July 7-8: Green Building Conference & Exhibition, Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa

Green building has grown over the year’s from strength to strength as property owners, investors, blue chip tenants (public and private) have realized the importance and the possibilities of building for a sustainable future.

At this year’s Green Building Conference, high-leveled local and international professional speakers from different sectors will be sharing their knowledge and experience of ‘green’ building.

The conference aims to find sustainable and practical ‘green’ solutions which can be applied to all projects and find the balance between environmentally friendly, functionality and reality. Emilio Ambasz shares this dream and aim, as he describes in his abstract of his presentation for this year’s conference – Green over Grey: “For the last 30 years I have striven to find a built manner in which to integrate Architecture with Nature. In all my projects I have sought to return to the community, in the form of accessible gardens, as much, if not all, the land my building's footprint covers. A building of this nature would be accessible to and used by the members of the community at large.”
