Trivess Moore is an Associate Professor in the School of Property, Construction and Project Management at RMIT. He is also Associate Director of the Sustainable Building Innovation Laboratory and co-chair of the Fuel Poverty Research Network.
Currently, he is working on several projects which are based upon monitoring and evaluating sustainable housing and compact cities more broadly. He has also co-authored: 'A Transition to Sustainable Housing'.
Moore explains how to unlock barriers to cost-effective carbon reduction opportunities in our dwellings, and how we can empower the design community as well as authorities to facilitate the widespread adoption of low carbon housing design to lower Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions targets while maintaining industry competitiveness and improving our quality of life.

In a coup for Talking Architecture & Design, we finally get to speak with the indefatigable Scotsman John McAslan and well-known local architect Troy Uleman from JMP about a wide range of subjects including the Central Station rebuild, the changing work culture in architectural firms and why architects must have a specific procedure when they work. Fresh from Glasgow, McAslan, the 2009 World Architect of the Year shares his insights into what design could and should be and how he intends to apply his unique experiences and ideas to the redesign of Australia's oldest and largest urban railway precinct.
