In this episode, we meet Louise Cox AO.
Louise Cox's fiercely pragmatic approach to shaping the world was evident early, with independence and curiosity a hallmark of her young years growing up in Killara. Instead of following generations into the family business, Louise studied architecture at the University of Sydney before working with established practices like Peddle Thorp and McConnell Smith and Johnson at a time when entrenched male prejudice was part of the culture of building sites. But as Louise says: "Don't challenge me - I'll take the challenge".
In addition to leading large, complex, high profile projects like Sydney Hospital and the State and Commonwealth Law Courts (Queens Square, Sydney), Louise is renowned the national and international roles in leadership of bodies including the Australian Institute of Architects, Union of International Architects (UIA), UN Habitat and more - with recognition from the French government in 2011 with the award of the insignia of Knight in the Order of Arts, and in 2014 by the Australian government with the award of the Officer of the Order of Australia.
