| Nathan Hage on transforming Zinc Apartment | 10 juil. 2025 | 00:46:28 | |
Nathan Hage is neither a developer nor an energy expert, nor anything else you might think would be crucial to retrofitting a group of 45 flats in Sydney’s inner south with solar and EV charging. He works in logistics, but the one qualifier that he firmly holds is that he’s a resident of the Zinc Apartments, and perhaps through his enthusiasm, the job fell to him to manage this ambitious project.

| Jess Miller on doing things differently | 01 mai 2024 | 01:02:18 | |
Jess Miller is well known to readers of The Fifth Estate - she’s been a brilliant and highly entertaining MC for several of our events now. Starting with our Urban Greening summits at the University of Technology Sydney in the past few years. But of course Jess has a much wider audience than ours. At a very young age, she became a councillor and then deputy mayor of The City of Sydney and then became a prime initiator in a green or living infrastructure movement called Greener Spaces Better Places program where she worked with another bright spark, Ben Peacock of the Republic of Everyone. These days, Jess is working with another ignitor of great ideas, Ross Harding of Finding Infinity, who, quite like Jess, enjoys breaking down conventional barriers alongside conventional wisdom to change the world to another level of sustainability.

| Mathew Nelson: What motivates investors to save the planet? | 20 oct. 2022 | 01:01:38 | |
On this latest episode of How to Build a Better World, our managing editor Tina Perinotto talks to Mathew Nelson – the first Oceania chief sustainability officer at EY – about what’s getting big Fortune 500 companies ticking on the climate question. For someone at the big end of town, leading the sustainability team at a company that’s 300,000 strong globally, he’s remarkably down to earth and happy to share practical insights into the big questions around our transition to low or zero carbon and what’s getting in the way. Clients are larger businesses – ASX200 listed, NZ 50 listed or globally, fortune 500s – all big household names like BHP, Santos, Origin Energy, Mirvac, Stockland, and CSL. That larger reach – coupled with the fact he’s been at the company for 20 years – means he’s able to see the broader trends in the ESG and climate space. Host: Tina Perinotto | |||
| Paul King: Future buildings, and the intersection between imagination and practical iteration | 12 oct. 2022 | 00:57:54 | |
NEW PODCAST: On this latest episode of How to Build a Better World, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with Paul King from Bentley about how new technology like building information models (BIMs) and digital twins can help designers and engineers make better choices about building design and maintenance. It’s an exciting world that is starting to look a bit like the sci-fi image we read about in stories about gaming or fiction. A parallel universe in cyberspace that we can – hopefully – step in and out of at will. That’s pretty much what these brainy people in the digital world are getting at. All in the name of generating and managing digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of buildings. Because quite frankly, once a building is built, it’s too late to do much to change its essential structure and much of its inbuilt services. As the solution director of construction at infrastructure engineering software company Bentley Systems, Paul King leads the global construction solutions engineering teams; he implements the business strategy for the company’s software portfolio, supports the project delivery organisations with their digital transformation, and helps them to create tailored strategies focused on business value and integrating them into everyday operations.

| Alan Pears: The “big challenge ahead of us” in sustainability and energy efficiency | 23 sept. 2022 | 01:18:45 | |
In our latest podcast, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with Alan Pears about how he got started in the sustainability and energy efficiency space, and the “big challenge ahead of us”. While a lot has changed since then, Alan’s recollections on this podcast of the journey, the political setbacks, the successes, plus the challenges still in front of us are a clear demonstration of why he continues to hold that special place in the sustainability sector's heart. And he told The Fifth Estate that while the environmental movement has undoubtedly made leaps and bounds since its inception, much more needs to be done in the next few years. Host: Tina Perinotto | |||
| Ainsley Simpson: The unexpected optimism of green infrastructure | 03 août 2022 | 01:13:39 | |

| Dan Hill: why we need to flip the thinking, and his new role at Melbourne University’s School of Design | 23 juin 2022 | 01:18:38 | |
In our latest podcast, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with Dan Hill all about his new role at Melbourne University’s School of Design. Dan Hill’s got a bit of a fan club in Australia. So there was no surprise that the announcement in April that he was to be director was well received. (No pressure, Dan.) It’s a job that’s lured him back to Oz after more than 10 years away, during which his City of Sound blog kept tabs on his projects in Scandinavia, the UK and Italy. Most recently he worked at Stockholm University in Sweden, where he held the position of Director of Strategic Design for the Swedish Government’s innovation and research agency, Vinnova. There was also the “influential” book Dark Matter & Trojan Horses: A Strategic Design Vocabulary, as the university noted in its announcement of the appointment. Dean of the school, professor Julie Willis told me at his appointment that what was particularly interesting was Dan’s blend of skills from urban infrastructure to technology that she thinks students would crucially need by the time they graduated.

| Dr Tyson Yunkaporta: How Indigenous thinking can save the world | 09 juin 2022 | 01:21:11 | |
On our latest podcast, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with Dr Tyson Yunkaporta about his recent book, Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World. “This economic system came from a 10,000 year old experiment of separating from the mother. They invented the word for nature in order to separate themselves: separate the human from nature – separate from the mother. Once you do that, you are then free to displace your matriarchs, you are then free to displace the centre of your community – which is the mother and the child – and all relationships in human communities.” Host: Tina Perinotto | |||
| Beck Dawson: What’s keeping Sydney’s chief resilience officer up at night | 02 juin 2022 | 00:44:36 | |

| Dr Paul Bannister: What’s next for energy efficient office buildings | 26 mai 2022 | 01:13:15 | |
On our latest podcast, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with energy efficiency expert Dr Paul Bannister. Last year, the physicist was awarded the James Harrison Medal, which is the highest honour bestowed by AIRAH, Australia’s body for the HVAC industry. Few people know more about energy efficient buildings than Dr Paul Bannister, who was one of the original architects behind the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS). Paul headed up his company Exergy for more than 15 years before it was absorbed into Energy Action. He is now director of innovation at Australian energy management consultancy DeltaQ. He’s now working on the next update to Section J, the sustainability component of the National Construction Code. Host: Tina Perinotto | |||
| Rob Adams: Challenging the status quo on urban planning | 10 sept. 2020 | 00:56:47 | |
On our latest podcast, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with urban planner Rob Adams. Rob became Australia’s urban planning poster child when he launched an audacious goal to transform Melbourne’s CBD as director of planning at the City of Melbourne. In those days, the city was suffering from a prolonged recession. The city streets were abandoned, especially at night and on the weekends. People had not yet discovered that CBDs could be vibrant and active. So Rob started a program called Postcode three thousand. Part of the transformation involved refurbishing office buildings into apartments. As a result, the city’s population blossomed. Suddenly, living in the CBD was cool, not a sad, windy endurance test when the city workers departed for their homes. But that’s not all Rob is well known for. He’s recently launched a plan about concentrating development along the city’s transport routes, designed to leave the rest of suburban sites alone. This helps to “calm” residents so that they aren’t so fearful of development. Host: Tina Perinotto | |||
| Amy Marks, the “queen of prefab”: Why building and construction is not an industry, it’s an ecosystem | 31 août 2020 | 00:48:53 | |
In this episode, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with Amy Marks from Autodesk, the “queen of prefab”, on why building and construction is not an industry but an ecosystem. If the world’s buildings and cities are set to triple their footprint, as forecasters predict, sustainability will be a mighty challenge. Firstly, where are we sourcing our diminishing natural materials from? And can we still build and construct the way we’ve done traditionally? Amy Marks is head of Industrialised Construction Strategy and Evangelism at the global technology company Autodesk. She says so much needs to change. Her job is to transform building and construction so that it’s way more efficient and sustainable. This would have multiple dividends for businesses and the planet, she says. Amy is one of those brilliant American outperformers that rightfully stand out on the global stage. She’s educated at Harvard, she’s a successful entrepreneur, a great thinker and a great speaker. Thankfully, for the building and construction industry, she’s made her voice one to be reckoned with. She means by influential clients such as large corporates or governments who can demand new outcomes through different methodologies. Amy is focused on the value and efficiency of digitalisation and prefabrication. These are the ways that we can start to be conserve and repurpose our dwindling natural resources. In construction, a wastage rate of 30 per cent is common. New technologies can go a long way to solving that problem. And they can also help the sector integrate new building materials that are more sustainable and efficient. Amy has construction in the blood. Her family owned a construction management company in New York and she grew up on construction sites. So it’s no surprise she is such a fascinating person to talk to about this sector.

| Tim Hollo: Why democracy is crumbling and how to fix it | 21 juil. 2020 | 00:58:20 | |
On the podcast this week, Tina Perinotto, the managing editor of The Fifth Estate, was joined by Tim Hollo, the executive director of the Green Institute. Tim’s background is fascinating. He was a political advisor to Christine Milne during the highly volatile Gillard-Rudd years, which arguably had the biggest impact on the climate agenda in Australia. He’s also had a background in environmental activism, with many insights gained from his training in law, and the intriguing field of political theatre, where he learnt about some of our most deeply ingrained human traits. Among those is that when it comes to politics, we humans activate the most primitive parts of our brains – the part that works on our fight or flight responses. Now that goes a long way to explain the choices we make at the polling booths. Tim has also spent a lot of time thinking about democracy and why it’s crumbling: he says the deliberate obfuscation of reality in pursuit of self-interest can be truly frightening, but there are remedies. He’s a great believer in the power of trust and close communication with the people closest to us – our community. He has deep respect for the notion of political ecology, which challenges the dominant political theory over the last 100 years, which sees humans as separate from the natural world and each other. Although Darwinism has led us to believe that competition is the key to a species’ success, cooperation has been proven to be just as powerful. Host: Tina Perinotto | |||
| Esther Bailey: The quiet achievement of public service | 02 juil. 2020 | 00:49:44 | |
Some people have a knack for driving change, and Esther Bailey is one of them. Joining our managing editor Tina Perinotto on The Fifth Estate's podcast this week, Esther talked about what she’d been up to at NABERS, the government’s environmental rating program for buildings. NABERS has transformed the office sector and is now overhauling other energy intensive sectors, with hospitals one such quiet achiever. Host: Tina Perinotto | |||
| Mayor of Fremantle Dr Brad Pettitt: The local community driving progress | 11 juin 2020 | 00:46:42 | |
In this episode, the managing editor of The Fifth Estate Tina Perinotto talks to Dr Brad Pettitt, the longstanding Mayor of Fremantle. The Freo community has been receptive to Brad’s big, bold visions for a thriving, sustainable community, in fact, he says the locals actually push the council to do better. But the portside city has had its ups and downs, and it’s already feeling the bite of climate change – it's seeing days and days of 40-plus degrees, and record-low rainfalls. Host: Tina Perinotto | |||
| Peter Newman: Where we're winning the climate war | 02 juin 2020 | 00:45:04 | |

| Caroline Pidcock: Architects as climate activists | 12 mai 2020 | 00:49:18 | |
In this episode, managing editor of The Fifth Estate, Tina Perinotto, speaks to Caroline Pidcock, an award-winning Australian architect and advocate for sustainable design. Caroline has been pouring much of her energy into the Australian branch of Architects Declare as the group’s spokesperson, which involves working out how architects should respond to the climate and biodiversity emergencies. As lateral, creative thinkers with their feet firmly grounded in the physical world, Caroline says architects have a key role to play in creating human settlements that work with nature rather than against it. Host: Tina Perinotto | |||
