Why Do We Build Roofs… Then Fix Them?

01 May 2026
Build and Renovation Theatre
Solar has become a symbol of sustainable living but too often it’s treated as an afterthought, bolted onto buildings that were never designed to accommodate it. This talk asks a simple question: why do we design a roof, only to go back and fix it? Through a series of visual, sometimes humorous comparisons, it explores how truly integrated solar can become part of the architecture itself - calm, coherent and quietly doing its job. Less about technology and more about design thinking, this is a conversation about building homes that don’t just look right but work effortlessly from the start.
