Join us for Designing for the Future: Creating Sustainable and Beautiful Buildings, a workshop focused on reimagining church spaces for the future. This session explores how buildings can be more than structures—they are vital tools for gathering, mission, and nurturing faith. We’ll dive into the broader concept of sustainability, emphasising that net-zero carbon targets are just one part of the equation. Learn how to design spaces that balance environmental responsibility with flexibility, ensuring they serve the needs of your community for generations to come.
Discover the principles of Delight, Commodity, and Firmness as a guide for creating beautiful, functional, and sustainable buildings. We’ll discuss practical strategies for reducing carbon footprints, improving accessibility, and aligning your space with your mission. Whether you’re planning a new building or adapting an existing one, this workshop provides actionable insights to create spaces that reflect your values and meet your church’s evolving needs.
