To mark #PrideMonth globally, each week this June we’re sharing inspiring stories from talented individuals across our studios. Today, we introduce Principal Matthew Blain from our London headquarters. “It’s immensely important that we create an environment and culture of inclusivity where everyone feels safe to express who they choose to be — and that their input is not only meaningful but valued,” says Matthew. Thank you to our #LGBTQIA+ community and allies who share their journeys. 🔗 Read Matthew’s story and those of his colleagues at the link in our bio. #DiversityMatters #Inclusion #PrideMonth #Equality #LGBTQIA

Our master plan for Porto Vecchio (the Old Port) is set to put Trieste back on the map – as a liveable waterfront city, mercantile hub, and cultural destination. Once a maritime superpower, this Northern Italian city faded into an almost forgotten port as 20th century commerce bustled along alternative shipping and air routes. Yet, Europe’s gateway to the East has it all – the Old Port, a historic centre, sweeping boulevards, grand canals and beach resorts ripe for renewal. Now, a sustainable and culturally sensitive development agenda is in place to build on the @ComuneDiTrieste’s ‘collective memory’ and capitalise on its opportune Adriatic location. “It's a master plan that allows for incremental place-making – an ‘Unfolding Story’ – as the city re-establishes itself within the modern world,” says Principal Ashley Munday (@aam_london). 🔗 See what else is happening in our London studio via the link in our bio. #Italy #PlacesPeopleLove #CityShaping #CulturalHeritage #RadicalReuse #SustainableDevelopment

It’s the final week to catch the design preview of our Bidi Bidi Music & Arts Centre at the @londondesignbiennale at @somersethouse.

Bidi Bidi Music & Arts Centre is an interdisciplinary project with @to_creativeactivists, @arupgroup, @localworksug and @thelandscapestudio that aims to empower creativity in displaced communities. Currently under construction, it will provide a space for creative expression, training, and performance in Africa’s biggest refugee settlement. The structure uses low-cost, low-carbon, local building materials, and the walls of the building consist of compressed stabilised earth brick made from soil excavated from the site. 🔗 Visit the link in bio to book your #LDB2023 ticket and visit our Bidi Bidi pavilion in room two. #WorldRefugeeDay #LondonDesignBiennale #Uganda #ArtsAndCulture #EarthArchitecture #ArchitectureDesign

Our Design Wall 2023 — a collaborative exhibition design between @ngvmelbourne and Hassell — is created to be disassembled and to limit waste. Ply is left raw, fixings are mechanical and the wall is sized to a standard scaffold system. Cables, connections, fixings and ply sheet edges are all consciously exposed. Upon exhibition completion, the products on display will either be re-homed or donated, redistributed or taken back to the manufacturer for on-sell. Admission is free, so come check it out at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, Fed Square on Level 3. 🔗 Link in bio to learn more 📷 @earlcarterstudio #MelbourneDesign #NGV #Hassell #DesignWall #MelbourneNow #InnovativeDesign Participating artists: @simoneleamon @adamcornishdesign @nylexwatering @branach_aus @cobaltdesign_australia @edwardlinacre @fungisolutions @geckotraxx @globebrand_skateboards @great_wrap @july @active_mask @katapult.design @outerspace_design @matonguitars @oneplanetoutdoor @robertgordonpottery @savicmotorcycles @sbwaustralia @lockwoodlocks @sussextaps @tontine_australia

Melbourne Metro's Town Hall Station – and City Square – to open earlier than anticipated. Construction crews are working apace on the Town Hall Station underground concourse beneath City Square, which is now set to open to passengers in 2025 – a year ahead of schedule. As part of the Metro Tunnel Project, Town Hall Station is one of five new stations being designed and delivered by Hassell, @westonwilliamson and @rshparchitects, through the CYP Design and Construction Joint Venture. State-of-the-art Town Hall Station will be a new gateway to some of Melbourne’s most popular destinations, including Federation Square and Southbank, and features extraordinary cathedral-like arched ceilings as well as some of the widest – most accessible – platforms in the world. The concourse will be directly beneath Melbourne’s City Square, which will be returned to the public as an open space for relaxation, gatherings and events, amidst city landmarks such as St Paul’s Cathedral and Melbourne Town Hall. Native trees and planting will embrace the square, creating an urban oasis amidst bustling CBD streets. “City Square will once again become an activated and lively public space, a key destination and meeting place as well as a beautiful new arrival experience amongst the fabric of Melbourne for residents and visitors alike,” said Hassell Principal, Mark Loughnan. 🔗 Find out more at the link in our bio. #PlacesPeopleLove #Rail #Transport #MetroTunnel #PublicRealm #UrbanInfrastructure
