Event Information

A panel discussion chaired by Natalie Walsh, Chair of the RIAI Sustainability Group, and with presentations by: 

  • Anne-Marie Saul – Saul Design
  • Müge Karaşahin – Meehan Green

In today's society, our awareness of environmental issues is higher than ever, architects and designers must embrace new legislation, manufacturing processes and energy standards when embarking on any new project. 

The speakers will be approaching the discussion from their perspective in their respective fields to share with us how they encompass our new culture of 'green consumerism' in their day to day challenges as architects, sustainability experts and designers.
