Kirsty Mate - Sustainability and consumerism

In this episode, Daniel Moore speaks with architecture academic and sustainability specialist, Dr Kirsty Mate. While Kirsty is not a registered architect, she has been working within architecture for decades with a specialised lens on sustainability. Kirsty recently completed her PhD at the University of Tasmania titled “The Changing Paradigms of Contemporary Consumerism: Sustainability, adaptation and spatial tactics for shopping scapes”. She understands acutely what impact consumerism culture has on the environment and this led her to open her own shop in Launceston called the Redress Shop. This is Hearing Architecture proudly sponsored by Brickworks. Thank you so much for listening and thank you so much to our guest academic Kirsty Mate who is not a registered architect.
