For many BlackWhite readers, innovation and creativity have always been at the heart of their professional disciplines. But as time marches on, technology continues to advance and new obstacles arise, we’re discovering that our built environment must adapt in ways we never could have expected. In today’s world, design is no longer confined to aesthetics and function alone – it needs to have a lasting impact on how our clients live, work and interact with their surroundings. And now, there is increasing demand for our projects to respond to complex problems such as urban density, heat islands and environmental sustainability.
In the face of these hurdles, creativity and innovation have perhaps become more important than ever. In the hands of architects, designers, builders and tradespeople, these intangible tools have the power to challenge conventions and spark new ways of engaging with our world. Between projects submitted to the annual Resene Total Colour Awards and those shared with us by email and on social media, the ingenuity we consistently see from our readers is second to none. Whether it’s combining beloved Resene colours or products in a clever way or employing newly discovered favourites in the face of fresh challenges, our team delights in watching you create spaces that are not only beautiful but also resilient, adaptable and sustainable for future generations. By pushing the limits of traditional practices, you are helping define the next era of architecture, building, design and decorating.
As the design landscape continues to shift, Resene and BlackWhite remain proud partners to those reimagining our built forms, integrating sustainable materials and pushing the limits of what is possible. Not only do we relish in celebrating your achievements and sharing inspiring ideas, we strive to further your professional development about paints, stains and colours and the role Resene can play in your boundary-pushing projects.
Happy reading!
