Rethinking Design Innovation

How to expand your design capabilities and
deliver exceptional architectural features.

There are many parallels between Architecture and

Industrial Design and ways in which the two disciplines
can collaborate. But is the relationship between
architect and industrial designer being fully explored
and maximised?

The presenter, will outline ways that collaboration with

an industrial designer can deliver an architect’s creative
vision using the latest technologies, materials and
manufacturing techniques. Pushing creative boundaries
to deliver unique and site-specific results.
He will highlight a range of opportunities where
architects have collaborated with industrial designers
to deliver unique design features including facades,
skylights, retractable roofs, furniture, landscape
structures, playgrounds, and highly complex features
such as the heliostat system for the international award-
winning One Central Park, and the new sun shading
system at UTS Library.
This will be a demonstration of how collaboration
with an industrial designer can realise an architect’s
designs beyond the limits of traditional construction
