The Working Capitol’s new site, designed by HASSELL, aims to turn the cubicle "inside out" with a number of inspiring spaces for any type of working style.
"I think across the world, whether in Australia, Shenzhen or Songdo, city makers are in danger of fetishising the power of technology and infrastructure to create the most efficient and effective human service environments, ultimately losing sight of what cities are all about: the experiences of people being people."
"It's vital for city officials to view these opportunities for their broader development potential. If you’re looking at conference centres as simply standalone facilities, you’re not fully capitalising on your investment." Lockwood discusses his work on convention centres, and why it's imperative that these buildings are 'extroverted'.
Yesterday, HASSELL launched Urban Futures – a thought-provoking program and blog which features research and new ideas in both the local and international architectural sphere. David Tickle, HASSELL principal and urban design sector leader, speaks to ADR about the project.
