bunnings. There are still some great interviews hosted by current host Jonathan Green.

Building Connections — NSW Architects Registration Board & Object
“Building Connections is a multi layered resource aimed at supporting the teaching of architecture units as part of the Visual Arts Syllabus Stage 6. It is divided into 3 parts – the frames, conceptual framework and practice, and focuses on the architecture of six art galleries and museums. It explores the connections between architecture and other art forms, investigating ideas and themes through images, text, artmaking activities and links to other information. Two of the galleries are examined in more detail through essays and descriptions of practice, demonstrating how architecture can be considered within broader discussions of the Visual Arts.”

SPECULATIVE STORIES: Narratives in Landscape Architecture
GEElab
The GEElab is a creative think & design tank for what is next (in 3-5 yrs) in games & entertainment. We conduct applied, yet critical research at the intersections of game design and game thinking with architecture & urbanism, with mobility, with various media, with entrepreneurship, as well as with novel types of engagement in non-entertainment contexts. The GEElab team explores and evaluates the ways that games and everyday life will mix, and how one could, meaningfully, colonize the other.
