10TH JUNE 2009 - THE CIRCLE CLUB MANCHESTER- 6:30PM
There are so many pressures put upon architects in today’s society. Longevity, aesthetics and function are all obvious needs in a design but adding to this is global warming, anti social behavior, the recession, access legislation, fair trade and sustainability…the list goes on and is forever expanding. Does this make designing a building an impossible task? How are these pressures going to change the landscape of our urban sprawl? Join us over supper as we discuss this with our expert panel.
