Housing: Creating Designs for Life
Robinson College, Cambridge
13 October 2011, 9am - 5.20pm
Book by 22nd September for early bird rates.
The UK requires more homes, and they need to be better too. We need homes more suited to the demands of changing demographics, which respond better to the challenges of climate change and provide flexibility and space so that households can adapt them as they grow.
Localism poses new challenges for the routes designs must go through to gain planning permission, but this also presents opportunities as more engaged communities demand higher quality and more appropriate housing. Communities have more power in shaping housing delivery and the industry needs to design flexible housing that responds to changing social and technological demands.
The RIBA Housing conference highlights the roles and opportunities within the built environment under localism, and the shift towards neighbourhood planning. Leading industry experts and policy makers will discuss what makes a good quality home and offer advice about the role of architects in delivering schemes that will create strong and successful communities.
