In 2023 we want to empower our network with the skills necessary to reframe the way we collectively look at resources.

Our industry is one of the biggest contributors to waste on the planet and there are many things we can do to help reshape the way we plan our projects in order to reduce the waste they produce, however, we often forget that we make statements also in our everyday lives.

Picking up from the discussions that took place in our conference back in 2020 (See videos here) , we plan to run a series of events that will expand on the idea of Practical Circular Economy with the intention of acquainting ourselves with the (many) opportunities that can be unlocked through considering CE another part of our day to day practice… like many cultures have been doing for centuries.

Event insight:

Reuse, Retrofit, Recycle

The event will be run by two of our committee members, Building Surveyor and Associate Director at Avison Young Rosemary Silver and Architect and co-Founder of Atelier EURA Cristina Lanz Azcarate

We will learn about Urban mining, retrofitting, repurposing and a lot more from people working within the space
