Recent Podcasts and Videos
In pursuit of sharing generously.
I’ve never seen much point in hoarding my hard-earned knowledge and experience just for me and the small group of clients I work with each year. I’d rather share it as much as possible, and below is a collection of podcast interviews and event recordings for you to enjoy in your own time.
Undercover Architect podcast
The Undercover Architect podcast is one of Australia’s top 5 design podcasts, and host Amelia Lee curates an impressive range of useful guest experts to help anyone planning a retrofit, renovation or new build to ‘get it right’. I was recently interviewed by Amelia discussing my new focus on regional low-carbon homes, and I’ll also include an older episode from my time at Light House Architecture and Science which covers key knowledge areas for designing and building an energy-efficient home (this one remains one of Amelia’s most popular episodes of all time.)
Renew’s ‘Sustainable Design 101’ Series
Renew is a national, not-for-profit organisation that inspires, enables and advocates for people to live sustainably in their homes and communities. The recently held a four-part series on ‘Sustainable Design 101’ and it’s really an excellent resource. Each session includes highly respected industry leaders, and starts with the basics before working through to quite advanced information.
The sessions include:
‘Where to Start’, with guests Jenny Edwards (Light House Architecture & Science), Jane Hilliard (Designful) and Nigel Bell (ECODesign Architects)
‘What is Low Energy Design?’ with guests Sarah Lebner (Cooee Architecture), Dick Clarke (Envirotecture), Simone Schenkel (Gruen Eco Design)
‘The Basics of Building Materials’ with guests Elizabeth Wheeler (Future Focused Building), Jane Caught (Heliotape), David Rochford (NatHERS Dept of Climate Change), Grady Peterson (Sustainability Victoria).
