Welcome to the eleventh People and Buildings conference. We hope that you have an interesting and productive time.
The conference is for master’s level students on low energy and sustainable building courses in schools of architecture and engineering from the past two years. The conference gives students a chance to present your work to peers beyond the confines of your own academic. We are pleased that staff and students from UK universities (this year from London, Southampton, Liverpool, Cardiff and Nottingham) with two international universities (Albania and Pakistan) are also joining us.
