Noosa Residence....getting closer to the end and the delivery of a vision, a vision developed in partnership between client and architect.
A partnership of trust and financial stewardship, working closely in simpatico, with a team of incredibly talented and experienced trades and master builder to develop a beautifully crafted home . Huge shout out to Chris Smith and his team.
We have moved well beyond the drawings, developed details in partnership on site, combining years of experience and excellence, to produce a building of exceptional quality.

So excited to see the last few months and elements come together.
The pool is now opened up to start the tiling, and interiors are closing out and landscaping moving in..... Exciting times.

Feeling truly blessed.

We are architects of the future.
And we all have a responsibility to make better decisions that consider people and planet.

On Friday 14 August, I had the privilege of being a key note speaker at the Women Chiefs of Enterprises International (Australia) National Convention in Hobart, and opening the conference conversation around STEAM, leadership and the futures we are collectively shaping with Deborah WACE®  and Angela Pelizzari  Angela Pelizzari

Following on from addresses by the Governor of Tasmania, Her Excellency the Honourable Caroline Wells, National President and TAS State President

My proposition was simple:
What happens when we stop seeing complexity as a collection of separate problems — and begin to see the whole?

Housing connects to health.
Transport connects to opportunity.
Buildings connect to energy.
Materials connect to extraction.
Education connects to agency.

And the decisions we make today connect to lives and environments that we may never personally experience.

The challenge is that we can make perfectly rational decisions in isolation.

It is only when we see what they connect to that their wider consequences and possibilities become visible.

Sophie Ballagh, Antaractic Expedition Leader + Adventurer, who was the following keynote speaker, spoke to consequences and doing simple Maths to balance being unclean in a capitalist society that takes from the environment through tourism

Jannis McKenna, third keynote, spoke to turn inward to the algorithm of self and leading with integrity and inner wisdom.  Change of a better outcome for sustainability and legacy can sometimes involve hard decisions.

All three conversations came back to leading with purpose based on values and action.

This is exactly the  thinking sits behind the Build with Intelligence Compass, a framework I have been developing through my work in architecture, education and community engagement.
At its centre is Action.
Around it sit five interconnected dimensions:
Values. People. Place. Systems. Opportunity.

It asks us to pause before rushing towards solutions and ask:
What do we value?
Who experiences this?
How does place shape life?
How are the systems connected?
What futures become possible?

More Madrid snapshots of details and spaces. Capturing a bit of Day 2.

We hit downtown first, before venturing to Madrid's equivalent of NYC's Central Park - which everyone refers to as the lungs for the city.
The Crystal Palace was all covered up as it is being restored, which was slightly sad to discover when we finslly got to the centre of the massive paek.

So lucky to be in the city when see the crowds turn out everwhere to watch the FIFA Spain vs Portugal.

Some snap shots of Madrid, the classical/ beaux-Arts style architecture, the cool interiors of the Metropolis and it's Altanis theme nightclub, the Prado and the Botantical Gardens.
We covered a lot on our first day in Madrid with the Grand Palace Museum providing us with an incredible overview of the history of the city of Madrid, the different eras and the Spanish empire.
The cathedral was pretty cool as well.

Notes on the Metropolis:
The Edificio Metrópolis, located at the corner of Calle de Alcalá and Gran Vía in central Madrid, is one of Spain’s most photographed landmarks. Inaugurated in 1911, this Beaux-Arts style architectural icon features an ornate Neo-Renaissance limestone facade, a black slate dome with golden details, and the famous Winged Victory statue at its peak.Following an extensive renovation, the historic landmark has been transformed into Club Metrópolis, a luxury hospitality destination.

5 buildings by Santiago Calatrava in one place.
An architect's dream !! I nearly fell off my bike 😆

An opera house, a science museum, an Imax theatre/planetarium, a promenade that covers a carpark.

A tramsformative precinct for Valencia, built between 2005 - 09.

The government of Valencia resolved to establish a museum of national importance, to maintain its city’s cultural standing, The 35-hectare site chosen for this initiative is located in the dry bed of the Turia River, midway between the old city and the coastal district of Nazaret. A challenging architectural ensemble by Calatrava brings new focus to this previously incoherent and underdeveloped area, while linking the center city and the sea.

In 1991, Calatrava won the competition for the original project: a telecommunications tower, to be built on the west end of the site. Later that same year, Calatrava received the commission to develop the whole complex, which was also to include a science museum and a planetarium. After a change of government in 1996, the planned telecommunications tower was replaced by an Opera House (Palau de les Arts).

The Opera House, Planetarium/IMAX Theater (Hemispheric Theater) and Príncipe Felipe Science Museum form a linear sequence from west to east.
A fifth structure, known as L’Umbracle, is a promenade and parking garage, built within an open arcade that is a contemporary reinvention of the winter garden. A raised, axial walkway, offering views to the sea, serves as an ordering element, with gardens and reflecting pools on either side.

The Science Museum is a spatial tour de force, 104-meter wide and 241-meter long. Like the grand exhibition pavilions of the past, it is a longitudinal building, created from the modular development of transverse sections that repeat along the length of the site.

Five concrete ‘trees’, organized in a row, branch out to support the connection between roof and facade, on a scale that permits the integration of service cores and elevators.

The Planetarium/IMAX theater resembles a human eye, set within a 24,000 square meters pool. The ‘pupil’ is the hemispherical dome of the IMAX theater, which is transparent.

Just incredible.

Dali's beach house, garden and studio.

He kept 4 swans as pets. They swam in the p***s shaped pool, with baby swan fountains sprinkling arches of water across it. When the swans died, he had them preserved, stuffed, and then had then placed in his library / sitting area.

Fun fact - if you didn't know. Dali did the graphics and wrapping for the lollipops Chup a Chup.

The mouth shaped couch pops up everywhere.

The micheli man sits near the pool with a yellow sash. By 1979, Dali had a full size blow up Michelin man at his home in Port Lligat.....

Salvador Dali - the surrealist artist.
Took a day trip out of Barcelona to see Dali's museum, his house and his studio. I learnt about the surrealist movement in senior art, and even was so inspired I did my final drawing assessment in theme.

These images are for the museum that he built and gifted back to Spain.

Here, I learnt more about the man than I needed to know. Some facts were absolutely horrifying. He died with $250M to his name, gifting everything back to Spain, including his IP. He was the recipient of favour of dictator Franco, and hence the extreme wealth. After this day, my innocent views on the man himself have altered forever.
He became the artist he was due to shocking mental trauma caused by his father.

The museum itself, is crowned with eggs and dotted with bread

Eggs - the perfect form. Spiritual idealism

Dali was mates with Gaudi, who used egg forms prolifically in his architecture. This perhaps is the influence.

Dali was also mates with Picasso, but fell out due to political differences.
