The aim of this lecture series is to expose architects and designers to the field of multi-disciplinary sustainable practice through innovative thinking and solutions to our environmental and social challenges. What makes 2010 particularly appropriate for this topic is that there is a heightened necessity towards sustainable design and ecological responsibility post the recent COP15 United Nations Climate Change Conference.
The series kicks-off on the 25th of January, and will continue through till May, with 5 inspiring lectures; including experts ranging in the field of Biomimicry and Environmental law, through to trans-disciplinary permaculture and sustainable communications.
These speakers will give us a glimpse into other fields and show us how we can learn through collaboration, thus inspiring sustainable practice towards creating a better and healthier future. Speakers include:
25 January: Michael Pawlyn – Founding director at Exploration Architecture
24 February: Ed Gillespie – Co-Founder and Creative Director, Futerra
23 March: Polly Higgins - Barrister Advocate of Planetary Rights
