ECOBUILD 2014

Have you ever heard of Ecobuild..?!?
It is a fantastic construction event and the world's largest show for sustainable design and the built environment. 

Last week I visited the show at Excel in London and I was amazed by the amount of new and exciting technologies that have been presented.
It is fantastic to witness the extraordinary change in the build environment where everything is down to energy, consumption and future. 

The highlight of this year event is the strong use of natural materials rather than artificially manufactured products. Or at least those structures are the elements I am more intrigued by.  The effort we are making as architects, designers and builders to work with nature and the changing climate it is now extremely impressive. Green wall, timber structures, stones and marbles. Everything is becoming sustainable, organic and more natural. We are practically going back to the origins implementing an extraordinary level of knowledge. All so exciting! 

Few years back I have been involved in the development of a new concept for office/space design and sustainability! Amazing ideas which I still strongly share and implement into my designs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ79zmsh1OI

At the end of the month, Shanghai is hosting Ecobuild and later in May, Ecobuild is flying to Mumbai! I wish I could visit those shows too!

Ciao!
