As the PLEA Board of Directors we try to meet on a regulary basis. Most of the meeting are online but we try to meet in person between the conferences once, whenever the overseas directors are in Europe.
This year we have a whole PLEA Day full of activities in London at the Architectural Association. It starts on Thursday 26th of June with an open lecture of our director Susel Biondi.
Dear friends of PLEA,
we proudly announce the 2026 PLEA conference which will be held in Costa Rica from 27th to 31st of JULY 2026.
PLEA folks are getting back into the rhythm of attending live, in person conferences. And thus we traveled to Poland this summer. The PLEA 2024 conference organizers called to Wroclaw in Poland to share, debate and engage in person on a challenging sustainable architecture and urbanism to (Re)thinking resilience, to (re)think together to be an instrument for a change and to make a significant difference together. Online option were mixed in for those not able or willing to travel.
The Board is pleased to announce that with effect from 1st January 2022:
(1) Dr. Heide Schuster has been appointed as the President.
(2) Dr. Joana Carla Soares Gonçalves has been appointed as the Vice-President.
(3) Prof. Rajat Gupta has been appointed as the Secretary.
Dear PLEA friends,
This is just a thought as you may be now going on to design very low energy buildings – for practice, projects or competitions. Obviously the longer one can run a building on free local, natural energy the less the energy you have to import into a building through pipes and wires, and the lower the carbon impact of that building. So a key indicator or a truly low energy building must be how much of a day or year it can be run with resorting to mechanical systems. I had been concerned that while some of us like to design Star Wars fashion (May the Force be with Us) – others like to nail down calcs for every step of the process. So windows in many locations may need a) security grills or screens (the Japanese are wonderful at these) and b) insect or fly screens.
