Vision multiple participants. Live demonstrations and networking will provide opportunities to meet and exchange ideas with our continental counterparts. Key professional and cultural organisations will also be represented, such as the RIBA, BRE, the London Festival of Architecture, New London Architecture and the Museum of Architecture. The CPD- certified event is designed to educate and inspire, with international solutions to local problems. BRE have curated a series of talks aimed to target the main issues facing the construction industry today. The RIBA is also taking centre stage, targeting housing and sustainability as the focus of a number of presentations and debates. New London Architecture will return to Vision with their annual PechaKucha, this time considering the global ways of working and how that might affect efforts closer to home. All the talks and presentations at Vision will take place under the umbrella topics: Materials Innovations, Technological Insight and Architectural & Design Evolution. This framework will help delegates rethink the built environment and the manner in which we can shape places and spaces. Speakers have been sourced from the best practices in the country and around the world, both small and large. Roger Ridsill from Foster + Partners will discuss the role of engineering in a global firm while Benjamin Garcia Saxe, based in Costa Rica, will explore new sustainable materials used in tropical architecture. Zaha Hadid Architects’ Stefano Paiocchi will reveal a new design approach that blends techniques between fashion and architectural processes, and Caroline Bos of UNStudio will talk about their research into the circular economy. The free-to-attend exhibition is open for registration and will take place at Olympia from 6-7 June, featuring established companies alongside the brightest start- ups.
