摘要

I had a very brief chance, before the last presidential meeting, to look through some of the Association's archives. I found an excellent portfolio of measured drawings of St Paul's and early engineering drawings for a proposal to stabilise the Tower of Pisa in Italy. I also found a record of Frank Lloyd Wright's membership of the Association and of his visit to our headquarters when we were based in Bedford Square in London. At Bournemouth regional event the weather was fine, and I admitted that being asked to speak on sustainability there was like being asked to talk about Islamic architecture to members in Dubai. In the Bournemouth area there are over 2,000 acres of carefully tended parks and gardens, with a plethora of specimen and exotic planting throughout. They have 5.2 million visitors annually and dealing with the impact of this number of people on the environs is a considerable feat of sustainability management. Everywhere there is evidence of an intuitive and sensitive approach to sustainability including a finely manicured beach seen at 8am which a Japanese Zen gardener would be proud of. Down the road in Southampton there is another example of longstanding and successful sustainability practice in their Geothermal station which provides heating and cooling to the district. Damian Bree of Bree Day architects in Twickenham very kindly gave permission to also show illustrations of their award-winning sustainable housing scheme at Alpine Close in Maidenhead. Feedback from the delegates was of a very high order and all of the issues raised have been brought to the attention of the Presidential Team. Regional Representative Ian Stark also addressed the delegates with a mix of firmness, humour and evident empathy with the local issues with which the delegates identified. ABE technical executive Gavin Dunn steered delegates through the complex issues of the EU directives and gave a very perceptive and concise summing up of the session at the end of the evening. The evening concluded with optimism for future positive developments in the region.
