Monitoring EcoBuild’s performance
Posted on March 10th, 2010 by Hattie Hartman
Guest blogger Margaret Reynolds of A C Architects Cambridge Ltd

This year’s Ecobuild has more stalls than ever, in the usual tortuous layout. Surely clearer product sections are needed to aid navigation and prevent green fatigue? The expansion of the seminar programme is far more welcome ― from high-level debates to technical briefings on energy, water, standards and materials.

Posted on March 3rd, 2010 by Hattie Hartman
From guest blogger Paul Hinkin, managing director of Black Architecture
I concentrated on smaller companies with more unusual or innovative things on offer. This proved to be quite difficult as the number of these stands is less than in previous years.

Calling all Part 1 students
Posted on March 2nd, 2010 by Hattie Hartman
The Architects’ Journal is conducting a student survey to find out how sustainable design is being taught in the UK for the RIBA Part I course. We have received many responses from some schools, but other schools are under-represented. If you know faculty or students on these courses, please forward the link below. DEADLINE: Sunday, March 7.
All those who complete the survey by Friday will be entered into a draw to win one of ten copies of Brian Edwards’ Rough Guide to Sustainability - 3rd Edition (picture above).
