Prepare to be enlightened on the trailblazing advancements in Mass Timber Construction that are set to reshape our urban landscapes sustainably. We kick off this episode with a celebration of UTS Sydney's Associate Professor Feeney's grant victory, pioneering adhesive-free cross laminated timber—a move that could catalyze a green revolution in our buildings. Moving north, the Canadian Wood Council's fire compartment tests showcase mass timber's resilience, a testament to its reliability in the most extreme scenarios. Venture further into our discussion, and you'll discover the strategic moves shaping the future of mass timber globally. Australia's commitment to expanding forestry plantations is a bold step towards meeting the softwood log production demand by 2050. We also spotlight Oricon's generous backing of the University of Queensland's Industry Transformation Research Hub, set to foster innovations for a low carbon and circular economy. And we can't forget the HushLucker Group's strategic tie-up with Element 5, heralding a new dawn for North American cross laminated timber and glulam structures. Wrap up with us as we explore Andrew Ball's innovative project at 960 Howard Street in San Francisco, embodying the potential of mass timber to revolutionize urban development.Support the show

Tom Duncan, Head of Research and Investment Strategy for Cromwell Property Group joins Bold Founder Caleb Parker for the seventh episode of Season 6 to discuss Tom's recent publication in Insight Magazine, titled ‘Office 2025: The Next Evolutionary Cycle'. The two discuss how office demand is changing, thus creating a gap between supply & demand, and an abundance of misaligned stock, and what this means for commercial real estate investors. Tom shares how this moment in the market can seem scary, but that office evolution is nothing new, and we're now entering the age of Space-as-a-Service.  Caleb gives a shout out to Samantha McClary for her article on Bold in EG.

Timestamps [05:00] Tom gives a brief overview of Cromwell and the portfolio. Cromwell Property Group is an international investment manager with $8bn of assets split 50/50 between Europe and APAC. [06:00] What is the background on the research that led to the outcomes in the article ‘Office 2025: The Next Evolutionary Cycle'? The feature of the office was subject to such fierce debate in the industry and in the media more generally, they felt much of that debate was misinformed and subject to overly negative sentiment. Survey data shows that there are benefits for both employee and employer to utilising the office as a working environment.  Working patterns will change to accommodate office and home working, and where people end up working will be based on the tasks they need to complete.  There will be more incentivisation to get people back into the office. [11:00] Can you provide some context on the gap between supply and demand and where does Space-as-a-Service fit in? Employees and building occupiers now hold the power. Landlords should be viewing themselves as service providers to their customers, the occupiers, and this should lead to a physical evolution of the type of space that's provided.  [16:20] Your article quotes “[investors in real estate should] act with conviction to dispose of misalign stock and acquire product, which is, or can be aligned to future occupier demand”. Do Real Estate Investors not usually act with conviction? Real estate can be guilty of ‘herd mentality', meaning they follow the same patterns.  Acting with conviction might mean going against the grain or put themselves in an uncomfortable position based on the narrative at the time.  [18:40] What's your view on building from the ground up versus buying and repurpose? Much of the existing stock will need to be repositioned to make sure that it aligns with what occupiers of today want and occupies as tomorrow as well. Environmental factors mean it will be increasingly difficult to create new buildings from scratch, so repurposing an existing building will be much more environmentally friendly.  [23:30] How does Cromwell look at rolling out Space-as-a-Service across the portfolio? A tailored approach depending on offices, locations and market need.    [24:50] Quickfire round questions. Tom's go to for workplace insight are Antony Slumbers, Dror Poleg, The Economist Magazine and Podcast Tom would like to use a magic wand to see us valuing environmental factors far more highly in real estate. Tom's favourite holiday destination is Brisbane, Australia.  Sponsors Headline Sponsor: TSK TSK creates inspiring workplaces for some of the world's biggest brands across the UK and Ireland, They've been working for 25 years to deliver the best employee experiences and the vision of their clients.

SCIENTISTS AND JOURNALISTSWHAT'S IT LIKE WHEN YOU'RE EXPOSED TO TOO MUCH CLIMATE CHANGE AND NOT ENOUGH ACTION?October 5th 2020.Production: Vivien Langford.Podcast : Andy BrittGuestsDr Joelle Gergis - Climate Scientist at ANU, Canberra. Author of Sunburnt Country and Witnesing the Unthinkable Prof. Johan Rockstrom - Earth Systems scientist at the Potscdam Institute for Climate Impact research, Berlin Nigel Topping - UK High level Climate Action Champion, London Marian Wilkinson - Esteemed journalist and author of The Carbon Club in conversation with Prof Bob Carr at the Institute for Sustainable futures, UTS Sydney Coral Wynter - Journalist , scientist and camp[aigner against Narrabri Gas project Music  Ode to Mother Earth by Aunty Ruby  recorded at a BZE event by Dominique Hes What is it like when your day job is "witnessing the unthinkable?"Joelle Gergis reads her article about the nightmare she has as a result of being exposed to the most horrifying tipping points in global heating. The Great Barrier Reef and its much attacked climate scientists comes to mind.Thanks to Mark Spencer at CLIMACTIC podcasts for his recording. Joelle's time as an IPCC author is so valuable I didn't want to bother her for an interview. Johan Rockstrom is an expert on Tipping Points.He says "we can no longer exclude crossing irreversible tipping points" at the  "We don't have time" global broadcast out of Sweden.He is energised by the Exponential Roadmap initiative, by serious commitments in the EU, China and potentially the USA(2021) as trillions are spent on an exponential leap in ambition and a low emissions COVID recovery.  Nigel Topping sees that we are already headed for ewxponential change as co alitions of businesses accelerate a zero carbon economy. Marian Wilkinson, during her time as a foreign correspondent in Washington amassed a pile of interviews with climate sceptics and others who she now calls The Carbon Club. She realised that they had to foster doubt around the climate science "to remove the moral imperative to act on climate change". She reveals how the carbon club mentored Australians who wanted to protect our carbon intensive economy from "so called climate alarmists", even though "these included the overwhelming majority of climate scientists" Coral Wynter briefly reports on the anguish of citizens who have been trying to protect the Great Artesian Basin water and productive farmlands of Northern NSW from a new gas project at Narrabri. It was breaking news as it had just received the green light from the "Independent" Planning Authority, despite over 90% of submissions from thousands of scientists, First Nations people and farmers who opposed  this climate wrecking project.

How are women represented in the media and what are the alternatives? Panellists Nayuka Gorrie, a Kurnai/Gunai, Gunditjmara, Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta woman who writes on Black politics, queerness and feminism; Brigid Delaney, journalist, author and features editor of Guardian Australia; Natalie Thomas, artist, writer and fierce advocate for the participation of woman in the arts; and Deb Verhoeven, associate dean of engagement and innovation at UTS (Sydney), came together at MPavilion on Saturday 3 February for a compelling discussion of women’s places within contemporary media. This discussion marked the launch of a symposia series on feminist analyses and strategies in relation to the media, writing, new forms of publishing and text as form, unfolding as part of the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art’s summer exhibition Unfinished Business: Perspectives on art and feminism. Surveying the diverse scope of feminist art practices, Unfinished Business focusses upon the dynamic formal invention and social engagement of feminist artists. Asking why feminism is still relevant, necessary and critical today, Unfinished Business explores trans-generational legacies, inheritances and shifts, alongside contemporary conditions and urgencies.
