The People have spoken! The Project serves as a unique platform for pairing different creative forces and giving them total design freedom. We asked you to pick your favourite.

As part of the annual Indesign event program, architects, designers, visual artists – creatives in any medium – collaborate with exhibitors to push products and services to their most most imaginative potentials. Each year we select a theme to unite the installations, this year participants worked to the notion of ‘Process’, which connotes both mechanical and biological systems; learning through doing, experience and change.

Each year we invite attendees to vote for their favourite installation and we have great pleasure in announcing that the 2013 Fridcorp Project People’s Choice Award has gone to Europanel and their collaborators Geyer and The Initiative.

Charged with building a space that would serve as a pop-up discussion space, the team delivered us ‘The Podium’. A vast, evocative, pop-up auditorium that proved exceptionally functional in delineating the space as well as demonstrating the superior sound absorption properties of Europanel’s product offering.

Also to be congratulated are three Sydney Indesign attendees who took part in the Fridcorp Project Peoples Choice voting who will take home the following prizes:
Lilith Palmer and Leah Schwartz who each win a Maruni SANAA Rabbit Chair valued at $635 RRP thanks to Seeho Su.
Congratulations also to Kiri Johnson who wins the Workshopped Design Package valued at $1,500!

Stepping into Intuit’s Sydney workplace certainly doesn’t feel like walking into an office. Why? In this film, we discover that, when joy takes precedence as a design driver, even a high-performing commercial CBD headquarters can feel like an intuitive wonderland that invites employees to choose their own adventure.
In the last instalment of our three-part performance seating series, Alex Bain from Architectus explains why sitting well shouldn’t feel like sitting at all and explores an unexpected success metric of the hybrid workplace: the grounding power of emotional support.
In the first instalment of our three-part series exploring what it means to sit your best, we pose the question to Gray Puksand’s Dale O’Brien, who discusses the importance of ease and majority rule when it comes to sitting and reveals why specifying a task chair is not unlike choosing a Volvo.
In the second instalment of our performance seating three-parter, we turn to DKO’s Michael Drescher and Jacob Olsen to peek behind Sayl’s confident architectural form and explore the ideas of inclusivity, adaptability and freedom to move as hallmarks of what sitting your best actually means.
Michael Brand talks us through a new book on the architecture of Naala Badu, the culmination of Sydney Modern Project.
Timothy Alouani-Roby met with Richard Francis-Jones of fjcstudio (formerly fjmtstudio) to discuss his timely, provocative and, quite frankly, necessary book on architecture. In this first part of the book review, we consider the alienation and commodification of the profession, as well as its place in society.
