Following on from the Glass Debate which took place in March, the November debate will examine the continuing impact of the new Part L Building Regulations and their impact on the design of 'all glass' buildings that meet the thermal insulation standards.

Join the debate to hear from those who have embraced the regulations and devised new ways of cladding structures and using new materials. You'll also hear from those who fear the changes are placing unreasonable constraints on the design solutions available.
