The 2013 Conference programme will be available from the autumn of 2012.
To get a flavour of what you can expect to see, please refer to our 2011 programme below:
A debate was held on overcoming the challenges facing architects and designers in fulfilling sustainability criteria when designing, building and specifying with stone and discovering how to source stone in a socially responsible and ethical manner. Case studies were presented explained how cleaning, fixing and maintaining stone is becoming greener discovering the most sustainable options for using stone as a building material.
Stone Federation Great Britain presented their RIBA CPD accredited Stone in the City seminar in the morning providing an overview on the use of stone from the selection process to the finished project. In the afternoon, there was a unique opportunity to hear from the architects and stone professionals involved in recently recognised Projects of Excellence including 264-267 Tottenham Court Road, Canon Bridge House, Liverpool Canal Link & Pier Head and 20 Gresham Street, London.
The final day was dedicated to stone conservation and was overseen by English Heritage and the English Stone Forum. Themes explored included selecting the correct stone for building repair and a strategic overview of our indigenous stones.
