Target audience: Relevant for all UG and PG students, and faculty colleagues.  The talk will cover a wide range of topics, sharing ideas that have influence within all aspects of the built environment and its associated academe.

As we now look to our built environment from whole-life cycle perspectives, architects, and construction managers (and all other professions) will become more closely collaborative.  The talk will certainly contain relevant insights and ideas for them.
