This week we meet Marcus Ieraci, senior design lead at Hayball. Ieraci discusses the rise of pre-fab in student housing, how his daughters inspire him, and what the '!' moment is.
ADR speaks to Sarah Smith, who started her career designing prisons and has since moved on to work at Hayball in the education sector. She discusses the transition from designing correctional centres to designing schools, how the layout of schools is changing, and her favourite space in Australia – by Johnson Pilton Walker.
"The atrium is my favourite part of the design. It really makes you feel like you're in one environment and I think for the students, it will help them feel an ownership of the space." David Tweedie, director at Hayball, discusses the practice's latest vertical school project, which is situated in Melbourne's Richmond.
A selection of the country’s award-winning architectural projects are in the running to be doubly rewarded with the AIA revealing its 2015 National Architecture Awards shortlist this week.
