At this free-to-attend morning briefing (the second of its kind), specifiers can explore the differing techniques in contemporary roof specification, design and installation.
Three top architectural practices will discuss their work on three very different roofing challenges. From a detailed look at BACA architects Amphibious House (featured on Grand Designs), through to Hiscox’s new headquarters in York, which is being completed this autumn by MAKE Architects, and finishing with HPW Architecture’s roofing at Peppa Pig World.
The morning seminar will explore the specific and unique challenges in the design of these projects, how specifiers found solutions for them, the products they used and the benefits derived from them. Experts from SIG Design and Technology and SIG Zinc and Copper will then offer guidance on the maze of roofing design and system selection and outline, including: who is responsible for ensuring roofs do not leak, what to look out for with roofing guarantees, and how best to specify hard metals for different roofing requirements.
Speakers will include:
Ruth Slavid, Architectural Writer (Chair)
Robert Barker, Director, BACA Architects
Robin Gill, Architect, MAKE architects
Gary Wilburn, Director, HPW Architecture
Jim Hooker, Technical Director, Single Ply Roofing Association (SPRA)
Ross Finnie, Sales Director, SIG Design and Technology
