Hear from industry leaders making waves in architecture, design and construction
This session provides architects with practical insight into prefabricated balcony systems and compliant timber use in multi-residential and mixed-use buildings. It covers Grappler’s modular balcony anatomy, compliance pathways, and the benefits of offsite manufacture for design efficiency, sustainability, and lifecycle performance, alongside guidance on specifying natural timber where fire ratings, height, and boundary conditions apply.
This combined session explores practical, compliant design solutions for multi-residential and mixed-use buildings, focusing on prefabricated balcony systems and fire-rated timber applications. Architects will gain insight into how offsite-manufactured balconies can streamline design, compliance, and construction, while also learning how to confidently specify natural timber cladding and linings when fire performance is driven by height or boundary conditions.
Architecture at scale doesn’t just change skylines — it activates entire cities. In this keynote, Matthew Farr of Populous will explore how major sports and entertainment projects can become catalysts for economic growth, cultural connection, and lasting legacy.
In this CPD session, three industry experts from Allco and Omega Windows and Doorswill share insights that go Beyond the Surface: The Science of Comfort —exploring how integrated design, product performance, and best-practice detailing work together to create healthier, more resilient built environments.
This presentation, Beyond the Frame: Resilience in New Zealand’s Built Environment,invites you to step beyond the traditional boundaries of design, past aesthetics and compliance, to uncover what resilience truly means for architecture in a rapidly changing world.
