Principal and director of Sydney-based architecture studio Furtado Sullivan Sandra Furtado talks about what it’s like working as an architect under a lockdown situation with an economy that’s in hibernation and an industry desperately trying to keep going under the most unusual and trying of socio-economic conditions.
Furtado gives us an insight into how things are at present and where they may well end up when the situation eventually starts to change back to what we would consider as being much more normal.
