Unfortunately, efforts to engage outside agents to get this activity going in 2015 and again in 2018 did not work out.

A new sub-committee has been formed in 2019 to address the areas of digital marketing, communications (eg eNewsletters and to increase our presence on social media) and to revamp the website.

Recent events of fire related to building claddings have a potential to damage the fabric architecture industry in Australia owing to recent changes to Regulations. The LSAA discussed this issue at its 2018 Conference and has formed a task force to examine this area. It is likely that some funding will be needed from Industry to supplement the start-up costs allocated from the LSAA cash reserves.

LSAA is pleased to announce that we will be conducting a two day conference, to be held in Melbourne, Victoria from Thursday 1 to Friday 2 September 2016.

The theme for this conference is ‘Design Beyond the Boundaries of Architects or Engineers'  incorporating a Design Awards competition with the presentation of the awards being included in the Conference Dinner.  

LSAA will be reflecting on the inspiration and contributions of Frei Otto who perhaps more than anyone did challenge the design boundaries of what is possible.
