Renovating or building? Be matched up with Australia's leading sustainable architects and designers in a relaxed 'no obligations' environment. Presented by the Alternative Technology Association.

Wanting to build an 8, 9 or 10-star home? Then have a date with some of Melbourne’s leading sustainable architects and building designers. The popular event, Speed Date a Sustainable Designer, returns in 2013 to allow people who are building or renovating to discuss their ideas with the experts and explore the best environmental options for their home. Twelve minute slots per "couple" - all questions asked and answered! What to Bring:

Bring your sketches, plans and photographs on your tablet, laptop or good old hard copies! The designers will offer solutions, ideas and alternative viewpoints. Check out videos and images from previous events at the link above. The event is run by the Alternative Technology Association (ATA), a not-for-profit organisation promoting sustainable design, renewable energy and water saving in the home. Supported by bankmecu.
