TALKS PROGRAMME Wednesday 30 January 15:00 – Modern Methods Offsite construction and prefabrication are bringing about a revolution. A series of high-profile case studies will demonstrate how modern construction methods are changing design. Speakers include Hazel Rounding, shedKM; Dave Lomax, Waugh Thistleton; Kevin Gray, BeFirst; and Mark Rintoul, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. 16:15 – Sarah Wigglesworth in conversation Architect Sarah Wiggleworth has been championing sustainable design for decades and has created projects that foster social wellbeing, while retaining her environmental credentials. She will reveal the key projects that have shaped the practice and discuss upcoming work. 17:30 – Back to the future The truly sustainable approach for the city is one that renovates and reimagines rather than demolishing the old to build the new. The panel will look at a range of case studies, from homes to offices, galleries to exhibition centres. Speakers include Catarina Kohut, Jonathan Tuckey Design; Trevor Morris, SPPARC; Nicola Rutt, Hawkins\Brown; and industrial designer Alexander Lervik. Thursday 31 January 13:00 – Eco is not a dirty word Sustainability is integral to the future but few companies are creating truly innovative projects. The panel will explain the power of green design, with small boutique projects, mega structures and sustainable strategies for healthy city development. Speakers include Jerry Tate, Tate Harmer; Cany Ash, Ash Sakula; and Piers Taylor, Invisible Studio. 16:15 – Zero carbon cities The technology to make our cities carbon neutral exists but we need good design coupled with developers and local government to make it a reality. This panel will prove that zero carbon isn’t science fiction, it’s happening and it’s achievable. Speakers include Linda Thiel, White Arkitekter and Bill Dunster, ZEDfactory. 17:30 – Brave new world Cutting-edge technologies and radical forms encourage us to look ahead but in recent years restrained and rational projects have become fashionable. This talk features the brave souls creating the places and spaces of the future including Aleksa Rizova, ALEKSA studio; Adam Nathaniel Furman; Dan Blaker, Nulty; and Stefano Dal Piva, ACME.
