Alastair Richardson - LSAA 2024 Keynote Speaker

Alastair is a Director of COX, and one of the pre-eminent sports architects in Asia Pacific. He is responsible for the design and delivery of global sporting projects that deliver a fan-first experience, providing enhanced revenue for owners and operators.


Alastair's Keynote Address on Day 1 is titled "CONTEXTUALISATION THROUGH STUCTURE AND DESIGN"

The use of innovative light weight structures has helped shape contextualisation of major stadia through out the world.  Alastair will explore the use of contextualisation and designing for place in the cathedrals of sport, from the use of the velum at the Roman Coliseum to the recently completed Allianz Stadium, roof’s have defined these buildings.  The speech will explore where next with the next generation of lightweight structures and how sustainability will drive the next typological evolution of the stadium roof.

As Professor of Urban Futures I lead Swinburne’s Sustainable Built Environment Initiative. Since January 1st 2023 I have been working across the university helping foster a unique dual sector vocational education and training (VET) and higher education collaboration: combining applied research with exemplary construction and manufacturing trade practice. Our current focus is the quest for novel solutions for assisting financially stretched remote and communities closer to home gain access more affordable dwellings and community buildings. The originality of our approach is bottom-up community participation focussing on local skills development. This role, along with directing iHUB, Swinburne’s urban research platform (lead for a national network) complements my former role as Founding Director of Swinburne University of Technology’s ‘Smart Cities Research Institute' from May 2017. 

I am a consulting architect and fellow of the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) published internationally on two main themes: putting theory into practice with regard to procuring ‘challenging’ architecture, pioneering digitalisation strategies for professional practice, and the life, work and theories of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí.

She is currently Dean’s Visiting Assistant Professor at Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Columbia University.

In 2009, she co-founded all(zone) in Bangkok where she is the design director. The studio is fascinated by ever-changing mega tropical metropolises that give form to their everyday life. Their observations are always captured by contemporary vernacular design solutions leading them to create built environments where all could feel ‘at home’ in the world.

In 2016 all(zone) completed MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum in Chiang Mai, the first contemporary art museum in Thailand and awarded as Best New Museum of Asia Pacific in 2017. Domus magazine selected all(zone) as one of 100+ Best Architecture Firm in 2019. Monocle magazine awarded a project of all(zone) as one of Top 50 Best Design Award 2021. all(zone) is commissioned to design MPavilion 2022 in Melbourne. Their international participations and exhibitions are including those at Guggenheim Museum, New York, Chicago Architecture Biennial 2015, Vitra Design Museum 2017 and Triennale di Milano 2018 and Echigo-Tsumori Triennale 2018 and Sharjah Architecture Triennial 2019, La Casa Encendida Madrid 2022, Thailand Biennale Chiang Rai 2023, and Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale, Riyadh 2024.

Her Keynote Address on Day 2 is titled "The Art of Living Lightly"

Synopsis: 

With minimum materials, how can we create a responsive environment to different climate conditions while allow people to enjoy, move and act naturally, even feel ‘at home’ in the space? The question has been fundamental to our practice at all(zone). The exploration began with almost as a conceptual model of architecture that reacts to the situation and socio-economic conditions and developed into more permanent structure. The fabric has been our major material experiment because of its lightness, fluidity and playfulness.
