Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Care with Georgina Blix + Anthony Clarke — Part 1
Q: How do you approach understanding a client's lived experience and translate that into design decisions?
Both guests emphasize long relationships, reflective practice, and methods like routine mapping and participatory engagement to reveal needs that influence the design of housing, schools, and public spaces.
Care with Georgina Blix + Anthony Clarke — Part 1
Q: Can you tell us a bit about how you came to be working in this space and taking that focus to your work?
Georgina and Anthony describe a move from conventional practice into care-focused design, driven by personal experiences, early projects with families, and a commitment to wellbeing research, which informed their practice and led to new scholarly and professional directions.
Commercial with Eilish McNab + Brett Pollard — Part 2
Q: Eilish, what are the challenges that might block us from delivering better on building relationships, sharing power, and increasing stakeholder participation?
Time and money are recurring constraints, but with committed clients and project leaders backing social value, open two-way dialogue and capacity building can overcome these barriers; engagement should be valued as an ongoing investment rather than a post-completion add-on.
Commercial with Eilish McNab + Brett Pollard – Part 1
Q: What mechanisms can ensure social value is embedded early in projects, and how do rating tools fit in?
They discuss embedding value through early briefs, authentic stakeholder engagement, and the evolution from prescriptive tools to performance-based approaches like Green Star; tools can guide but must accommodate local context and avoid over-prescription.
Commercial with Eilish McNab + Brett Pollard – Part 1
Q: Could you each share how you got into focusing on social value in your work?
Eilish describes a long-standing interest in social infrastructure and a UK lineage of measurement since the Social Value Act, while Brett explains how his work evolved from sustainability frameworks and collaboration with the Green Building Council of Australia to define and study social value.
