The Local Project

News Feature・Our global event series ‘Designing For A Changing World’, was brought to life in the beautiful Fisher & Paykel Appliances Experience Centre in Melbourne. The night offered the perfect setting for shared insights on design, architecture and the power of human connection from panelists, Clare Cousins of Clare Cousins Architecture, Jeremy McLeod of Breathe and Rachel Nolan of Kennedy Nolan Architects – hosted by Aidan Anderson of The Local Project. With an atmosphere that encouraged collaboration and creativity, the event served as a reminder of the importance of coming together to share stories and perspectives. As we continue to explore the ever-evolving design landscape, we look forward to more opportunities to connect and inspire. Stay tuned for the upcoming events in Sydney, New York, Los Angeles, Auckland and London.
