"We are more scribe than author" – director Jesse Judd on ARM's process that puts Indigenous agency and authorship first. The task, he says, is one of synthesis. "It's our job to come up with a cohesive story that binds all of the views – there can be many – together." Right after it won the world's top Higher Education & Research prize at the 2025 World Architecture Festival, Jesse's presentation of Munarra Centre for Regional Excellence led the case study presentations at this month's The Architecture Symposium: Indigenising our built environment. Jesse names five keys to increasing indigeneity in architecture: 1. Keep turning up to conversations (ARM turned up 70 times) 2. Have confidence in the community's wisdom and the process of engagement 3. Be committed to self determination; strategy and direction will come from community BUT: 4. Never come empty handed. Come with provocations. With humility. And be ready for differences of opinion. And, on hitting milestones: 5. Check that we're right to walk through it, together. ARM is literate in these lessons. We're also literate in getting an outcome, together. It takes generosity, and you can't dilly dally. Design Speaks

ARM Architecture is proudly Principal Design Consultant for this game-changing sporting complex in Waurn Ponds.

He works best where trust paves opportunity for conversation in fun and rewarding ways. And now, he's a Fellow of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, in honour of outstanding contributions to the profession beyond architectural practice. We couldn't be gladder for him. Mark's contribution to cultural discussion and advancing architectural practice is provocative, generous, and essential. Essential, yes - especially to all of us at ARM, and all the beneficiaries of his professional engagement: the RMIT Architecture Industry Advisory Committee, Government Architect NSW Design Excellence juries, volunteering on the Sydney Diocese Anglican Design Panel, AIA juries and the NSW Editorial Committee, design research and teaching at RMIT University and the University of Technology Sydney, and regular contributions to journals and forums in Australia and abroad.

As Queensland prepares for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the discussion around legacy – what remains after the Games – is gaining fresh currency. With the complexities of delivering multiple projects simultaneously, each with varying procurement methods, overlay requirements, and immovable budgets, the question remains: how can we ensure that legacy is not watered down?

As Queensland gears up for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the conversation around legacy—what endures beyond the event—is more important than ever. Delivering multiple projects simultaneously, each with unique procurement pathways, overlay requirements, and fixed budgets, presents immense complexity. But it also offers an unparalleled opportunity. At ARM Architecture, legacy isn’t something left behind, it’s something we build forward. It’s our invitation to ask: what’s possible next? Read our latest article exploring how we can create a lasting, future-focused legacy for Brisbane 2032 and beyond.

Perth’s brand new inner-city primary school is another step closer - with a builder now locked in to get construction underway. The builder will begin working with the project's architects to finalise the design - from choosing materials to construction methods - before moving into early works and site preparation. The four-storey school will open in 2029, with capacity for up to 600 students - giving more choice to the growing number of inner-city families and easing pressure on nearby schools. Our kids deserve the best future, no matter where they live, and East Perth Primary School will support generations of WA families for years to come.
