Nature-inclusive design at building level

Calculated risk

‘It increases the risk of structural problems.’
‘Maintenance is not manageable in the long term.’
‘It causes inconvenience for users.’
‘The regulations are too unclear or too strict.’
‘The client does not explicitly request it.’

And so there are still “arguments” to be made for rejecting nature integration in your project.

Our expert in nature-inclusive construction, Jente De Schepper, strongly disagrees.

By carefully integrating nature-inclusive measures into your design from the outset — with attention to detail, choice of materials, maintenance, regulations and use — the perceived risks can be managed and they will develop into fully-fledged, robust qualities of the building envelope.

During her presentation at Futurebuild, Jente will show the added value she finds in every building envelope. Including yours.

You can see Jente at work on Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 January at the Academy Campus.
