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.
