A New Normal: Landscape, Water And Biodiversity

A New Normal returns with an epic five days of festivities at the Boyd Baker House, Long Forest. This unique experience brings together leading architects and creative practitioners from across Australia to showcase a range of projects in motion to help transform our cities. This program of talented industry leaders is showcased through a series of guided tours, talks, lunches and exhibitions with limited tickets available each day.

Day 2 of the A New Normal program focuses on naturally enhancing the liveability (for human and non-human-life) and comfort of our cities through cultivating landscape, enhancing biodiversity and adopting water treatment to provide an unlimited supply for the future. Through expert talks, real-world case studies and interactive exhibits, this day showcases how architects, urban designers, and First Nations practices are working together to ensure our ecosystems thrive.
