This event is aimed at practitioners from the fields of architecture, interior design and related design disciplines and will serve as a platform for dialogue and discussion on the practical aspects of sustainability, from the use of materials and net zero carbon mitigation strategies to the adoption of global sustainability approaches in the local context of Southeast Asia and Vietnam.
Experts from global and local architecture firms, academia, developers and operators will share their expertise and experience on this topic, and ensure that attendees gain valuable insights into the practice of sustainability. We will also offer tours of buildings and offices and all participants will have the opportunity to interact with industry professionals to foster collaborations and partnerships for future projects.
