Sustainability, Design and Sentencing - Brisbane Supreme and District Courts
The first FUTURE DIRECTIONS: young people in property event for 2008 attracted over 180 young property professionals last Thursday evening, at the Rugby Club Downtown.

Dr John Hockings, Design Director for Architectus, delivered a detailed presentation about Architectus' vision for the new Supreme and District Courts Complex - to be built in a very non-traditional sense.

Architectus' vision is to create a court house which does not enclose its occupants, but lets the outside environment penetrate the court rooms through a sophisticated external wall system of glass and operable sun shading. The building complex will also be open to the public with expansive parks and landscapes which will complete the George Street Government row.

The Future Directions Committee would like to thank John, for presenting his dream to transform what has been a derelict triangular lot for the past few decades, into a sustainable judicial hub for Brisbane.

Congratulations to Jeremy Tasker from Bovis Lend Lease, winner of a bottle of Nicholas Feuillatte French Champagne.

The committee looks forward to seeing all young property members at our next networking event on the 10th April.


The Property Council of Australia thanks Consolidated Properties for its sponsorship of the Future Directions event series.
