Taking time to outline a decade of achievements, Neil Hobbs, who at the next AGM will become Immediate Past President of the Institute, has this week also vented his “frustrations” with internal quarrels that have “prevented the CEO from carrying out his duties”.

Likening local upset to the UK Landscape Institute President’s recent resignation (also citing lack of support), Hobbs draws parallels between the board’s perceived poor conduct and the contravention of Fair Work Australia’s workplace bullying Act of 2009.

And Motoko Ishii famously equated it to life itself. Indispensable, life-affirming and metamorphic, light underpins all architectural and design efforts.

Inside DCM’s office

Moving ‘uptown’ from five floors to a single open studio, Denton Corker Marshall has eschewed the popularist office palette of soft pastels and soothing timbers. “It’s a fairly stripped back fit-out, but it’s honest and conveys the way we work, as much as how we design,” says DCM’s founding director and architect, Barrie Marshall.
