[the green forum & manilacon 2011]

calling all green architecture advocates (architects, engineers,  builders, suppliers & people who love enough to preserve & take care of this planet)! this year's green forum, dubbed THE 8TH GREEN FORUM: THE COST AND CONS OF GOING GREEN, will be held on sept 2-3 at the SMX convention center, mall of asia complex.

manilacon 2011, of which GREEN FORUM is one of the activities,  is a 4-day construction show with exhibits showcasing  green & sustainable materials, a 2-day symposium on green & sustainable building design practices (GREEN FORUM), & a green architecture students symposium. i've attended the said event for 2 years now & i've benefited so much from all the information.

here are some of the pictures i took during last year's forum:

by the way,  Green Architecture Advocacy Philippines, Inc.,  the prime mover/organizer of this event, has been doing this forum for the last 7 years now. thanks to organizations like this, sustainability is no longer just a concept but an actuality. kudos to GreenAP!
