What do past entrants and delegates think?

It has been amazing to be part of the WAF award winning team. When you look across the range and quality of projects put forward for the WAF Awards, to be short listed and then become associated with the overall winner is a momentous achievement for Grant Associates.

Talks, Seminars and Workshops 2013

Value and Values seminar and keynote programme

This year's theme for the World Architecture Festival is value and values. This subject will inform a talks series that will take place throughout the Festival.

The talks will examine what architecture and other forms of design provide in terms of social, economic and environmental value; as well exploring the values that underpin the way designer’s think about the world.

The WAF talks will also consider the idea of value and values in relation to:

Understanding the economic value of architecture
Examining value of carbon saving, energy-conscious design, water
conservation and bio-diversity strategies
Exploring the value of architecture on society: shelter, learning, healthcare, sport and leisure, public space and parks
Understanding the values that underpin the way designers think about the world
What is taught in architecture schools, and why?
The relationship between political, economic and philosophical ideas and the world of design
What are the shared values of architects around the world?

More information and WAF programme updates coming soon, keep checking for the latest updates.

Ed Vaizey, who really does have an interest in, knowledge of, and liking for architecture, has taken a welcome initiative. His review of the state of British architecture, intended to inform a debate about the desirability of a national architecture policy, will focus minds and raise the status of architecture ...
