Wide ranging media coverage and talks
We have enjoyed wide ranging media coverage this year and
Caroline continues to deliver talks on the work of the practice and
her research. This has included:
Radio
At the beginning of February 2011, Richard Glover asked Caroline
in to his afternoon show during the heat wave to talk about whether
houses can deliver comfort without air-conditioners (which of
course they can if they are well designed!), and options for
improving comfort in existing houses.
At the end of February 2011, Deborah Cameron, host of the
morning show, called Caroline to talk with her about an absurd plan
to build a 4 storey house in a laneway in Darlinghurst.
