2020-02-01 - 2020-12-24 | Roca London Gallery, Station Court, Townmead Road, London, SW6 2PY, United Kingdom
Flood Resilient Architecture
The exhibition explores how architecture is having to adapt to a growing climate reality: urban flooding. A recent RIBA report shows that 1 in 6 UK homes are currently vulnerable to flooding, with that number expected to double by 2050. With water causing an average of £1.4 billion of damage each year to UK businesses and households, architecture has to start helping us ‘live with water’, since prevention measures are simply proving inadequate.
Sea Change showcases projects by leading architects around the world in the field of flood resilient architecture. Solutions include: working with nature by developing floating buildings; improving flood barriers and turning them into recreational space; and elevating a range of public and private buildings.

SBID Regional Event: Bringing the Outdoors In
2020-03-26 18:00 - 20:30 | Craig & Rose Showroom, 13 Deanhaugh Street, Stockbridge, Edinburgh, EH4 1LU
Connecting our designs for home, interiors and garden
Modern homes are all about the connection between house and garden. The indoor / outdoor living style has brought the designing of homes and gardens together. Modern architectural features are opening up homes and linking the inside and out like never before. Increasingly we see buildings created for people to enjoy the modern lifestyle of indoor / outdoor living, yet Interior Design and Garden / Landscape Design tends to work as two separate disciplines. Garden Designer by profession, Lynn Hill’s approach calls for joined up thinking, blending indoor and outdoor spaces to create a seamless transition between the two.
Interior Designers are invited to join for an interactive evening, where Lynn shares some of her very practical ideas to bring unity in the design of home and garden.
An opportunity to gain insight and inspiration, enjoy a cocktail or two and get creative with some paint techniques whilst creating a small plant pot (with a ‘well behaved’ plant) that you can take home and keep*. The event is held at Craig & Rose Edinburgh, who will be on hand to answer questions about how to get creative with their quality paints and master their painting techniques for creating features both inside and out. LivingGreen Design will present us with a plethora of choice with their professional grade planters and green lifestyle products.
This free event includes cocktails, nibbles and all the creative materials.
*Plant pot creation is limited to the first 10 spaces!
