Inclusive Design: Designing for Dementia and Ageing

Inclusive design is crucial for addressing the needs of individuals with Dementia, a degenerative disease that impacts their lifestyles and causes both physical and mental limitations. This CPD will give you the tools to design by understanding the context, atmosphere, and sensorial elements that affect their wellbeing, enhancing their quality of life.

Warm Roof

This course explores the purpose of insulating roofs and the principles behind warm roof and cold roof applications. We dive into the various substrates, membranes and roof coverings used in warm roof constructions, and the appropriate Total R-value requirements.

Mastering the Outdoors: How to create beautiful, durable and continuous outdoor spaces.

In this course, you will discover the different surfaces that can be used to master the outdoors. Explore the building science and technology behind the surfaces discussed and how they can be used in various project designs. From traditional pavers, such as bricks, porcelain, concrete and natural stone, to traditional pool material such as concrete and how they all compare to the innovative ultra-compact surface. Explore how the ultra-compact surface is created and how its unique properties compare to that of traditional materials.
