Image from The Sustainable Symposium
Our most recent Symposium on the important subject ‘Sustainability’ took place in our Newmarket office on 25th February 2010. With 12 different companies in attendance this proved to be our most popular event to date. The day began with a presentation by Keith Johns (Managing Director), introducing the audience to The Johns Practice.
Vic Grabecki (Senior Architect) continued with the 3 topics for discussion which were: No1 – Current legislation, political frame work and barriers to progress, No2 – The Refurbishment Market and No3 – Passive Design Solutions.
The 3 topics led to an exciting debate with all attendees getting involved.
