Atlantis will be presenting on Friday 28th May, from 2pm to 2.45 pm at the Landscape Australia Expo Perth. Within the seminar program we will present the following topic:
Environmentally Neutral Design
Integrating Water, Carbon and Thermo Neutral Design and Technologies, with example of projects from around the world.
Felipe Kovacic, Director of Atlantis, will be presenting this very interesting topic that has been successfully shown in environmental conferences in Sydney, Melbourne, Bangkok and New Delhi. People who attend, especially for the landscape point of view, will be able to incorporate sustainable and environmental criteria to all of their projects, this way benefiting every square centimetre of available land for this purpose, especially optimizing the use of water and reducing heat island effect.
