Sydney Build Expo is Australia’s largest construction and infrastructure conference, gathering industry leaders, innovators and built environment professionals for two days of conversation, debate and ideas. This year, four members of our team take to the stage across panels that span design psychology, mixed-use urbanism, public space and the future of construction technology.  

Harnessing Emotion in Design: The Psychology Behind Our Spaces
Tuesday 29 April, 11.00–11.50am 

Great design is felt before it’s understood. Principal Mark Ojascastro joins this panel to explore the emotional intelligence behind the spaces we create, and why understanding how people respond to their environment is central to doing the work well.  

Work, Live, and Play: The Rise of Flexible Mixed-Use Spaces
Tuesday 29 April, 12.00–12.50pm 

Cities are asking more of their buildings than ever before. Principal John Walsh brings his global experience across five continents to a conversation about how mixed-use thinking is evolving, and what it takes to design urban models that genuinely adapt to the people living inside them.  

How Can We Revitalise Public Spaces to Build Social Value in Cities?
Tuesday 29 April, 2.00–2.50pm 

Public space is where cities make their case. Associate Hong-Thanh Nguyen joins this panel to discuss how thoughtful design can strengthen community, create belonging, and deliver outcomes that go beyond the brief.  

Utilising Technology in MMC to Build Smarter
Wednesday 30 April, 3.00–3.50pm 

Modern methods of construction are changing what’s possible. Director Ian Briggs joins industry leaders to explore how technology is being integrated into the way we build, and where architecture sits in that conversation.
