Workshop Building, Inveresk Campus, Launceston
Summary:Annual ASA Conference held at the University of Tasmania
This year's theme is 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 greenhouse 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?
