Inside you’ll find a range of inspiring architecture from New Zealand and Australia, augmented with conversations with industry leaders such as NZIA Gold Medal recipients, Hugh Tennent and Ewan Brown, as well as Gabrielle Pelletier FRAIA, 2025 NSW Emerging Architect Prize winner.
In the context of aligned industries, BRANZ CEO Claire Falck explains why building science is more important than ever in the lead up to proposed changes to building research funding, and landscape designer Dean Philip Saunders breaks down the intricacies behind our built landscapes. Lastly, we introduce you to Resene Student Design Award winner, Mila Makasini.
From Resene there’s the latest addition to the Specialist Effects range – MyArtisan Foundation Coat, a snapshot of new and popular products from across the Resene Group of Companies, a piece on the evolution of the Resene palette from 101 colours to over 6000, and crowd favourite, Resene Technical Director, Colin Gooch demystifies the physics behind how we feel heat, in his inimitable style.
You’ll also find an array of inspiring colour trends and forecasts, along with a peek at some international architectural projects that serve to move the conversation around architecture forward.
I hope you enjoy this latest issue of Resene blackwhite and I encourage to get in touch to let me know. Let’s keep the conversations flowing.
