Industry partnerships
We partner with industry groups, including businesses, peak bodies and advocacy groups, to better understand research challenges and deliver tailor made, innovative solutions from inception right through to implementation.
These alliances empower us to align theoretical insights with practical needs, realising initiatives that drive forward urban innovation and sustainability.
We create social impact by:
- Examining how all citizens can benefit from the economic gains generated by new products, services and industries.
- Approaches to housing construction and delivery in an environment where workforce shortages and supply chains are disrupted.
- Investigating effective ways to pursue circularity by designing products that enable waste to be better consumed and repurposed by relevant supply chains for value added manufacturing.
- Investigating the implications of water and energy consumption by the design of products and programs that achieve more while consuming less.
- Investigating best methods and practice for the championing of a change in the narrative of ‘good design’ being about aesthetics, towards a meaning of highly efficient, healthy spaces for people and Country.
- Understanding the potential benefit on design quality of mandating health impact assessments in project planning, from project inception.
- Investigating the impact of sustainability standards on the performance of a building in the context of a neighbourhood and over the lifecycle of the building.
