Looking East for Fluid Ideas, was a very successful event as you can see from the comments below:
“Looking East for Fluid Ideas has added to my knowledge of and enthusiasm for sustainable drainage solutions and green infrastructure. I found the Dutch speakers were really inspiring, and felt the design charette was very effective, and involvement of HCC councillors showed good engagement by local decision-makers.” Bill Blackledge; Director, 2B Landscape Consultancy Ltd
"I was surprised by the various approaches which are used to overcome problems in the water environment. Obviously, certain aspects such as flooding will always be a problem, but the methods used to both prevent but also live with the problem are inspirational." Matthew Sunman; Development Control Officer, East Riding of Yorkshire Council
“It is often just as valuable to bring people together as it is to have interesting and informative presentations.” Hannah Cooper; Programme officer, Arc
“The design charette was good fun and a good exercise for throwing lots of ideas around then forming them into clear proposals as a group.” David Hemenway; Technical Director, Jacobs Architecture
