SUMMARY:BDQ Local Branch Event in Mackay
DESCRIPTION:Mackay Branch Meeting\nBDQ’s Mackay Branch invites members to join us for our upcoming branch meeting\, featuring a presentation from Stratco. \nCindy Lee\, Architectural and Specifications Representative at Stratco\, will present Designing with Form\, Light and Shadow: Elevating Architectural Expression with Stratco Architectural Solutions. The session looks at how a considered approach to profiles\, surface articulation and finishes can turn an ordinary facade into a surface that shifts with the light. It stays grounded in practical detailing and the conditions designers work with across Queensland. \nWhat members can expect to learn: \n\nHow profile selection and surface articulation shape the way light and shadow fall across a building\nFinish strategies that add depth and character to external surfaces\nPractical detailing tips suited to Queensland’s climate and conditions\nOpportunities to collaborate with Stratco\, plus resources to help you design with confidence\n\nCindy will bring physical samples of Stratco profiles and finishes so members can see and handle them up close. Every attendee will also receive a Stratco Style Guide to take home as a handy reference after the session. \nREGISTER HERE \nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84936984865?pwd=KaoCbsO0MQZe9GUezWBB0tU4z3Hi47.1
