The Business of Architecture*

ACA NSW/ACT and RAIA NSW have issued a joint statement, expressing concern about the proposed closure of the CSIRO’s North Ryde facility, where much of Australia’s fire-resistance and reaction-to-fire testing occurs.

The ACA responds to the recent Cladding Safety Victoria report on Compliance in Building Design. While acknowledging the seriousness of the issue, the ACA emphasises that architects have been disproportionately blamed for a problem that stems from complex, systemic failures across the entire construction industry. Consumers deserve a better system!
