Culturele Woensdag - VIBA expo

24 November
's-Hertogenbosch

This week we visited the VIBA expo in the Gruyterfabriek in 's-Hertogenbosch.  The expo was focused on sustainable building with an emphasis on 'innovatief groen'.

Well, it was horrible trying to get to.  The walk from the station took us a good 40 min. So not a good way to start the day, but I must say it improved somewhat.  I didn't find the tour as interesting as the guest speakers - who were fantastic.

I was particularly interested in the concept of the 'groene slinger'. Thinking about the journey water takes and how we can make the most of it. How to collect, store etc.

I also liked the comments made about green roofs - we aren't limited anymore, we have the abilities to create entire forests on top of buildings! Exciting isn't it.

Anyway, here are a few photos.
