The conference is organised by SEDA Land, part of the Scottish Ecological Design Association, and Agile Homes. Part 3 is an evening in-person event held in Edinburgh in June, which will form part of the Architecture Fringe (exact date to be confirmed).
Part 2 follows on from the session held in January, and continues to explore innovative, affordable and low-carbon solutions to Scotland’s housing crises – both rural and urban. The event will start with a showcase of some of the beautifully-designed, prefabricated houses already available in Scotland. We know how to do it – we just need to be able to do it at scale.
Over four sessions, there will be discussions on how we might roll out more manufacturing hubs across Scotland, using local timber, and other ways of speeding up the building process. Experts will address issues around regulation, finance and whether retrofit might follow a similar model. Speakers include Barbara Lantschner of ASBP Members, John Gilbert Architects Ltd, and Neil Sutherland, founder & director of MAKAR , featured in the ASBP Awards in 2019 and 2020 in both the project and product categories.
