Extremely timely, the launch of this CPD coincides with the UK government wanting to ‘Build Back Better’, and so the construction industry needs to pre-empt the future with ingenuity, flexibility and design innovation. As trends towards wellness, eco-efficiency and technology are set to merge in the built environment, Gira has found the ability to create a tailor-made living experience is becoming ever more desirable across all projects, in all sectors.
With this in mind, Gira is keen to support its peers by bringing its award-winning product designs and solutions to the world’s most prestigious associations for architects and respective design community – RIBA and BIID.
