The Architecture of Wellbeing: Designing Sustainable Housing 

Join award-winning architect Andrew Maynard, director of Austin Maynard Architects, for a discussion on the future of sustainable housing.

Andrew will lead participants through the foundations of sustainable design, focusing on multi-residential communities. Using real world examples of Austin Maynard Architect’s celebrated projects Terrace House, Parklife, Thornbury House and the upcoming local Geelong development Hope & Autumn - he will demonstrate how homes can be built for context, planet and connection.Attendees will learn how Geelong, as a UNESCO City of Design, can lead by adopting housing models that embrace a holistic approach to sustainable living. At AM.A, sustainability is synonymous with wellbeing; and this is a session about designing with intention, heart, and common sense to create healthier, more resilient urban communities.
