What's On

The RIBA City CPD Club 2019 is designed to help you achieve your annual CPD requirements. Innovative schedule of seminars and workshops covering the mandatory RIBA Core Curriculum topics, the programme is delivered over four days, providing you with the flexibility to plan your annual CPD well in advance.

Our second session will focus on ‘Architecture & Energy’. The focus on climate change has alerted more of us to the growing concerns about energy consumption and being more sustainable. As architects we want to be able to deliver great design, to customers specifications and offer solutions which embrace interesting energy solutions.

This seminar will explore the daily ethical dilemmas faced by architects, from employment decisions to selecting projects and specifying materials. You will have the opportunity to reflect on these ethical issues, discuss them with fellow professionals and decide how and why to take an ethical stance in today’s world.

Join us for an evening of talks at St George’s Bristol to discover the story behind the new extension of this celebrated concert hall. Designed by Patel Taylor, Project Architect George Ferrari and Lead Engineer Claire Smith of BuroHappold will present the concepts, drivers and design evolution of the project, alongside a client perspective from the venue’s Chief Executive, Suzanne Rolt.

By attending this seminar, you will gain increased awareness of key considerations in managing projects, including proactively managing risks, change and quality. This seminar will cover key project management principles and processes linked to the project lifecycle, communication, phases, scope and deliverables, alongside benefits and outcomes for clients and stakeholders.

Hosted by Elena Marco, Head of Department Architecture and the Built Environment at UWE Bristol, our Great Debate brings together built environment professionals and future professionals to hear, discuss and question our panel of experts; and to provide intelligent thinking for the agencies and authorities tasked with leading our cities sustainability and growth.
