DesignEX Expolores The Structural Design Market
March is certainly hotting up as we finalise preparations for designEX's return to Sydney for the inaugural show at the Sydney Exhibition Centre, Glebe Island. In this edition we take a look at some of the issues impacting the industry with a focus on the structural design market: regulatory reform improving access for people with visual and hearing disabilities; technology contemporising sandstone applications beyond those of restoration and heritage; and ground-breaking R&D producing new surface finishes and lighting solutions.

With a history spanning nearly a century, Gosford Quarries have supplied sandstone for many of these defining landmarks and today their stonemasons and technicians combine traditional skills with modern technology to ensure sandstone continues to be an important part of the national architectural story.

Signing The Way In Disability Access
The building and construction industry has undergone significant regulatory reform over the last twenty years, but as the latest of these comes into effect, those involved in the design of commercial buildings have had to pay far closer attention to the needs of the visually and hearing impaired.
