Event Series 2007/08 - Designing for life
50% of all the UK's carbon emissions are produced by the built environment. The industry creates a third of all waste. How should the North East respond to this?
Designing for life - In autumn 2007 Northern Architecture's popular event series returned, this time looking at the key issue of sustainability within the design of buildings and spaces in the North East.
