5468796 Architecture forefronts the challenges being faced by architects, builders, developers and policy-makers in their efforts to address housing supply gaps, and presents a ‘toolkit’ of design strategies to meet these demands without compromising quality; and to inspire a culture of knowledge sharing among peers. The session will expand on Practice Ecosystem, describing 546’s approach to the architect’s role in challenging contexts, intersecting with politics, economics, civic governance, social activism, and other forms of cultural and scholarly research; and Toolkit, looking at a selection of the firm’s projects, uncovering a series of design and planning strategies developed over years of experience in the multi-family housing typology.
