Lunchtime CPD Seminar Series ‘Stone Futures’ - Number 4: Amy Wilson and Geoff Squire – Stone Stories
Across the autumn and winter, Scotland East Region, Scottish Ecological Design Association (SEDA) and Historic Environment Scotland (HES) are excited to launch a new lunchtime CPD seminar series dedicated to one of the most enduring yet ever evolving materials in our built environment: Stone
From its role in the earliest architecture to its potential in a low carbon future, stone carries its story of resilience, craft and innovation. This series will open up fresh perspectives on how stone can shape tomorrow’s buildings whilst drawing from its rich history.
Across the sessions, we will explore:
History and heritage – lessons from the past that that inform and inspire present-day practice
Environmental and embodied carbon – challenges of quarrying and processing stone, looking at the role stone can play in reducing the environmental impact and supporting more sustainable construction.
Development potential – explore new opportunities for local stone and how it can be integrated into projects at all scales.
Inspiring and innovation – how designers and engineers are re-imagining its use within contemporary architecture.
Whether you’re a technologist, architect, designer, engineer or simply curious about the possibilities of this timeless material, these seminars are designed to inform, challenge and inspire.
Join us at 13:00 on the first Monday of every month and bring your curiosity and discover how stone is being reshaped for the future.
