Concrete is the most widely used manufactured material on Earth — second only to water in global consumption — and one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions. The race to develop and scale low-carbon alternatives is well underway, with the potential for an unprecedented reduction in CO₂ emissions.

In this episode, HIP V. HYPE Founder Liam Wallis joins Rackel San Nicolas, Associate Professor - Electrical, Mechanical and Infrastructure Engineering, University of Melbourne; Daniel Prohasky, CEO, Curvecrete & Architectural Engineering Lecturer, Swinburne University of Technology and Alex Goad, Founder, Reef Design Lab.

As material science rapidly advances, the challenge lies in translating innovation into real-world application. What technologies already exist? Do they actually work? And if so, why aren’t we seeing them widely adopted across the built environment?

Join us for a live recording to separate fact from fiction and explore the role of low-carbon concrete in shaping a more sustainable built environment — and beyond.

Social value refers to the positive social, environmental, and economic impacts of a project beyond financial gains. However, there is currently no standardised way to define or measure social value in the built environment in Australia; this lack of clarity makes it hard to assess a project’s impact, maximise positive outcomes and ensure accountability.

In this episode, HIP V. HYPE's Better Cities & Regions Associate Alexandra Faure joins Samantha Peart, Global Head of Sustainability, Hassell; Ingrid Langtry, Place & Experience Expert and Gavin Ashley, Head of Better Cities & Regions and a Director of Sustainability, HIP V. HYPE.

As our society faces growing environmental and social challenges, a clearer, systematic approach is required to meaningfully incorporate social value into projects of all scales.

Join us for a live recording to explore practical ways to define, deliver and measure meaningful social value for architects, planners, developers, builders, economists or citizens alike.

Too often neglected in the project cycle, post-occupancy research seeks to understand gaps between design intent and real-world performance. Energy use, indoor environmental quality (IEQ), user satisfaction, culture & community, unintended consequences (good & bad)…

In this episode, HIP V. HYPE's Founder Liam Wallis joins Dr Pippa Soccio, Senior Research Scientist – Building Monitoring, CSIRO; Dr Christopher Jensen, Lecturer in Architecture, Building and Planning, Melbourne School of Design and Merrick Morley, PhD Candidate, Melbourne School of Design.

Join us for a live recording to explore how integrating post-occupancy research can optimise building performance, enhance occupant experience and improve the longevity and resilience of our buildings.
