Green Sky Thinking conclusion

There was an excellent turnout for our Open-City Green Sky Thinking event last night as visitors eagerly awaited presentations from Guy Channer (Arup), James Eades (Nicholas Hare Architects) and Paul Ruyssevelt (UCL).

They were not disappointed.

Inspired talks from all three speakers, followed by lively discussion, provided much to consider about adaptability of buildings. Whilst technologies can make a difference at a detailed level, it is clear that fundamentally, a well-defined brief and a clearer recognition of occupants' needs remain vital to developing buildings that will be adaptable in the future.
