Challenging, thought-provoking and entertaining

Ecobuild’s Arena hosted a series of discussions and debates involving distinguished people with very different views and experiences, all of which help create a better understanding of the built environment and its connections: such as the role of science, changing behaviour, population and resources, coping with demographic change, notions of design and beauty, the role of government, the financial system, and the way in which we manufacture and consume things.

The Arena was also at the very heart of the debate about sustainability: not just how to make more energy efficient buildings, but how to understand what sustainability means and looks like in its widest sense.

New for 2010 were the series of Arena lectures. Eight expert speakers delivered stimulating talks on a range of subjects from design to politics.
