Building Brum: On The Rise Event
On Thursday 19 September, we are hosting Building Brum: On The Rise with WSP.
‘Birmingham On the Rise’ will be an interactive exploration of the city’s past, present and future relationship with tall buildings and densification.
The evening will focus on how built environment professionals can work together and support tall buildings and densification in Birmingham. This will start with debating the following key questions / challenges:
- What is driving the need to be taller and denser?
- Do we need to re-define ‘tall’ and ‘dense’ in Birmingham?
- What are the key locational requirements?
- How do we balance the ‘human scale’ and high quality design with cost?
- How do we integrate with existing neighbourhoods?
There will be an opportunity to network and discuss the past, present and future context of tall buildings and densification in Birmingham prior to and after the panel discussion.
Tickets are now available here.
Building Brum is a cross institute built environment networking series for members of RIBA, RICS, ICE, RTPI, BIID, SBID, Landscape Institute, CIOB, NFB, CIAT & ISE.
