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.”
