From the desks we work at to the places we retreat to at the end of the day, the spaces around us quietly shape how we feel, live, and connect with each other. Good design isn't just about looks – it's about comfort, dignity, possibility, and the way a space can hold us, support us, even change us.
At a time when so many Australians are struggling to find four walls to call home, what can design teach us about building homes and communities that truly meet people's needs? This question was explored by design commentators Kevin McCloud and Tim Ross in a recent discussion on ABC listen.
The conversation delved into the role of design in addressing the housing crisis, emphasizing that thoughtful design can foster better living conditions and stronger communities. McCloud and Ross argued that focusing on quality design could lead to more affordable and sustainable housing solutions.
