In celebration of World Architecture Day, Australian architectural hardware company Novas and are launching an interview series with four prominent architects.
Beginning on 5 October, with a new interview released every Monday of the month, the series will ask “why architecture matters,” particular in the context of climate change, COVID-19 and the economic recession.
ArchitectureAU editor Linda Cheng will be conducting the one-on-one interviews. Sydney architect Koichi Takada will be first of the mark, followed by Perth architects Fariborz Hatam and David Hillam and Melbourne architect Callum Fraser.
Koichi Takada is known for his focus on greening and naturalizing architecture, particularly in urban environments. His firm’s projects include the Sydney towers project Arc, the National Museum of Qatar Gift Shops and a forthcoming 1000-tree tower in South Brisbane.
A former design director at Aedas, Fariborz Hatam has experience working across Australia, Croatia, Afghanistan, India, Georgia, Iran, Qatar, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
David Hillam, of Hillam Architects, is known for his high-quality multi residential designs, including the recently completed the recently completed Botanical apartment building, which won a number of awards.
Callum Fraser co-founded Melbourne firm Elenberg Fraser in 1998, and has helped build it into a successful, award-winning practice. Projects include Vue de Monde, Zumbo Melbourne and A’Beckett Tower.
The first interview with Koichi Takada begins at 12.30 pm on 5 October. To register to watch the interviews, head here.
