We’re excited to bring you series 2 of our live webinar learning sessions! After such great positive feedback and requests for more sessions on various topics, we’re back having used your feedback to come up with a plan for the coming weeks. This time we’re focusing on living walls and their application in architectural design including the possibilities within planting, the opportunities for creativity and designing installations as a part of a greater purpose.
All sessions last 20 minutes and will be hosted by our Urban Environment Consultant, Steve McIntyre who has been working in the green infrastructure in architecture field for over 20 years. Steve is passionate about sharing how and why design (inside and out) holds so much value not only for retail but also for society and the environment. Find out more about Steve here.
As in series 1, we may be joined by professionals in the specific session topics. It’s great to get a variety of viewpoints and for them to share their expertise on the subject too. We’ll keep this page updated!
Questions and ideas are welcome – we love to hear from you and get inspired by your creativity. See the schedule below for what’s coming up…
