In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, Tim Napper, federal principal at HDR, joins host Liam Garman to unpack how the Australian Defence Force can unlock the best from its soldiers, sailors, and aviators through estate design.
- The pair begin by discussing how the Commonwealth needs to review how it thinks about infrastructure – and how human-centric estate design can improve the wellbeing, morale, and performance of its teams.
- Napper then touches on examples from the health and education sectors where data-driven design is used to improve recovery and learning.
- They wrap up the podcast examining how Defence can make design and build more efficient, which will ensure that more businesses stay in Defence industry.
