Eco-Architecture ought to be in harmony with nature, including its immediate environs. Decisions have to be taken on ecological grounds concerning locations, siting and orientation, as well as the well-informed choice of materials.

Eco-Architecture can provide imaginative and expressive solutions and is driven by a generation of highly creative designs. It has important cultural as well as architectural impacts.

The development of Eco-Architecture is driven by the depletion of natural resources and the need to preserve the balance of nature. The extensive use of steel and glass and the built-in problems of discomfort from solar overheating and winter heat loss, has led to the widespread use of mechanical systems which, by careful design, could have been avoided in almost any climate.

Eco-Architecture is by definition inter-disciplinary; it requires the collaboration of engineers, planners, physicists, psychologists, sociologists, economists, and other specialists, in addition to architects.

The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for discussing the many relevant aspects of Eco-Architecture.

Conference topics include: Ecological and cultural sensitivity, Design with nature, Resource conservation, Building technologies, Design by passive systems, Rehabilitation and adaptive re-use, Material selection
