RIBA S/SE Sustainability - Re-Use: From One Building Life-Cycle To The Next

RIBA S/SE Sustainability Group - Re-Use: From One Building Life-Cycle To The Next

For this month's talk we will be joined by Matthew Barnett Howland (CSK Architects) and Oliver Wilton (The Bartlett UCL)

Matthew and Oliver will discuss selected recent work that adopts an approach of Form Follows Life-cycle. This holistic design approach addresses environmental sustainability across building life-cycle stages and delivers directly resultant, tailored architectural language and character. In particular they will discuss several projects in relation to re-use and its relationship to architecture life-cycle as a whole.
