The Architectural Science Association (ANZAScA) is hosting a free webinar on Thursday, August 19, where four experts will discuss commercial building design in the post-pandemic world.

More than a year into the pandemic, new themes and trends are emerging in the design of commercial work spaces.

The presenters include:

She is a certified Passive House Designer (PHI), Green Star Accredited Professional and Board Director at the Australian Passive House Association. She will explore practical ways of creating workplaces that work harder.
• Luke Wilson
  Wilson is an associate with the Jackson Clement Burrows Architect. He focuses on the strategic development of projects in the concept design, master planning and schematic design phases. He will speak about changing market needs in the post-pandemic office and the revival of the live-work precinct.
