RIBA Core Curriculum: Designing & building it
The following CPD materials fall within the ‘Designing and building it – structural design, construction, technology and engineering’ RIBA Core Curriculum topic area.
This CPD seminar aims to provide a greater understanding of the capabilities of modular buildings and the many benefits that off-site construction can bring. Discover how permanent buildings can be delivered in a fraction of the time of traditional methods, using a highly sustainable, energy-efficient process. The flexibility of the building system gives the architect almost infinite design potential, whilst off-site construction reduces site disruption.
