Date: Wednesday 20 October 2021 Time: 4pm - 5.30pm Calling all sole practitioners and architects working in small practices. We’ve developed a series of interactive online events to provide a forum to discuss issues and problems that practices are facing as they navigate their way through the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. For this session we will focus on how to achieve sustainability in heritage buildings and meet the RIBA 2030 Challenge. Delegates are welcome to submit questions 5 days in advance by email to [email protected]. Please note this event will be recorded.
