Join us at the 2023 LEAF conference in Berlin

We are attending the 2023 Leading European Architecture Forum (LEAF) conference at the Steigenberger Airport Hotel in Berlin on October 10th-11th.

On the 10th of October at 09:25, Senior Architect Alexander Esfahani will be on a Panel to discuss ‘Decarbonising the built environment - accelerating the path to net zero’.

On the 11th of October at 11:55, Director Michael Swiszczowski will be on a Panel to discuss ‘Bold visions for low-cost living – how do we address the global crises of housing and homelessness’.

Senior Architect Martina Petrosino from our Brussels studio will also attend the event.

LEAF brings together senior decision-makers from leading international architectural practices, contractors, developers, engineers, interior designers, government officials and supplier partners to discuss future building projects, and shares ideas and best practice within the industry.

LEAF 2023 will focus on forward-thinking strategies to deliver on net zero targets and explore how technology, digitalisation and the coronavirus pandemic are transforming the built environment across the entire supply chain. The agenda will look at sustainable architecture design strategies that reduce the negative environmental impact from future built environment projects and assessing sustainable performance.
