2023 Conference Information

Sustainability and Health:
The nexus of carbon-neutral architecture and well-being

Architecture is now seeing rapid change and innovation in a push to reduce our contribution to green house gases and climate change; but has there been an equal focus on well-being in the built environment? This November in Tasmania, we look at putting people back on the agenda. Are sustainable buildings also healthy for humans? And if not, what are we doing about it?

Subthemes

  • Indoor and outdoor Environment Quality and Performance
  • Architectural construction and technology
  • Building Physics (Energy, Sound, Light, Hygrothermal)
  • Data driven design, Big data, Parametric Design
  • Architectural education
  • Regenerative/reuse (Permanence, transformation, contemporaneity)
  • Practice/Practitioner, Community and Industry Engagement, applied science in practice
