Australian architectural firm Billard Leece Partnership (BLP) has completed the Wattle Building at The Children's Hospital at Westmead in Sydney. The 57,000-square-metre facility features a custom modular aluminium and terracotta façade, aluminium battens, high-performance glazing and energy-efficient building systems. The project combines sustainable aluminium architecture with child-friendly, biophilic design to create a modern healthcare environment focused on wellbeing and family-centred care.

Higher copper prices are accelerating the adoption of aluminum wiring across the automotive industry. Ferrari, BMW, Stellantis, Tesla, XPeng, Xiaomi and AVATR have expanded the use of aluminum conductors in selected vehicle models to reduce costs and vehicle weight. Aluminum costs about one-quarter as much as copper and weighs only around one-third as much, making it increasingly attractive for EVs. JPMorgan expects aluminum to replace about 6% of global copper demand by 2030 as material substitution accelerates.

Vitol has successfully transported about 35,000 tones of Emirates Global Aluminum (EGA) metal through the Strait of Hormuz, marking one of the first aluminum cargoes to leave the Gulf after recent conflict disruptions. The shipment, valued at around USD 110 million, signals a gradual recovery in Middle East aluminum exports and may help ease global supply tightness. However, shipping risks remain, and the pace of export recovery will continue to influence aluminum prices in the coming weeks.
