LEAF Forum 2013

A brief introduction to lead sponsor Interface:

Interface is a global leader in the design and production of carpet tiles. Its products combine beauty and innovation with functionality and environmental credentials to help customers bring their design vision to life.

Interface was one of the first companies to publicly commit to sustainability, when it made a pledge in the mid-nineties to eliminate its impact on the environment by 2020. Known as Mission Zero, it influences every aspect of the business and inspires the company to continually push the boundaries in order to achieve its goal.

Interface is now more than half way to reaching Mission Zero and has been widely recognised for its achievements to date. Its products have also achieved several awards, specifically for design and innovation, the most recent being The Athenaeum Good Design Award for World Textiles. Check the website regularly as we announce key speakers for the event! We will also have some exciting surprises in store for you in the build up to this highly informative and innovative forum!

LEAF Awards Review for 2011

The Emirates Glass LEAF Awards is now in its 9th annual year and celebrates the best architecture globally in the last year.

The jury - comprising of Lucy Bullivant, Irving Brauer, Stephen Fisher, Angus Brown - were looking for "strategic excellence, marketplace impact and, above all, innovation and practical developments that challenge and change the way we evaluate the buildings of today".

The Overall LEAF Awards winner for 2011 was Milanofiori Residential Complex, Milan, Italy by OBR

Part of a masterplan by Erick van Egeraat this building could be summarised as a C-shaped plan of 107 apartments where the outer and inner facades are exceptionally different from each other. The 'outer' one facing the street outside is more urban, and the 'inner' enclosing a park is more organic.

e-architect were media partners for the LEAF Awards as in previous years
