Spring Green 2010: Water and built environment sustainability
Spring Green 2010: Water and built environment sustainability
6 March - 22 May 2010
From rivers, canals, harbours and the sea, to drains, sewers and treatment plants, water is at the heart of our infrastructure. This year’s Spring Green season at the Architecture Centre focuses on water and built environment sustainability, encouraging debate around this crucial and topical area.
Through a season of exhibitions, events and lectures we highlight the importance of the network of water that forms the infrastructure to urban environments and the key role it plays in shaping our understanding of our climate and environment.
Spring Green 2010 will explore this diverse subject, from technological advances in flood management, infrastructure, and global issues around resources, to the psychological influence of water on cities and urban planning.
Spring Green is The Architecture Centre’s annual programme of exhibitions and events that celebrate and showcase sustainable innovation in the built environment.
