Design for the public
How the public perceives design often differs to how the industry does. Public architecture projects like the National Gallery of Victoria, Federation Square and Melbourne Pavilions show that the public is interested in good design, yet how is designing for the public different from designing for the private sphere?Can we really say that we’re delivering diverse solutions when there are so few women in leadership roles? How can architecture and design close the wide gap between men and women’s representation in leadership positions, and what responsibility does the industry have for the notion that architecture is a boy’s club?
