powerful force in city architecture... the developer. Ian Moore: In the majority of the apartment buildings we?re now working on we?ve taken the principles that we?ve been applying for years in our houses and saying to the developers "you don?t need to air condition any building in Australia if it?s designed properly". And it also goes back to the first apartment building that I did ten years ago in New Guinea. And that?s obviously a building on the equator, very very hot, but a beautiful climate really, and there?s lovely sea breezes that come off the harbour. And in that building I said to the client "there?s absolutely no requirement for us to air condition this building" and there?s certainly no requirement to air condition buildings in Sydney. And in the New Guinea building we proved that just by having a big wall facing the harbour that opened up and allowed the sea breeze to roll in and the whole back of the apartments to be louvred so that you could draw that breeze through. That there was no requirement for air conditioning, and there was a reluctance on the part of people to actually move into those apartments because they couldn?t find the air conditioner on the wall. But once a couple of people actually moved in and said well this is fantastic you know we don?t need air conditioning and the breeze is great and you feel more in touch with the outside environment, you?re not locked in
