MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

INTRODUCING MATERIALS FOR ARCHITECTURE 2018

As Editor of Housebuilder & Developer magazine, I am pleased to introduce Materials for Architecture 2018: the conference and exhibition returning to London that offers the opportunity to discover innovation in materials for architecture, construction, and design.

The conference programme represents a great selection of expert practitioners from the fields of architecture, academia and product design, and the two days will provide food for thought for professionals attending. There is a clear focus across the two days on how construction materials are being innovated to provide better buildings, from sustainable concrete to hardwood CLT, to materials whose properties change in use such as auxetic and phase-change materials.

Those attending the event will be able to gain a host of insights on how to apply the latest thinking on materials for architecture, and are guaranteed to come away with some inspiration for their projects. Whether you are an architect, contractor, or anyone else interested in the field, Materials for Architecture 2018 is a must-attend event so click here to register free now.
