As we move quickly through 2011, we thought we would update you
on the developments we are experiencing here at PIDCOCK.
In March 2011, the Insurance Council Australia, in conjunction
with the Australian Institute of Architects, called "upon the
community to develop and submit resilient housing design concepts
that incorporate inherent protection, through design and material
selection, for the building envelope and its contents, from flood,
hail, extreme rainfall, fire and windstorm."
We lodged two entries - one partnering with Bluescope Steel
exploring the design potential of many of its products, and one
demonstrating the attributes of the House of Parts (HOP) system we
have been developing. I am delighted to announce that the Bluescope
entry WON, while the HOP entry came third. As we believe resilience
and durability are important attributes of good sustainable design,
we are delighted.
We have lots of news regarding other research, projects, people
and media - we hope you enjoy catching up with it all!
