Our attitudes, business models, products, services and actions related to the design, build, maintenance and transformation of our Built Environments have to change fundamentally. New build, renovation, and restoration projects increasingly focus on energy efficiency, renewable energy generation, sustainable building, water management and resource efficiency. This is not so strange when you consider the implications of a growing global population and rise in living standards. More and more Resources will be necessary to meet global demand.
For a long time, we have treated natural resources as if they were infinite and the use of toxic substances as something of little significance. Those times now seem to be well and truly over. From studies towards major turnarounds in our society by Economists, we know that major transitions occur when Structural social changes meet major economic developments and new disruptive technology. Recent financial crises, a major increase of world population, growing resource usage, Changing Demographics (e.g. aging & urbanization) in combination with the possibilities created by the disruptive information and communication technologies is an indication that we are currently on the threshold of such a period in history. This presents major challenges to our society, the current built environment and consequently to architecture, urban planning, and the construction sector.
The built environment has a major impact on how we experience the quality of our daily life. With a world population that is predicted to grow considerably, the demand for Energy and resources is likely to increase and not diminish. Since the construction sector is currently responsible for 40% of energy consumption, 40% resource usage and 40% of waste globally, it is one of the most important sectors in which a real impact can be made to improve our ecological footprint. This means Architecture and Urbanism are facing a major challenge. But then still, finding answers in designing and realizing green objects and Sustainable Urban only will not be enough. Addressing these issues successfully can never be done without considering how man experiences the quality of the built environment. More than ever architecture and urbanism have the responsibility to include issues important to ordinary people, e.g. the affordability of housing, the accessibility of the Urban Environment for elderly, healthy and comfortable places to live, safe working conditions, new jobs and maintaining the quality of life in regional areas with a shrinking population.
This demands an interdisciplinary approach for architects as well as urban designers and an integrated supply chain to execute the developed plans.
The aim of this Conference is to exchange knowledge and experience in ramping up the future-proofing of new and existing dwellings and communities.

Ethics in architecture:

Ethics in architecture: best practice for sourcing materials, products and people.
The 21st Century presents a number of unprecedented and interrelated global challenges. Population growth, climate change, resource depletion, including energy and water, and food security are no longer the sole concern of governments or fragile communities. Instead, corporates now recognize that what were once viewed as inconsequential ‘externalities’ increasingly represent a clear threat to their current and future viability, particularly where those businesses operate extended and complex supply chains.
These threats are no longer restricted solely to concerns of ‘reputational damage’, but are beginning to impact already narrow margins and challenge operational effectiveness. In addition, national and international bodies are introducing legislative burdens that require increasingly sophisticated responses from both national and international corporations.
Seminar sessions will be structured as follows
- The size of the challenge: case studies from such client sectors as retail, construction and public procurement that highlight the reality of human rights issues in supply chains
- The business rationale for ethical sourcing: legislative developments, the role and effectiveness of activist organisations, the commercial cost of poor governance and its application to architects and their clients.
- Structure for success: implementing management systems, effective stakeholder engagement, collating and analysing appropriate data, root cause analysis and pragmatic interventions
Speaker
Chris McCann, Resilient World
Chris has over twenty years’ experience in developing, implementing and managing responsible sourcing programmes for Fortune 500 companies across Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia. He is currently a member of the UK Construction Industry Coalition for Ethical Sourcing, and special adviser to the Welsh government.

Event Details
Geographic Information Systems is a powerful urban planning tool that provides functionality to capture, store, question, analyze, display and produce geographic information. Moreover, it is a technology that encompasses the study of spatial (geographic) locations and features on Earth’s surface and the relationships between them. Because urban planning fundamentally involves the study of locations and spatial relationships, today’s employers are looking for graduates of urban planning and urban design programs with good command of GIS. Particularly, professionals with spatial analysis techniques and GIS project management skills are on demand in order to effectively deal with multi-faceted urban planning issues. Environmental Systems Research Institute’s (Esri) ArcGIS software suite has become a standard in the industry and is used by many government agencies, non-profit organizations, and private firms engaged in GIS analyses.
