This year's theme ‘Solutions through Integrated Design' stresses the importance of all parties working together from the very beginning of the project through to the end, to achieve the best possible result in sustainability for all stakeholders. The correlations between the requirements of energy efficient technology and affordability, building regulations and economic use of materials and floor space, aesthetic design and construction practice, all need to be explored with the aim of protecting the environment. More than ever, there is a need to mediate between the interests of the client, tenants, authorities, professional disciplines and the contractor.
