The Building Designers Australia (BDA) Annual National Conference and Design Awards is being held at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney’s Darling Harbour today and tomorrow April 19-21, 2012.

The conference officially begins today and is open to all professional designers; for details visit www.bdaconference.com.au.

President Building Designers Australia, Monty East, said: “This year’s conference and its theme Adaptation — Design For The Times — Past, Present And Future is very timely for redefining design and developing a new approach to providing shelter for the millions of people requiring somewhere to live.”

Gold Partner and Premium Sponsor, Austral Bricks, and many other exhibitors are at this year’s conference.

The conference program will run as two parallel initiatives, alternatively focusing on the conference theme of Design for the Times, Past, Present and Future, where the speakers will provide the delegates with conceptual design insight behind their topic project.

Building Designers Australia is the national co-coordinating body for the State Building Designers Associations.
