Configuring the Earth

Technology surrounds us. Literally. When you think about technology and construction, it is not so much about adding gadgets to buildings but rather about what has configured all the elements used in the construction of, or found inside, any of the spaces we inhabit, regardless of whether it uses electricity or electronics.

Sustainability is the only way forward for the future of building

When I became managing director of GBCe, a journalist asked me what my goals were as the association's top manager. I had no doubts what to answer: to make GBCe one of the leading associations in the sustainable building industry, while at the same time providing a rallying point for all the players who, in their respective areas, are working towards the same goals.
