Materials

What does it mean to build with materials that are safe for all species throughout time? While seeking an answer, this master class covers both the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Materials and Health + Happiness Petals. Over three live workshops, learn the LBC Petal requirements, explore local case studies, hear from guest speakers and apply the learnings from specification to audit.

28 July, 4 August and 11 August.

Place and Equity

How might we regenerate a healthy relationship with the natural environment and shape communities in ways that reconnect people to ecology and local context? How do we ensure those same environments are inclusive, accessible, and just for all people? This master class covers the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Equity and Place Petals over three live workshops.

18 August, 25 August, 1 September.

Biophilic Design

How can we meaningfully incorporate Biophilic Design? Biophilic Design is increasingly used and requested in built environment projects. But what is it, why should we use it, and what does good Biophilic Design look like in the Oceania context? While covering the LBC Beauty Petal, this master class integrates Country-Centred Design, Nature-Positive strategy and Neuroarchitecture.

15, 22 and 29 September.

Energy and Water

How might we treat energy and water as the precious resources that they are? How do you become highly water efficient and treat water on site? What are the options if you can’t? What does best practice energy efficiency look like and how could your project be self-sufficient using only renewables? This master class covers the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Energy and Water Petals.

6, 13, and 20 October.
