I did a few hours on the CAP'EM stand and met some really interesting people. A lady from Colombia who is hoping to replicate a CAP'EM style of eco-material assessment for South America, a Belgian designer trying to make insulation out of wood waste and a man from East Anglia involved in a really interesting retro-fit project.
Attended a brilliant seminar on Preserving the Fabric of Historic Buildings and then...I had a wander.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!
So far I've loved the student innovation which is on display in the North Hall. The '3D' artwork above was clever and shows up well in a photograph. And the Thermafleece stand has an outstanding display of all the things that can be done with wool (see top pic). After a day at EcoBuild, I felt like curling up inside one of the wool blanket covered 'O's and having a little nap!
Off to conferences on Collaborative Consumption and Green Interiors today. Be on the lookout for some exciting blogging about an upcoming competition and to find out what the students at Huddersfield School of Art and Design are up to (think lightbulbs printed from a 3D printer...so cool!).
What are you looking forward to today at EcoBuild?
Best wishes,
