Their current project, [RE]Maker, explores innovative ways to repurpose wetsuit surplus materials in architectural design.
This event provides insight into how timber tectonics and digital fabrication play significant roles in minimizing environmental impact while maximizing functionality and sustainability in architecture. The online event will take place on 13 June 2025, from 12.30–1.30pm AEST.

Navigating Fatigue in Multicultural Practice
What does professional fatigue look like for multicultural practitioners in architecture? The next session—On the Verandah—delves into the hidden layers of work often undertaken by multicultural practitioners balanced against homogenous environments. Featuring Sonia Sarangi, Thihoa Gill, and Saba Adil Malik, this discussion focuses on understanding and alleviating the fatigue from such professional landscapes.
The conversation aims to uncover the invisible labor faced by these practitioners and explore strategies for both individuals and organizations to mitigate such burdens. Scheduled for 19 June 2025, from 12.30–1.30pm AEST, this session offers an invaluable forum for advocating change in architectural practice.
