Three international November days of sustainable architecture :
- ICIS in collaboration with AA (Academic Architects), Denmark

MC405: 360 Slides - Future Systems / Jan Kaplicki

MC402: The Eden Project, UK - Grimshaw Architects / Jolyon Brewis

MC407: The Sustainability Paradox - Richard Rogers Partnership / Lennart Grut

MC405 
360 slides - Future Systems
Jan Kaplicki, UK

4th November 2004
Den Sorte Diamant, Copenhagen, 10 am – 5 pm

Jan Kaplicky of Future Systems, London, will present an extraordinary and personal selection of inspirations, ideas, imagery, sustainability and projects from the beginning of Jan's career to the present day work of Future Systems.
Future Systems is an architectural and design practice producing highly original work. The designs are not only architecturally innovative and visually striking, but are also pieces of highly functional equipment - inspired by both nature and technologies transferred from other industries.
The practice is recognised world-wide for consistently challenging traditional pre-conceptions of space and demonstrating environmental concern and efficiency, without the need to compromise on contemporary form – as demonstrated in the highly successful Earth Centre, in Doncaster, UK.
Research is a vital ingredient for the practice of Future Systems, and a balance between experimental and real projects is kept in order to remain at the cutting-edge of the field.
The day will be a mix of presentations and discussions with breaks for coffee and lunch.

Cost: 4.950 dkr plus VAT (incl lunch)
Non-members: 5.550 dkr/euro 750 plus VAT (incl. lunch)

The programme will consist of 3 main sections: The first will be looking at the concept and idea of the EDEN project. The second part will deal with the process, the production and materials. The third part will include the new developments, which Nicholas Grimshaw and Partners are working on.

MC407 
The Sustainability Paradox
Richard Rogers Partnership / Lennart Grut

18th November 2004
Arkitekternes Hus, Copenhagen, 10 am – 5 pm

Sustainable buildings that can reduce energy consumption without significantly reducing comfort levels have become a major priority for the architectural profession. But the field is swamped by myths too. Developers do not always agree with this view, using economical constraints as the reasons for not engaging in the sustainable development process.
Lennart Grut of Richard Rogers Partnership has a long-standing concern with environmental performance, reflecting the personal interests of the directors. The practice sees issues of energy use and environmental impact as a critical part of the building and urban design process. Specialist analysis and research inform design and encourage innovation in environmental systems and technologies.
Richard Rogers Partnership has pioneered the development of ‘intelligent' buildings that can contribute substantially (up to 75%) to reducing the running and maintenance cost during the life cycle of a building.
Lennart Grut will present cases relating to the above and discuss the problems and barriers encountered in the process.

The day will be a mix of presentations and discussions with breaks for coffee and lunch.

Cost: Members of AA: 4.950 dkr- plus VAT (incl lunch)
Non-members: 5.550 dkr/euro 750 plus VAT (incl. lunch)
