About
Ecological Sustainability Seminar: Roof Gardens, Vertical Gardens & Green Facades
Green facades have the potential to transform our cities. Globally, green facades are increasingly being seen as a response to urbanisation as a way to bring natural systems back into our cities.
Society is seeing large-scale green façade projects spring up all around the world. This seminar will focus on how to design and implement green facades to ensure they deliver the benefits that they can provide, and ensure they are successful, sustainable and long-lasting.
Through practice, we are refining the technology of ensuring these vertical gardens not only survive, but thrive in Australia’s harsh climates.
The presentation will describe the collaborative multi-disciplinary approach to green facades and showcase building design & technology, horticulture, and the art and science of green infrastructure.
This event will count for 4 formal CPD points, all are GBCA Approved Points.

The Day(lighting) of the Triffids
The popularity of green walls, green facades, and indoor landscapes in has rapidly increased over the last few years; and designers and clients’ expectations of these have been raised.
Everyone knows that plants need light to grow, but there is a lot of confusion and misinformation about how much and what sort of light is needed; and where and when. And getting it wrong can mean risking death (quite literally)
Where previously growth lighting involved a lot of trial an error; it is now possible to be accurate and effective in predicting and designing the lighting environment for green infrastructure.
The presenter will demystify growth lighting; explaining how natural daylight, white light (including LED), and horticultural light sources can be used to meet plants’ lighting needs, while integrating the project’s architecture.
