The inaugural Dar Magazine issue of 2026 – A Shift in Perspective – is now available online! Bringing together contributions from Dar and sister Sidara companies Perkins&Will, TYLin, Introba, Penspen, CopperTree Analytics, and Currie&Brown Dar Magazine i30 showcases how critical shifts in perspective are in light of transformative trends in an ever-changing world.

In this issue, Sidara experts explore the shifts in perspective required to design mobility and healthcare for an ageing world, to reimagine urban planning in a world where static master plans quickly become outdated, to build resilience in a British Columbia grappling with heat waves after hundreds of years of preparing for cold weather, to create innovative and sustainable solutions for New York’s urban capacity crisis using what we already have, to prepare data centres that can handle the influx of energy required to power the AI revolution, to tackle uncertainty in the infamously volatile construction sector, and to reenvision what agriculture can be in a world fraught with climate change and food insecurity.

And with shifts in perspective, it becomes possible to introduce new technologies and new practices that deliver better outcomes. From facilitating the decarbonisation of mobility with TYLin’s Transportation Emissions Reduction Calculator and empowering engineers to design glass façade masterpieces with Maffeis’ groundbreaking GLASSS tool to closing the performance gap in buildings with CopperTree Analytics’ Kaizen Platform and elevating structural engineering at Dar with computational design and artificial intelligence, the issue showcases tools developed in-house by our Sidara teams. These innovations elevate the practice of design and engineering and to deliver greater value to our clients and the communities we serve.

Explore all of these topics and more in the full issue of Dar Magazine i30.
