25.01.2022 The City of Hanoi, capital of Vietnam and blessed with 1000 years of continuous history and heritage, is coming of age in a new millennium as part of the global network of rich and integrated cities. Reflecting Vietnams continued growth and maturation in the global economy, Hanoi has an increasing need to host its artists and cultural pursuits, and celebrate in larger and more artistically inspiring locations than ever before. The new Hanoi Lotus complements investment by t...he City in the creation of a major new stormwater mitigation lake and utilises this infrastructural investment as the foundation for an iconic public place celebrating the Lotus, Vietnams National Flower. The new lake, park and Lotus create a meeting place for family and community, a high technology business incubator centre, a multifunctional theatre and performance space with 2000 seats to stage local and international performances, as well as a venue for thousands of people to come together. Its iconic nature will position Vietnam and Hanoi on the global stage. See more

22.01.2022 ABC News published an article on the current situation at Jabiru and the positive strides being made in ensuring its future as a tourism capital for the Kakadu National Park. The Mirarr, as the traditional owners of the land, have been working with Dylan Brady, and Decibel Architecture since 2001 on a proposal to reinvigorate and reimagine Jabiru. The township is situated within the heart of the only national park recognised by UNESCO for both its living Culture and Biodivers...ity, and is home to the worlds oldest living culture. dB(A)s masterplan will identify a township that will be pruned, grafted, and refined, and a vision for interaction will be developed that will transform this town into a true regional capital. @mirarrcountry #australia #northernterritory #jabiru #kakadu #mirarr #design #masterplan #archdaily #archilovers #australianarchitects #instaarch #architecturelovers #designboom #dezeen #architecture #architects

12.01.2022 As part of the Melbourne School of Design’s ongoing ‘Alumni Survey Series’, dB(A) conductor Dylan Brady was approached to put on a retrospective exhibition of his career so far in architecture. ‘Work: in Progress’ tells the story of Architecture as fundamentally journey driven. Perceived destinations like houses and skyscrapers are simply waystations, crescendos of madness and moments of stillness along the continuing path. The exhibition explores this journey through a series of sketches spanning two decades.

10.01.2022 We are super excited to announce that Decibel Architecture were recently chosen as the architects to design the new Broo Beer brewery located on a 15 hectare site in the regional hub of Ballarat. Central to the brief was to deliver a brewery that will strive to be both the greenest and cleanest in the world, utilising the worlds most advanced building technologies and environmentally sustainable processes. As a response to the brief, dB(A)s proposal makes extensive use of ...photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, a complex water treatment system and a roof that utilises cross-laminated timber (CLT). All these technologies will help the Broowery achieve its a position as one of the worlds greenest and cleanest breweries.

01.01.2022 Dylan was one of six Australian architects to share their personal stories and anecdotes in the current issue of ArchitectureAU about working on projects throughout Asia and the Middle East. One consistent element in these cultures, one trait that is eminently transferable and deeply effective, is that relationships must be built and maintained .
