What graduates have said about 'Green Buildings and Design'

The most comprehensive conference on sustainability I have been to. The wide cross-section and quality of presenters provided a great insight into what roll the architect plays in creating sustainable developments.

Alex Nock, Associate, Woodhead International

‘The most informative and best overview of green building and design in Australia’Caimin McCabe, Director, Cundall

I really liked the practical emphasis and discussion of real projects. One of the continuing problems is understanding the on-the-ground implementation of ESD. I’ve been three years running and continue to find it of value.
