Ecobuild explores new avenues in 2017
The annual conference and exhibition is turning the Excel into an immersive city packed with the latest innovations in the built environment for its this year’s edition.
E
cobuild returns in March with a focus on regeneration and sustainability, with a complete overhaul of the floor plan for the show’s 2017 edition.
The annual conference and exhibition will transform the Excel London
into a ‘city’ with a main street, distinct destinations and special feature attractions. The ‘boulevard’ – aptly named Regeneration Drive – will run through the centre of the exhibition floor to guide visitors through the best examples of innovation and creativity. “We asked our visitors what they want and need from the show, and sustainability overwhelmingly came to the top of the agenda. Imagining the exhibition as a city allows us to deliver a unique programme focused on regeneration in a way that is relevant and inclusive to all our exhibitors and visitors,” explained Martin Hurn, brand director at Ecobuild. “Different aspects of construction and the built environment deserve specific focus, and each of Ecobuild 2017’s destinations will have something distinct and exciting to offer.” Pavilions will be showcased from associations including the Builders
Merchants Federation, Passivhaus Trust, NFRC, Concrete Pavilion, TRADA and the STA. As visitors make their way up Regeneration Drive, they will be introduced
to key destinations including The Arena, City Hall, The Campus, The Gateway and The Performance Lab.
“Speakers will discuss managing down energy consumption and using BIM for facilities management”
The main hubs The Arena will host the Ecobuild Conference. As part of the programme, the UK Green Building Council (UK-GBC) will hold daily leadership panels chaired by the organisation’s CEO Julie Hirigoyen. City Hall, the show’s sustainability hub, will be home to the UK-GBC and
World Green Building Council, representing the culmination of Ecobuild’s ‘Redefining Sustainability’ campaign, which seeks to raise awareness of sustainability objectives and drives across the industry. At the Campus, the place for innovations and latest technology at
Ecobuild, architectural collective Assemble will present their Turner Prize- winning Granby Workshop project through an installation that will tell the story behind the regeneration project. Meanwhile, Future Materials, a gallery curated by ARCC, will preview materials and processes in research or testing stage.
